NOUN 2026_1 Online Facilitation: Dates, LMS Login, Support

The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) has released its official guide for the 2026_1 online facilitation exercise. Online facilitation is a core part of the NOUN learning structure; it supports students through virtual group interactions and assessments.

NOUN uses a blended approach for this exercise, mixing synchronous (real-time) sessions with asynchronous (self-paced) learning through the university Learning Management System (LMS); students will meet and also work solo.

What “online facilitation” means in NOUN

Online facilitation is designed to guide and support students as they engage with course activities in a virtual setting. It covers group interaction and assessments, hosted through the LMS; the system carries the work.
