1. The way to serve University Students & Alumni
GRADNET PORTAL
The way to serve University Students & Alumni
You do not sell cars without wheels, why sell education without books (eBooks)

2. MAKE THE SHIFT

3. BLENDED LEARNING + ON-CAMPUS FACE-TO-FACE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
+ ONLINE & TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED EDUCATION
= UNIVERSITY BLENDED T&L STRATEGY
In at least 90% of modules, there is some form of ONLINE ACTIVITY taking place,
MOSTLY COMMUNICATION (2016 staff & student surveys)
In truly blended learning modules, some form of independent online learning activity should take place,
not just loading assignments or extracting passive learning material placed online by a lecturer

4. BLENDED TEACHING
Intensive training in the optimal use of LMS (i.e. Blackboard) and how to get programmes online
Online assessments training and production assistance of audio and/or video
Training programme for transformation of curricula and T&L
Lecturers need to be familiar with LMS and eReader
