Advancing Corrections Journal - Edition #6 - Innovation in Education - Voices from the Front Line (ACJ6-A016)
Abstract
This paper is concerned with how the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) provides education to Nigerian prison inmate students through information technology without breaching the security policy on the use of Internet. This has been achieved using a proxy server for Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA) and e- examinations as well as the duplication of all online course materials into the prison’s desktop (offline mode). This paper concludes that th e NOUN initiative has gained wide acceptance by inmate students especially with the grant of 100% scholarship to the students.
