Capstone assignment abstract: This essay is going to focus on the supervision of PhD students studying through the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) mode of education. Further focus will be on lessons learnt and areas that need attention in my Universty and in our local universities as well. ODL is defined as way of education that focuses on all aspects of open learning considering education and training whereby learners are freed from the challenges of time and place through a flexible learning environment (Ghosh, et.al., 2012). Information and communications technology (ICT) is defined as the technology used to take care of all telecommunications, audio-visual processing and transmission systems , intelligent building management systems, broadcast media, and monitoring functions and network-based control.
