3. E-TUTOR WEBINAR TRAINING
SETTING THE CONTEXT: WHY THE UPGRADE?
1. myUnisa – student academic portal to
access course content, e-tutor sites,
announcements, important resources,
interact with peers.
2. Old platform: dated, challenges with
capacity, performance and reliability
challenges, cannot adequately cater for
advances in teaching approaches and
tools such as gamification, alternative
assessments.
3. We needed a platform that is more
scalable, accommodating new
upgrades, reliable, integrate latest
teaching tools.
4. Mobile potential: launch of the
myModules app.

4. E-TUTOR WEBINAR TRAINING
SETTING THE CONTEXT: STUDENT TRAINING
• To prepare students with the skills needed to
navigate the portal, we will be hosting a
series of Student Training Webinars.
• These core skills will enable the student to
function as an effective digital learner in
Unisa’s online environment.
• To provide them with further support, we will
also be hosting a series of Student Blast
Sessions, where they can join an online
session and interact with experts that will
walk you through some of your challenges.

disabled.

questions relating to the scope for the QA session.

colleges on the chat (those present) or after the sessions
