The study investigates the challenges these learners face in accessing educational resources and how digital learning platforms can be enhanced to improve their academic outcomes. The study employs an exploratory research design. As quantitative research, data was collected using quantitative survey questionnaires completed by incarcerated students from three UNISA hubs: Kgosi Mampuru (2 hubs) and Brandvlei (1 hub) correctional centres. The results were analysed using MS Excel formulas and presented using tables and figures. The findings reveal significant barriers to effective e-learning, such as restrictive Internet usage policies, limited Internet access, high data costs, inadequate technical support, restrictions on digital infrastructure within correctional facilities, limited staff oversight on incarcerated students, low interaction with the UNISA library, and restricted communication with lecturers and students who are outside the correctional centre. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis ondersoek die implementering en impak van e-leer in Suid-Afrikaanse korrektiewe sentrums, en fokus op die ervarings van studente wat in die gevangenis is wat ingeskryf is vir afstandsonderrigprogramme deur die Universiteit van Suid-Afrika (UNISA). Die studie ondersoek die uitdagings waarmee hierdie leerders te kampe het met toegang tot opvoedkundige hulpbronne, en hoe digitale leerplatforms verbeter kan word om hul akademiese uitkomste te verbeter. Die astudie maak gebruik van verkennende navorsingsontwerp. As kwantitatiewe navorsing is data ingesamel deur gebruik te maak van kwantitatiewe opnamevraelyste oor studente wat opgesluit is van drie UNISA-spilpunte: Kgosi Mampuru (2 spilpunte) en Brandvlei (1 spilpunt) korrektiewe sentrums. Die resultate is met behulp van MSExcel-formules ontleed en met behulp van tabelle en figure aangebied. Die bevindinge onthul beduidende struikelblokke vir effektiewe e-leer, soos beperkende Internetgebruikbeleide, beperkte Internettoegang, hoe datakoste, onvoldoende tegniese ondersteuning, beperkings op digitale infrastruktuur binne korrektiewe fasiliteite, personeeltoesig oor studente wat opgesluit is, min interaksie met die UNISA-biblioteek, en beperkte kommunikasie met dosente enstudente wat buite die korrektiewe sentrum is.
