This article contains information on how to gain access to the University of Nairobi (UoN) eLearning Portal also known as E-Learning Management System (LMS).
The University of Nairobi (UoN) seeks to improve learning processes for its student. Therefore, it is pleased to announce the adoption of a Learning Management System (LMS), that would make it easy for students to attend classes online, get lecture notes and submit assignments anywhere and anytime.
The open, distance and e-learning function of the University was revamped and relaunched in 2017. Its role was expanded and strengthened through Statute XXXVI, hence anchoring it by a structure that gave it the mandate to sensitize and create awareness in all programmes of the university, build capacity in courseware development and production, facilitate programme delivery and learner support and carry out research and evaluation of ODeL programmes and services. As a result of implementing this initiative, teaching staff have been trained to write study materials which have been converted and uploaded onto the University LMS and they have also produced videos of their lectures which are available in the LMS. During this period of crisis, students enrolled in ODeL programmes have continued learning every day through the use of multi-media approach. It is expected that those students will sit for their exams as scheduled and continue with the subsequent semesters. Open, distance and e-learning allows learning and teaching to continue even difficult and special circumstances that conventional classroom-based learning cannot allow. Over 10,000 students spread in over 25 programmes in the University have been going on with learning supported by over 400 tutors spread across the country,
The University has responded to the current crisis by tapping into its existing investment in ODeL. Immediately the closure took effect, the University embarked on a programme to train its staff and students to enable them to move their teaching and learning to online platforms.
