Makerere University To Introduce e-Learning

They say that one can never stop learning, and the internet is making this possible. Education is going to be done from where ever we are, and at whatever time is convenient, thanks to e-learning. Reports from our sources have confirmed that Uganda’s top University, Makerere, will be introducing this type of forum in the country.

“The new approach will help improve research since many students will access all kinds of information using different gadgets. With e-learning, students can also study away from campus, which will increase enrollment without congesting the campus,”  said the University director for quality assurance, Dr, Vincent Ssembatya.

HOW E-LEARNING WORKS

Using e-learning, application, enrollment and even registration will be done on the internet. Students will not have to move to the University every now and then. There is also a library, through which various students can access reading materials and tutorials. The students will be able to access all of this using gadgets such as phones, tablets and computers. The policy for this introduction is in line with those of the ministry of ICT and NITA(National Information Technology)

The director of the ICT ministry mentioned that Makerere University will not go anywhere with the absence of e-learning. The techniques must thus be embraced.

E-learning will help to the University to enroll more students, but at the same time maintain a reasonable number on campus. It will also allow for improved engagement of international students, and research. Do you think e-learning is  a great initiative for Makerere to take up?
