The EduTech Division plays a role in advising faculty and staff on the inclusion of e-learning in courses and programmes. Staff are advised on and supported in the delivery of online and mixed-mode programmes. At the postgraduate level, we are involved in programmes from departments and units such as Paediatrics, Family Medicine, Disability Studies and the Desmond Tutu HIV Centre. At the undergraduate level, we advise and support courses in all MBChB disciplines and the Department of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.
The division thus provides technology support to staff and students in the faculty. This includes the use of Amathuba, lecture recording, offering staff training workshops and teaching Digital Literacy to all first-year students. An additional goal is adhering to UCT SOPs and policies to offer a high-standard model of support in line with current UCT policies and other documents.
The goal of EduTech is to support the teaching of staff and learning of students in the Faculty of Health Sciences in pursuit of UCT's vision of being an outstanding teaching and research university, educating for life and addressing the challenges facing our society.
