{{A Kenya based Maseno University has introduced an online common course for it\u2019s over 10,000 students.<\/p>\n
The course, HIV\/Aids Determinant Prevention and Management, is intended to instil life\u2019s skill to the students who interact freely online rather than in class based lectures.}}<\/p>\n
In a speech read by the institution’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor Academic Affairs, Prof Charles Nyabundi on behalf of the Vice Chancellor Prof Dominic Makawiti, the course has kicked off with 232 students.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first batch of students exposed to the programme has proved more fruitful if studied online than face-to-face, hence the entire university will do the course,\u201d Nyabundi said.<\/p>\n
He said more courses done by face-to-face based lectures will be converted into online classes as a way of using technology to transform learning experiences.<\/p>\n
Maseno University has so far enrolled 468 students for the e-learning programme which is internet based. The e-learning campus began with 124 students, two years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe inception of Maseno University e-Campus in September 2011 saw a new dawn in home grown online education in Kenya. We are proud to have been the pioneer institution in Kenya to establish an e-campus,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
