Since the University of Rwanda has embarked on the move to adopt the blended learning mode in teaching, learning and assessment approach, there has been seamless effort in order to upload modules on the UR eLearning platform. However, it was observed that there is a need to improve their quality by adopting a common blended learning module template where they meet the quality assurance standards for Open and Distance eLearning ( ODeL).
It is against this backdrop that the University of Rwanda has organized, at all Campuses, a series of Training Workshops for all its academic staff on Accelerated Uploading of Modules on UR eLearning Platform.
This module was designed to offer guides to all required elements in a given module.
