Over the years you may have heard many terms, including computer-assisted learning, e-learning, blended learning, and technology enabled learning, to name a few. The common denominator being learning. <\/em>Educational Technologies\/ Learning Technologies refers to the \u201cbroad range of communication, information, and related technologies that can be used to support learning, teaching and assessment.\u201d[1]<\/a> These also include the systems, networks and databases required to support the various forms of technology that are used by lecturers and students on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

In the Stellenbosch University context, the support and delivery of effective Learning Technology Systems requires the collaborative effort of a number of individuals who work across Faculties and Support services. We realise that as a lecturer, administrative officer or student, what you really want to know is who to contact when you need help, and what the help is that you may ask for.<\/p>\n
