This e-learning initiative at CHSS aims to integrate electronic learning practices at all levels for an improved educational experience. Faculty and students alike are encouraged to utilize e-learning tools effectively to enhance teaching and learning outcomes. The implementation strategy includes formalizing discussions on infrastructure, sharing best practices, and creating evidence-based support mechanisms. Professors Dewhurst and Hounsell play pivotal roles in promoting e-learning, while information dissemination is facilitated through various channels including committee meetings and e-learning sessions. The ultimate goal is to create a seamless support system for e-learning across the University, fostering awareness and understanding of the benefits and applications of e-learning among academic staff.
