eLearning Platforms

To support blended and distance learning, the University has been using Learning Management System (LMS) for eLearning since 2000. Now we are using Moodle as our LMS.

The Moodle LMS is setup as follows

1. Integrate with our Student Information Systems (e-SIS) so that courses will be automatically created according to the e-SIS.
2. Front-line support and training are provided by the Centre for Learning, Teaching and Technology (LTTC (EdUHK website, opens in new tab)).
