Sophisticated technology and devices have digitised the world and our communities. This is especially relevant in the area of education. As one of the country’s leading education providers, MANCOSA recognised the need for top-quality online Southern African study options for those students who are not in a position to attend on-campus classes. As a result, we’ve adapted many of our courses and programmes to suit the needs of our community of remote students. Materials and instructions have been tailored to suit a digital form of learning.

Online learning utilises digital devices such as laptops, tablets, or mobile phones to access course materials and enables interaction with instructors and fellow students within an educational framework. It allows you to study remotely without the need to attend physical classes on campus.
Since distance learning and online learning are connected to each other, it is confused with these two terms, but there is a definite difference between distance learning and online learning. The term distance learning stresses on the different geographical presence of the student from the educational institution in a learning process whereas online learning highlights the method of learning that is based on the Internet. Online learning is used as a mode of delivering the programme content for students who follow distance learning programmes.
MANCOSA's online programmes provide access to resources and assignments through an online portal. You can learn from pre-recorded lectures or participate in virtual classroom sessions. Additionally, you can engage with faculty and peers through email groups, discussion forums, and online group activities, ensuring an interactive learning experience.
