📢 The Quiz Fix – Practical Clinic for KWASU-Virtual Instructors

📅 Date: Sat, 05 Jul 2025
🕘 Time: 10:00am – 2:20pm
📍 Format: Hybrid (primarily online via KWASU-Virtual LMS)

🔍 Preamble

The Centre for Distance and E-Learning (CDeL) has observed an increasing number of requests from instructors for technical support on configuring and troubleshooting the quiz activity on KWASU-Virtual LMS.

This growing engagement reflects a strong commitment to the seven E-Learning Goals outlined in the KWASU E-Learning Policy and Strategy (2023–2025), which encourage staff to leverage digital tools to enhance teaching and learning.

In response, CDeL is launching a new support initiative – a practical “clinic” designed to address common issues with setting up and managing quizzes on KWASU-Virtual, especially as the 2024/2025 Rain Semester winds down (that is, before the Revision Week).

🎯 Clinic Aim

To equip instructors with practical knowledge and confidence to configure and troubleshoot quiz activities on KWASU-Virtual LMS.

👥 Target Participants

All KWASU teaching staff – whether or not you currently hold an Instructor profile on KWASU-Virtual.
