The terms computer assisted learning (CAL) and computer based
education (CBE) encompass computer assisted or aided instruction
(CAI), computer managed or management of learning, and other uses
of computers in direct support of teaching and learning. The term
'faculties' includes non-academic areas where training of staff
or students is part of the unit's function, except where
denoted.
Teaching faculties will consult with the Teaching and Learning Support Services
Department (TALSS) of the Division of Technology, Information and Learning Support
with regard to applications of computer technology which are in direct support
of teaching, learning and management of the educational progress of its students. Non-academic areas of the University are encouraged to contemplate
the use of computer technology for training needs, and will consult TALSS in
this regard.
Teaching faculties will consult TALSS before purchasing
off-the-shelf courseware, whether for student use or staff
training, so that advice on effectiveness, delivery and
management aspects of use of the courseware may be obtained.
Similarly, non-faculty areas will consult TALSS before purchasing
computer-based training packages, for identical reasons.
Faculties must consult with TALSS before purchasing authoring
languages or systems or other software intended for production,
management or delivery of CAL materials, or management of
learning activities or student progression.
Faculties must also consult TALSS before purchasing computers
or workstations which will deliver CAL materials produced or
delivered by TALSS.
