Division e-Learning

Welcome to the Division e-Learning.  The university constantly strives to provide quality education to its students in order to adequately prepare them for a working environment. This process can involve the use of technology to accommodate changing learner needs.

E-learning is defined as the use of Internet technologies to create or deliver a learning experience to one or more learners. At the UFS e-learning includes online courses, learning objects, blended learning, (which combines online resources with face-to-face interactions), performance support, knowledge management, self-assessment, communities of practice (online educational communities) and other online resources that encourage learners to assess, improve, or change their knowledge or clinical performance.

The Division's website provides relevant sources for students, both on and off campus, as well as resources for lecturers involved in e-learning.
