Learning Sciences and Technology

Coursework

This is an innovative program that caters to current and prospective e-learning professionals, as well as students who seek to forge a research career in ICT-supported learning

The design and management of eLearning systems and programs is a complex task that requires specialist skills and well-founded understanding of how people and organisations learn, and how they can learn more effectively with the help of technology.
