1. Institutional Background
![Page 5: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1.2 Modes of Study
Most of its programmes are implemented
in the following modes of study
o Full time
o Part time (evening, Weekend Intensive,
Holiday Based)
o ODeL - Distance Learning/ Digital
Campus
![Page 6: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1.3 Student Distribution
![Page 7: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2.1 Historical
Initial (2005 - 2010)
o Hard Copy (printed) Notes
o Tutorials (during the first week)
o Hard Copy Assignments
(Limited Student-Lecturer and Student-
Student but intensive Student-Material
interactions)
2. Open & Distance Learning
![Page 8: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Later (2011 – 2015)
o Hard copy materials
o Soft copy notes and assignments (sent by
email or yahoo groups)
o Yahoo groups for limited interaction
o KeMU eLearn, a customised version of an
open-source Learning Management System
(LMS) called Moodle but very limited
success
![Page 9: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2.2 Technological Adoption
KeMU adopted Canvas LMS in May 2016
Canvas software is designed to help
people create educational programs
online and includes features that help
control
o student administration,
o progress,
o delivery of educational materials and
o reporting
![Page 10: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Is a modern, simplified, open-source LMS
developed and maintained by Instructure
Inc,
o well-matured application
o very feature-rich
o a low overhead investment that does not
incur the university huge costs other than
staff salaries and the ICT infrastructure to
support the content.
Virtual learning era at KeMU

3. Challenges
![Page 12: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Materials
o Conversion of printed materials (most of
which were out of date) to soft format
o Availability of reviewed materials for some
courses
Infrastructure
o Inadequate internet bandwidth
o Connectivity outage
o Inadequate server capacity
• Speed & Memory
![Page 13: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Operational
o Lecturer loading/ compensation
o Inadequate training (for all)
o Slow uptake
o Staggered registration of units
o Late upload of materials and assignments
o Uncoordinated interaction (student-staff)
![Page 14: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Almost one-third of 9,600 student
population in KeMU on digital platform
KeMU customized Canvas to suit students
& staff user and institutional needs
The student diversity across world … 34
African countries….11 Non-African
countries (Helped in University Ranking)
Adopted blended learning (A week before
& a week after Exams)
4. Achievements
![Page 15: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Has been able to lower our teaching costs
and through lecturer loading (half loading
and closing down campuses)
KeMU doesn’t turn away students due to
class size numbers…. they go on Digital
platform
ODeL Policy addressed the structure,
processes and procedure issues
Focused ODeL support by management
Sorted out the School based mess
![Page 16: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
e-Supervision for master and phD
Integration with ERP (25m investment)
![Page 17: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Structure the ODeL directorate must be
right (Governance)
Address availability of material content to
be available on time (Incentives)
Provide adequate and structured training
for all service providers
Enhance network availability (Budget)
A phased approach would work better
(Planning)
5. Recommendations
![Page 18: APPROPRIATE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAMPUS … · Campus . 1.3 Student Distribution . 2.1 Historical Initial (2005 - 2010) ... open-source Learning Management System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051920/600db01786c82846cd4fcdb1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pilot a new software with a few
programmes to understand its needs in
terms of infrastructure, including
bandwidth requirements
Other processes (like examination
administration) are yet to be aligned with
the distance learning proposition, where a
student is not required to be physically
present
