The PG Diploma is designed to equip child health clinicians to function more effectively at the intersection between child health and clinical care.
Dear colleagues,
Given the challenging academic timetable for the remainder of 2016, a number of departments may be considering using blended learning (a mixture of online and face-to-face approaches) to complete the teaching programme.
CILT has created a support and resource guide for UCT lecturers for online teaching, which you can read here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/17gQ1c1jjiau0DSbZyLD842jc8VpogT9D_QwKotv8gt8/
This may also be of interest to tutors and other staff involved in supporting the teaching and learning process.
CILT has also set up a daily hotseat next week for walk-in advice for educators with any questions about online learning approaches and tools (tutors are also welcome). The hotseat will be:
UCSLC Teaching Lab (Level 4, Steve Biko Building): 12pm - 2pm, Mon 17 - Fri 21 Oct.
These sessions will focus on teaching and learning strategies for online teaching (including assessment) and technical help for Vula, Adobe Connect, and recording lectures. We are also happy to arrange sessions on other UCT campuses on request (depending on demand and venue availability).
The Vula helpdesk can be reached at help@vula.uct.ac.za, or 021 650 5500.

Please take note of the following Campus safety precautions:
- All staff and students to wear shoes that are closed and have suitable tread on the soles to prevent slipping and falling.
- All staff and students who do have a medical aid to carry their cards with them at all times in the case of an accident/emergency.
- All staff/students making use of stairs to ensure they hold on to the handrails if available. If no handrail is present, to ascend/descend stairs carefully and walk close to a supporting wall.
- No member of staff/student is to walk up or down an embankment as these areas are slippery when wet and could cause people to slip and fall resulting in injury.
Thank you.
