KIU, Western Campus câ¬â?? Students pursuing their studies from
Kampala International University Western Campus have been availed with soft
copy notes for one month on the Universitycâ¬â?cs e-learning platform by their
respective Schools.
The resolution
was made in a Senior Management Meeting convened on Friday 20thMarch, to discuss the way forward following a Presidential directive closing
all institutions of learning due to the COVID-19 threat.
The resolution
has since been implemented by all schools as revealed by the Assistant Deputy
Vice-Chancellor for Academics and Research for KIU Western Campus, Dr Jonans
Tusiimire.
câ¬Å?All Schools are
fully and actively engaging students through all our e-learning platforms to
make sure learning is not severely interrupted,c⬠Dr Tusiimire said.
Dr Tusiimire
also advised the students to adhere to all the Ministry of Health safety
guidelines to avoid falling victim to Coronavirus.

Western campus confirmed that they had received notes on the classcâ¬â?c WhatsApp

received the notes on our WhatsApp group and I am grateful to the University
for taking this measure because now we can continue reading, even though we are
quarantined at home,c⬠said Ssebayigga, who is at his parentscâ¬â?c
home in Lyantonde district.
