The Cooperative University of Kenya, has embraced Open, Distance and eLearning (ODeL) as additional mode of teaching and learning.

Electronic learning empowers learners by giving them self-reliance, independence and total control of their learning process. This level of flexibility prepares e-learners for high level responsibility, problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity.
