DONATION OF NEW PCs AND PROJECTORS TO CIU

Recently, Mr. and Mrs Chuck Gordon of Russellville, Arkansas made a generous donation to CIU. The donation included 20 computers, 7 laptops, 8 projectors, 1 high-end server, a server rack press, and a CCTV system.

This generous gift will allow CIU to upgrade its ICT facilities, providing students with access to the latest technology and resources. The donation will have a lasting impact on the students and department at CIU, and we are deeply grateful to the Gordons for their continued support.

The upgraded ICT facilities will enhance the educational experience at CIU, providing students with the tools they need to succeed in today’s digital world. The addition of the high-end server and server rack press will ensure that CIU has the necessary backup and storage capacity to support its growing needs.

Mr. & Mrs Godorn’s is testament to their committment to enhancing education opportunities for health professional students at CIU and in Uganda. We are grateful for their generosity and support, and we look forward to working with them to continue improving the educational experience at CIU.

Strategic partners and friends of CIU remain crucial in enhancing our capacity to deliver accessible and quality educational experiences for all students. During Covid-19, approved emergency Open Distance and eLearning (ODeL) strategies bolstered the university’s capacity to foster continuity of learning during lock-down. With enhanced ICT infrastructure, the university will strive to ensure that ODeL remains an integral part of innovative strategies for structuring and delivering learning and teaching with the required rigor, coherence, and effective faculty and student engagement.

In a recently concluded 4th Annual Higher Education Conference, under the theme “Enhancement of teaching, learning, and assessment with ODeL in higher education” the majority of stakeholders agreed that distance education globally will remain an arena of innovation in higher education, and an incubator for conceptual and technological advances capable of strengthening teaching and learning in the country and at CIU. In her remarks at the conference, the Education and Sports Minister, Janet Kataaha Museveni said that “Through the Education and Sport Sector Strategic Plan 20212024/25, the ministry intends to strengthen ODEL by having it mainstreamed in all institutions of higher learning as well as the strategies that will ensure increased access to higher education

As noted, CIU recognises that education is rapidly changing and that eLearning will reshape teaching and learning in markets that are increasingly digitally driven. Preparing graduates that are market ready remains at the heart of what we do routinely.

Thank you to our sponsors for supporting these efforts.
