3 1. INTRODUCTION

The Unit for Open Distance Learning (UODL) under the leadership of its Executive Director, prof Manie Spamer, was established in 2012 to present distance education programmes of various NWU faculties and to assist with the administrative and logistical aspects of the endeavour.

Open Distance Learning is based on the following principles:

 Students can apply any time of the year.

 Each programme has a minimum and maximum duration and the programme must be completed within this time frame.

 Contact classes are mainly presented by means of interactive white boards, supported by facilitators at Learning Support Centres. Lectures can also be followed on a personal computer if students have access to the Internet. All modules presented by means of interactive white boards are recorded and stored on the Internet for students and facilitators to access at a later stage.

 Students are supported by means of a Call Centre, the LMS of the NWU (eFundi) and contact with lecturers and facilitators.

 Students have a number of assessment opportunities (examinations) during a study period and all modules can be written at each assessment opportunity.

 Students do not have a second examination opportunity directly after the first examination. If they fail the first examination (e.g. June), they can write the failed module during a next examination opportunity (e.g. November). It is preferable that a module is completed within one academic year. A valid participation mark gives the student access to two examination opportunities, where after a student must generate a new participation mark by re-registering for the module.

 Students write their examinations at several examination centres nationally and internationally.

Since 1995, the Faculty of Theology of the NWU signed Cooperation Agreements with several Bible Schools or Institutions. In 2008/2009, the Department of Higher Education gave notice that such agreements need to be reviewed. As a result, the Faculty of Theology of the NWU adopted in 2011 a new model, the Learning Support Centre model (LSC). What follows, is an attempt to create a procedure document to streamline the co-operation between the LSC’s, the UODL and the Faculty of Theology.

2. APPLICATION DATES

Applications for the first semester should be submitted by the end of October of the previous year.

4 Applications for the second semester should be submitted by the end of April of the current year.

3. REGISTRATION, CLASS LISTS AND FACILITATORS’ LISTS

Registration for the first semester should be completed by 30 January and for the second semester by 31 July. After the registration process is completed, the academic manager provides class lists and lists of the facilitators to the NWU lecturers.

4. PRE-REQUISITES FOR MODULES

The Executive Committee of the Faculty of Theology has decided to drop the majority of pre- requisites for Theology modules. However, a student needs to be made aware that he/she may find it difficult to pass a module in the second semester, for example NTES121, if he/she did not successfully completed the first semester module, in this particular example NTES111.

In the BTh qualification programme there is only one pre-requisite, namely the Academic Literacy modules (AGLA/E111&121). A student needs to pass AGLA/E111 before he/she can register for AGLA/E121.

In the Hons BA qualification programme there is also one pre-requisite: a student needs to pass TNAV671 before he/she can register for TEOL671.

5. STUDY MATERIAL

5.1 Study guides and Orientation videos

The Faculty of Theology decided to replace all paper study guides with electronic study guides. The module owners should make sure that the updated version of all study guides are on eFundi available (http://efundi.nwu.ac.za/portal/). Log in on eFundi. On the menu on the left hand side, the 9th heading is named "Study Guides". Click on it, a little block will open.

Type the module code of the study guide required, for example KDGE312 and click “search”. A list of different KDGE312 study guides will appear. Click on KDGE312 PED 2017 for the English Distance 2017 study guide or click on KDGE312 PAD 2017 for the Afrikaans Distance 2017 study guide. The study guide can be downloaded.

5 Another example, type PAST121, click “search”, and click on PAST121 PED 2016, the window on the left will appear. When the study guide looks like this, it is an indication that there is an e-guide available. This one is only a summary. To have access to the e-guide, a person needs to be linked to the PAST121 eFundi site. The NWU lecturer must please ensure that all his/her students and their facilitators are linked to his/her eFundi site and that they know how to navigate in the e-study guide. The navigation in the e-guide can be demonstrated during the orientation session. These orientation videos can be accessed at uodl.hosted.panopto.com

9 6. eFUNDI

It is important that all registered students and facilitators should have access to eFundi. As soon as students are registered, they should automatically have access to all the eFundi sites of their modules. That is, if the lecturer has done a course link when he/she created the eFundi site. Please contact Christo Louw if you need assistance. However, the NWU lecturer need to link facilitators individually by using the facilitator’s NWU number. If students or facilitators struggle with access to eFundi, please encourage them to contact the UODL Call Centre at 018 285 5900 or send an email to [email protected]

Please encourage the facilitators and students to watch the following videos which Christo has prepared as an introduction to eFundi: http://youtu.be/8k6dvp6fZ5w and http://youtu.be/WyZiFFSYWJg

7. NWU LECTURERS AND FACILITATORS

At the beginning of each semester, the academic manager provides a list of all the facilitators at the different LSC’s to the NWU lecturer for each module in order to facilitate communication between the NWU lecturer and the facilitators.

7.1 Role of NWU Lecturers

He/she is the module owner and responsible for the study material (including the management of the eFundi site of the module) and the classes via the interactive whiteboard. Please remember that the PowerPoints for the broadcasts should be both in Afrikaans and English and should be send in advance to the interpreters (Rinée Pretorius [email protected]) and the UODL ([email protected]). The BTh modules are presented in either Afrikaans or English and interpreted into the other language and the Hons BA modules are presented only in English and interpreted into Afrikaans. During these contact sessions, the NWU lecturer provides the necessary information that will enable facilitators to provide extra facilitation to students at the LSC’s and enable students to successfully master the module. The NWU lecturer is responsible for the marking of the assignments (students submit their assignments electronically on eFundi). The NWU lecturer should provide memoranda for the assignments to the Italian, Portuguese and Dumisani facilitators as they will mark the assignments at their LSC’s. The NWU lecturer is also responsible for the setting and marking of the exam papers. This should be done in collaboration with the facilitators and the Pentecostal colleagues. It is important that he/she should inform the facilitators and the students about the format of the exam, whether it is an open book exam or not, which resources may be used, whether students may work on their laptops, whether they need to ensure that they have internet access, etc.

7.2 Role of Facilitators

10 Facilitators should ensure that they and the students at their LSC’s have access to eFundi. Facilitators should also ensure that they have good contact with the NWU lecturers. All questions regarding academic issues should be addressed to the NWU lecturers. It is the responsibility of the facilitators to ensure that they and the students at the LSC’s “attend” the broadcasts or watch the recordings of the contact sessions at a later stage. The facilitators provide extra facilitation to the students as and when necessary. Facilitators should assist the students to submit their assignments on eFundi for marking.

9. PARTICIPATION MARKS

9.1 English or Afrikaans LSC’s

The students submit their assignments on eFundi and it is being marked electronically (see exception below). Please remind the students to submit their assignments with an extra blank page at the end in PDF on eFundi. Every assignment is marked out of 100. The NWU lecturers whose modules have a Section B, should organise the marking of the assignments

21 with the Pentecostal markers. Markers have 2 weeks to mark an assignment and give feedback to the students.

The system generates the participation marks automatically by 15 May for the first semester and 13 October for the second semester. These marks are communicated automatically to the students.

For this to happen correctly, the module owner should provide the UODL with the weights of the assignments to calculate the participation mark correctly. For modules with more than one section, like OTES211, OTES674, NTES221 and NTES673, the module owner should also indicate the weight of the different sections.

The only exception is that the students enrolled with BISA, Dumisani and JWTC submit their assignments to their facilitators and the facilitators provide the participation marks on EXCEL sheets to Pieter Vermaak ([email protected]) at the UODL. The manner in which the participation mark for each module should be calculated, is given in the study guide. The module owner should ensure that the information in the study guide is correct.

9.2 Portuguese and Italian LSC’s

The facilitators are responsible to mark the assignments of the students at these LSC’s. They are free to ask the NWU lecturer for the memorandums for the assignments and need to submit the participations marks on EXCEL sheets to Pieter Vermaak ([email protected]) before the due dates.

11. OPEN BOOK EXAMS

At the top right hand corner of the exam paper, the examiner indicates whether the exam is open book or not. If it is an open book exam, the examiner should explain which resources may be used during the exam, for ex. “only unmarked Bibles without explanatory notes” or “students may use the study guide, notes and handbooks”. The use of a laptop should be explained. The NWU lecturer should indicate this in the study guide or speak about it during the exam preparation session so that the students can come prepared to the exam venue.

12. BIBLES, LAPTOPS & INTERNET DURING EXAM

24 NWU lecturers should ensure that their students know what they can expect in the exam venue and what they need during the exam, e.g. Bibles, notes, books, study guides, laptops with charged batteries, extension cords, internet access, etc. NWU lecturers should remember that some students write in exam centres in remote areas where there are no access to internet and where there may also be a lack of electricity or electrical plugs.

13. DURATION OF EXAM PAPERS

NWU lectures must please limit the duration of exam papers to 4 hours, as some invigilators and students travel with taxis and a 5 hour paper cannot be accommodated at the exam centres.

14. DUE DATES FOR EXAM PAPERS

For the first semester, the exam papers should be submitted before or on 12 April and for the second semester, the date is 28 August.

15. EXAM PROCEDURE

15.1 English or Afrikaans LSC’s

From 2017, all exams will be handled by OLG. They will organise the exam centres and provide the necessary training to the invigilators. The attendance lists, exam papers and exam books will be sent to the exam centres with DHL. Each day, after the exam, the answer scripts, together with the attendance lists are organised according to the names on the attendance lists and collected by DHL. As soon as the answer scripts reach the UODL, it will be registered and the examiners will be notified to fetch the answer scripts for marking and moderation. The examiner and moderator have 10 days to complete the process. The examiner marks in red and puts the marks on the answer scripts and the 2 marks sheets that will be provided. The examiner will keep 1 copy and the other copy will be returned to the UODL together with the marked answer scripts. Those modules with a Section B for Pentecostal students will be marked by a designated marker from the Pentecostal tradition at the Faculty of Theology (cf. 9.1). He/she will mark only Section B. It is not necessary to work out the module mark, as the computer will do it automatically. The examiner then gives the answer scripts, together with the mark sheet and attendance list to the moderator. He/she does the moderation in green. After moderation, the moderator completes the moderator’s report and sends it, together with the attendance list, the mark sheet and the answer scripts, back to the examiner who ensures that everything is returned to the UODL so that the marks can be entered into the system.

25 15.2 Portuguese and Italian LSC’s

The UODL has a particular arrangement with these LSC’s regarding the translation of the exam papers, the marking and the moderation of the answer scripts. The exam marks must be send on EXCEL sheets. Please provide the MODULE CODE (e.g. MISS211 or ETIE672) and the QUALIFICATION (BTh or Hons BA). Each module should be on a separate EXCEL sheet. The EXCEL sheets with the exam marks should be emailed to Pieter Vermaak ([email protected]). The due date for submission of the exam marks for the first semester is 24 July and for the second semester it is 6 December.

15.3 Old co-operation agreements: BISA, GST and JWTC

They write their own exams and mark it themselves. They send the marks on EXCEL sheets. Each module is on a separate EXCEL sheet. The EXCEL sheets with the exam marks should be emailed to Pieter Vermaak ([email protected]). The due date for submission of the exam marks for the first semester is 24 July and for the second semester it is 6 December. The answer scripts are send to the UODL and distributed to the NWU lecturers for moderation. After completion of the moderation, the answer scripts are sent back to the UODL for safe keeping.

16. EXAM RESULTS

The results will be sent to the distance students and the students at the LSC’s as soon as the Exam Committee approved the results. For the first semester it will be 2-3 August and for the second semester it will be 15-18 December.
