Abstract
This article addresses how distance
education has enabled universities in Uganda to
extend their educational services beyond their
boundaries to student who are not on campus. This
has increased on universities’ admissions while
minimally controlling overcrowding. The article
highlights the nature and mode of distance education
in Uganda, opportunities, and the challenges
encountered by the universities in offering distance
education. In summary, the article suggests the ways
in which distance education can be improved, as
such, the article answers the fundamental question to
whether Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) innovations in distance education
can improve and sustain distance education in
Uganda.
