Like Kampala International University, Kyambogo University has resolved to start teaching online.
The acting university vice chancellor, Prof Eli Katunguka, last week reported that the university was ready following completion of relevant infrastructure. His revelation came during a training session for teaching staff on the usage of the e-learning course design last week.
Katunguka said e-learning would help compensate for scarcities of academic staff, including instructors or teachers as well as facilitators and lab technicians.
“The approach and vision outlined in our strategy is to develop online content and have some courses run totally online,” Katunguka said. “We want to move towards a 21st century learning experience, where we blend traditional methods with modern methods of teaching. Our teaching should be student-centered, not teacher-centered.”
