Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify the challenges being experienced in publishing and open learning with relation to new media in Africa, and to proffer the possible ways of overcoming the identified challenges. The relationship between publishing and open distance learning with specific focus on their media was investigated and delineated based on literature reviews. Based on its findings, the paper proposes that the level of internet access in Africa should be improved upon, and that it should be of paramount priority if the challenges of publishing and open learning in Africa with regards to online libraries are to be overcome.
