Campus Partnership

CIT has launched the Campus Partnership Programme. This programme is a concerted effort at building a closer working relationship between CIT and faculty staff. It consists of a range of symbiotic initiatives, schemes and activities.

The Campus Partnership Programme aims to:

  • Facilitate two-way communication between faculty staff and CIT

  • Foster an eLearning community of practice

  • Encourage the adoption of info-communication technologies in teaching and learning

  • Promote proper pedagogical practice in using IT tools for teaching

  • Liaise with Faculties and Schools to cater for specific needs

To those ends, CIT will form an IVLE Faculty Advisory Group. This group will set the direction and review goals for IVLE and other eLearning concerns in NUS. The members of this group will be announced in due course.

CIT will step up its current yearly roadshows. CIT staff will make continual visits to Faculties and Schools to promote the use of IT in teaching and learning. These visits will also allow academics to give direct feedback and suggest improvements. Faculty staff can also share with us how they are using technology in their classrooms.

New academic staff will be furnished with a welcome package detailing the numerous services which CIT provides.

CIT will also provide feedback and statistics on IVLE and its other services so that faculty staff are aware of what is popular with students. They take these into account when planning for future lessons.

We will enhance the feedback and support mechanism for IVLE through the creation of a knowledge database and a support tracking system. This will enable a higher level of accountability and transparency in customer service.

In conjunction with the Campus Partnership Programme, CIT will work closely with the Faculty IT Units coordinators and managers to add value to the e-learning support they provide to their Faculty. Our courseware team has appointed three Faculty support staff who will work closely with the Faculty IT Units in ensuing the success of the Campus Partnership Programme.
