CLTE continues roadshows of its learning support activities

Posted On: August 12, 2019

As part of its ongoing awareness sessions for students and staff members of the Fiji National University (FNU), the Centre for Learning & Teaching Enhancement (CLTE) continued its roadshow at the Namaka Campus, Nadi on the 9th of August 2019. Facilitated by the Associate Dean Learning & Teaching Enhancement, Dr. Deepak Prasad and supported by the Faculty Development Coordinator, Mr. Tomasi Cabebula, the roadshow presentations focused on CLTE’s wide range of learning support services. The Namaka session was a 2-hour presentation to 22 teaching staff of the College of Business, Hospitality & Tourism Studies (CBHTS) which focused on the following learning support services:

  • Course Experience Survey (CES) – to assist students in improving their learning experience at FNU.
  • Early Alert & Response System (EARS) – an online diagnostic and early intervention tool for teachers to refer students for additional assistance.
  • English Language Hub (ELH) – to assist students in becoming confident and capable writers and speakers.
  • First Year Experience (FYE) – an information app for new students to FNU.
  • Math Help Hub (MH2) – to provide students with Mathematics and statistical support and advice.
  • Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) – structured study sessions facilitated by PAL leaders.
  • Succeed@FNU – a free online course for students for a smooth transition into FNU.
  • Open Education Resources (OER)- freely accessible, openly licensed text, media, and other digital assets that are useful for teaching, learning, and assessing as well as for research purposes.

Teaching Staff were encouraged to make use of these services and to inform CLTE about any teething issues they may face in order to enhance the services provided. Earlier, the same roadshow was held at the Nasinu Campus, that was attended by 16 Suva teaching staff from CBHTS. Similar roadshows will be held for the other FNU campuses in the upcoming weeks.
