About the department

The Department for Education Innovation (formerly the Department of Telematic Learning and Education Innovation) was established at the University of Pretoria in 1997. It was born as the result of restructuring the then Bureau for Academic Support Services (which had primarily focused on supporting contact education) to encompass elements of flexible, technology-enhanced and student-centred learning approaches

Vision

To enable lecturers and students to “optimise student learning and success”.

Mission

In pursuit of our vision, we provide leadership in and support the implementation of innovative methodologies, teaching and learning technologies, and data-driven solutions to actively support our lecturers to prepare students for their future workplace or for further studies.
