Open, distance and e-learning JKUAT online courses are a new blend of online learning services that offer complete flexibility to an applicant without watering down the quality of education offered. Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology has joined distance learning with its former Continuing education program to come up with a very diversified School of Open, Distance and e-learning that leverages ICT. This has resulted in cheaper and more convenient education alternatives for the people who wish to improve their education despite their age, location and prior education level.

Not only does JKUAT live to the technology part in its name, it also pushes Kenya a step closer to achieving the vision 2030 goals of education and sustainability for all Kenyans. It does not matter what your previous level of education is or what grades you achieved; you only need to show interest and to have a laptop and internet access. You will not attend the long and sometimes boring lectures, the hustle of getting a room within the school and braving the overcrowded student cafeteria for your meals. You can get a Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology qualification that is just as valuable as their regular courses, faster and at a lower cost. Read on and learn everything you need to know about JKUAT online courses and about how to get started with SODeL JKUAT.
Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology has set higher standards in the tertiary education sector in May 2012 when it inaugurated its School of Open, Distance and e-learning (SODeL). SODeL was born from the Continuing education, a program previously ran by JKUAT and overseen by the Continuing Education Program (CEP). CEP, on the other hand, had started as a program for self-sponsored students who had not received admission by the Kenya Joint Admissions Board in 1996. From CEP came distance learning, and then the innovative SODeL. The latter, is therefore, a combination of the CEP and JKUAT's basic distance learning systems.
With its vision being ‘’A leading and innovative provider of Open, Distance and e-learning education nationally and globally’’, SODeL utilizes the ever dynamic field of IT to provide a learning opportunity to all persons that want to improve their education. This system provides a solution by giving a cheaper alternative and increasing the learning scope. This is very important, especially now with the large number of learners benefiting from the free education program.
Enrolling in SODeL is easy. The only thing you need to confirm is that you have a stable internet connection, as all your learning depends on it. It is fortunate that the Kenyan internet market is flooded with affordable internet options so this won't be a bother. You can register today in the steps below;

Once your application has gone through and you get admitted, you can use your student details to log into the SODeL portal. This portal is very important as it allows you to access most of the services and study material you will need to complete your course from your computer instead of going to school. For instance, you can download the JKUAT distance learning fees structure, see your exam results, do unit registration, get lesson plans or notes and get many other services that would otherwise demand that you visit a JKUAT branch in person.
