The case of the student housing crisis in south africaMaya Group
The document discusses the student housing crisis in South Africa and proposes e-learning as an alternative solution. It notes that the student housing backlog stands at 300,000 beds and that free higher education will likely increase demand further. To help address this, it suggests that universities investigate offering more programs through e-learning/distance learning rather than traditional brick-and-mortar schools. Successful examples from UNISA and UJ are mentioned. It proposes starting with postgraduate programs and setting up off-campus learning centers, and notes China's success in expanding access to education through this model. The conclusion is that South Africa needs more research on adopting e-learning solutions.

TV broadcasting has several advantages and disadvantages as an educational technology. It can reach a wide audience quickly [1], but learners have no control over when they can access content as it is time-dependent [2]. While production costs are high, the unit cost per student can be relatively low compared to other technologies [3]. TV enables both synchronous interaction through phone lines and asynchronous learning as students can discuss content later. However, it also has limitations like inability to record lessons and power requirements [4]. Overall, while an established technology, TV broadcasting remains an effective way to deliver educational materials at scale when paired with supporting technologies and organizational support.
