Title: Practices, Opportunities, and Challenges of Cross Border Tertiary Education in Ethiopia: The Case of Unisa Ethiopia Regional Learning Center Authors: Adane, Mekdes Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to explore and understand practices, opportunities, and challenges of Cross Border Tertiary Education in Ethiopia in the context of the University of South Africa (Unisa) Ethiopia Regional Learning Center (hereafter referred as Unisa). Exploratory qualitative case study research strategy was employed and data were collected from purposively selected fourteen key respondents from Unisa, Higher Education Relevance and Quality Agency (HERQA), Ministry of Education (MoE), and Higher Education Strategic Center (HESC) and students that were enrolled at Unisa, who were selected by using snowball sampling technique. Data regarding practices, opportunities, and challenges of cross border tertiary education in Ethiopia particularly in the case of Unisa was collected by using semi-structured in-depth interview and from documents published in the area of higher education in general and cross border higher education in particular. The data were then inductively analyzed by creating themes from the raw data collected through in-depth interview and documents. The findings of the present study revealed that the value Unisa gives for teaching-learning and community outreach in Ethiopia was almost negligible when comparing to the other regional learning center in South Africa as the role of the higher education institution. Even though, there were benefits that Ethiopian students got in the area of research and creates additional job opportunity for Ethiopians but overall the opportunities that was expecting from Unisa to contribute for Ethiopia as cross border higher education institution overshadowed by the challenges faced in relation to the establishment of the regional learning center. Besides, the legal matters related to quality assurance, relevance, and recognition of qualifications was not properly managed due to the tension between the accrediting agency and the policy makers. In addition, Ethiopian students develop feelings of frustration and resentment due to lack of teamwork from supervisors (both South Africans and Ethiopian co-supervisors). Thus, since isolated cross border higher education, that fails to govern by the rules and regulations of the receiving country creates confusion among stakeholders, it is then recommended that Unsa should create deep collaboration with local higher education institutions and with in-country quality assurance agency in order to assure both the quality and relevance of the service and to protect the nation and the country’s resource from misuse if the courses and research conducted were not in line with the Ethiopia developmental policy and address contemporary issues in the country. Underpinned by a model adapted to the research purpose, the study complemented not only to the existing knowledge in the area, but it also contributed to the fact that there was no research made in non-western countries like Ethiopia over this interesting and potential rich area.

Title: Learning Materials and Trend of Using Internet as Reference of Additional Reading in Self-Directed Learning among Distance Learners in Addis Ababa Authors: Adela, Manaye Abstract: Learning and teaching materials with reference materials aid learning outcomes. The major objective of this research was the analysis of learning resource availability for learners and learners’ tendency to use reference materials beyond the modules. 124 participants were recruited by using multistage sampling from five private and public higher educational institutions. In addition to 124 questionnaires administered and 122 were given back and interview were used for data gathering. Most distance learners collect learning materials late. It is found that many of distance learners begin studying as the tutorial and exam approach. It is very few distance learners use reference materials as additional reading to modules. Using internet for academic purpose is so limited. Module language usage, “verbosity”, exemplification restraint and frivolous were raised as gaps for creating better attachment with them. So to make and take better advantage from open and distance education, learners should be encouraged to read more, making the modules o be concise and consideration of learners level are supposed to be focal areas. The habit of internet should be using to back up the shift to e-learning.

Title: Distance Learners’ Perceptions of and Attitudes towards Distance Education in Ethiopia Authors: Mulugeta, Habtamu Abstract: The main aim of this study was investigating distance learners’ perceptions of and attitudes towards distance education. For this descriptive survey, a total of 120 students were selected from two governmental Universities (Bahir Dar University and Haramaya University) that have distance education systems. The respondents were selected using simple random sampling technique; on the other hand, the institutions were selected purposefully since the researcher believed that they were prestigious for their distance education programs and the period of their tutorial programs was parallel to the data collection period of the research. A Likert scale questionnaire was employed to collect the data needed. Then the data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, particularly percentage. The results of the study showed that students had negative perceptions of and attitudes towards the various aspects of distance education institutions. Thus, the government, distance education institutions and curriculum designers should take their respective measures in maintaining students’ perceptions of and attitudes towards distance education. Furthermore, these bodies should design strict policies and procedures for distance education systems so as to modernize and up-grade the system in general.
