Changing the Learning
Culture: Migrating to the
electronic learning environment
calls for a change in the attitude
of learners. The learners need to
be trained in handling of the new
media.
 Training of Teachers: Teachersneedtoupgradetheirskillsindeveloping
anddeliveringthecoursecontentthroughnetworks.
 Courseware/ software Development: Webbasedlearningdoesnotreferto
justputtingthelearningmaterialonthenetwork.
 Equal Access to Technology: Itmustbeassuredthatlearnershaveequal

 We believe that university, apart from knowledge, must prepare students for the real world;
weknow our students use the technology in their free time (Internet, electronic mail, social
networks,chats,messenger…),andwewantthemtouseitintheiracademiclivesas well.
