UEW Logically Bringing 2019 /2020 Second Semester To An End on Using MOODLE

Please, we bring to your attention, reviewed Academic Calendar for the 2019/2020 second semester which was approved by the Executive Committee at its sitting on April 17th, 2020. The new Calendar is in respect of the migration of all lectures to the online Moodle mode.

We urge Lecturers and students to support the new arrangements so that we can, together, bring the semester to a logical conclusion.

A) Schedule of Online Academic Activities

  • 14th – 20th April: Mop-up of outstanding courses that could not justifiably migrate to UEW Moodle

  • 27th – 31stJuly: Supplementary Examinations (Online)

Management, through ULMEC, has established that contact hours for online lectures tend to reduce by at least 40% compared to regular face-to-face. Management has, therefore, decided to extend the duration of the 2019/2020 second semester for six more weeks to ensure that online contact hours for teaching and learning are increased in order to exhaust course contents for the second semester of the 2019/2020 academic year.

Thank you.
