Management of the Lagos State University, LASU has disclosed that there are plans in the pipeline to activate Online study to ensure that students of the institution Learn despite the lockdown order.
This was disclosed by the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun (SAN) adding that the move is aimed at observing the social distance measure that was announced by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC.
Fagbohun, who made this known in an interview in Lagos, said that the platforms would include whatsapp, drop box, static pages on the varsity’s website, Google classroom and free conferences, among others.
“Recently, LASU management had a meeting online with all deans of faculties, Provost of the College of Medicine and the Dean, Post-Graduate School to agree on the modality for online lectures for our students.
“We agreed that the final year students should be assigned their project work so that their supervisors can engage them while they are at home.
“We also have a LASU assignment portal designed by LASU Computer Science Department for students and a Whatsapp platform to conduct tutorials for all the lecturers who will be engaged in the online teaching.
“Tomorrow (April 10), we are having another meeting with all faculties on how far they have gone with the online lectures,” he said.
Fagbohun said that the idea was to continually engage Students of the institution and keep them learning until the school reopen.
