Abstract
A comparison of face-to-face and online teaching and learning has been undertaken to
ascertain the focal point that would justify the best-preferred option as far as teaching
and learning in DE is concerned. This study is particularly important because as higher
education institutions are faced with the challenge of huge number of prospective
students seeking higher education in the midst of inadequate infrastructures, it becomes
very necessary to look at DE as an option with a combination of different modes of
delivering instruction. At the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), some
faculties and departments, especially the distance education department, have adopted
the face-to-face and online modes of delivering instruction. The pursuit of which would
require a critical overview of the two modes to ascertain the strengths, weaknesses and
how the two can complement each other for effective delivery of instruction to cater to a
large number of students. The review suggested that academics or lecturers should
endeavour to adopt the blended or hybrid mode in their teaching and learning. Policy
decision makers can also use this study as it provides information on better practices as
far as the blended mode of teaching and learning in higher education institutions is
concerned.
