Institute of Distance Education

It is never too early or late to start learning and acquiring knowledge that is why the flexibility of distance learning makes it a popular and appealing option for the students who shows their eagerness for learning even if it is away from their academic institution and within the comfort of their homes. The 21st century educational planners have sufficient reasons to believe that in the fast-shrinking global village, by the year 2025, the walled campuses of universities will be replaced by online campuses. The modern digital technologies such as cell phones, internet, audio and video-conferencing and other satellite links have forced educationists to explore these technological resources for effective learning and to disseminate education both in horizontal and vertical dimensions of our existence. Various higher education institutions in the world have launched Open and Distance Learning to make their educational programs accessible to the people of distant parts of the world.

The Vice-Chancellor of the Islamia University of Bahawalpur envisioned the Faculty of Online and Distance Education. The Institute of Online and Distance Education (IODE) is a blend of his vision & wisdom to provide education to all. The IDE has taken the lead in preparing managers of tomorrow equipped with a divergent vision, blended with technology and life skills. IDE strives to create all- rounder leaders in education by helping its students acquire the necessary skills. The Scheme of studies gives an excellent overall in-depth knowledge of course work. The university has a professionally qualified and experienced team of faculty in the Faculty of Online and Distance Education which is dedicatedly devoted to develop knowledge, skills, attitudes, and value through dynamic and interactive approaches of learning and grooming the students. These programs are led by highly qualified faculty, and students receive the same excellent academic, training, and research opportunities with equal academic standards.

Currently, the institute is offering Associate Degree Blended Learning Programs: AD Arts & Languages, AD Islamic Studies & Social Sciences and AD Computer Science. We believe our track record will make us the world's most trusted online learning providers by quite some distance. After all, with us, you have the best of all possible worlds: the course you want, the flexibility you need, and all the personal support necessary to succeed. Currently the institute is passing through the process of up gradation into the faculty of distance education. Hopefully it will be transformed into faculty after approval of the statutory bodies in coming days.
