Abstract

The increased uptake of online education in developing nations due to the COVID-19 pandemic has made online content development and delivery an area of focus as institutions establish quality online education. Studies indicate the importance of quality content development and delivery to satisfy a new demand for online education. This study sought to investigate the status of online education in two institutions and looked out for the opportunities and challenges in online content development and delivery. The challenges included; little exposure and little experience in proper online content development and delivery coupled with poor internet access and the need for enhanced faculty training toward best practices in online education. There in the challenges lie great opportunities for those who wish to get involved in online education in developing nations such as Kenya and Ghana where this study took place. Successful online education will take the collaboration of many stakeholders such as telecommunication companies, governments, learning institutions, and non-governmental stakeholders where each will play a crucial part in creating an enabling environment for best practices.
