The Kaduna State University, KASU, on Monday launched a state-of-the-art E-learning platform, while restating the institution’s commitment to ensuring a conducive learning atmosphere.
Speaking to newsmen at the sideline of the event, the Vice-Chancellor of KASU, Prof Abdullahi Musa, said the institution has in the last one year undertaken a participatory approach which made them come up with comprehensive strategic planning documents.
He added that one top agenda of the strategic planning was to come up with an information communication technology that would prove efficiency and effectiveness for their engagements in KASU.
Mr Musa, therefore, said the E-learning platform would enable KASU students access, and staff to deliver lectures wherever they are.
“The students can access lectures wherever they are regardless of time and space. For the lecturers that means they will adopt active learning rather than passive.
“It will improve the way our lectures teach and our students access lectures which will thereby post KASU amongst the top Universities globally. Adoption of the E-learning is non negotiable for us in Kaduna state,“ he said.
Also, Prof. Helen Andow, KASU’s Deputy V-C, Innovation, Strategy and Service Delivery, restated the dynamism in the 21st century.
She said that in order to meet up with the global trends, the institution could not do without E-learning.
Mrs Andow said that the E-learning platforms would enable students to recollect materials which were taught in their absence, and lecturers who would be absent could upload the materials for students to access.
She said that the E-learning platforms would ensure feasibility and enable the lecturers and students be able to compete favourably with other global counterparts.
