On Saturday 18th March 2023, The Most Rev. Dr. Jackson Ole Sapit - University Council Chairman, accompanied by the University Council, Board of Management, Senate, staff and student leaders commissioned the Virtual Campus, located on the third floor of the Postgraduate Center.
“I commission these Multimedia facilities in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.” With these words, The Most Rev. Dr. Jackson Ole Sapit commissioned the Virtual Campus. The ultra-modern facility hosts an e-compliant boardroom, a fully equipped multimedia center, remote teaching and learning center, post-production lab, and offices for the Directorate’s staff. These facilities complement the robust eLearning portals that make virtual learning a reality by enabling seamless delivery of lectures, dissemination of learning material, student assessment and real-time student-staff interactions. To improve learners’ experience and retention of content, the multimedia and remote learning centers are equipped with requisite equipment to enable faculty to convert teaching material from common PowerPoint presentations, Microsoft Word and Portable Document Format (PDF) documents, to an audio-visual format. In addition, the post-production lab is well equipped to facilitate editing of the material produced at the centers and deployment of the same on the university’s eLearning platforms. Commissioning was succeeded by a tour of the facility led by Mrs. Grace Kinyanjui, the Virtual Campus Director.
Other facilities commissioned include: new computer lab, generator and website. The day began on a high note with a brief fellowship led by the Vice Chancellor, Rev. Canon Prof. James Kombo; assisted by Rev. Samuel Githinji, the University Chaplain. Thereafter, Mr. Michael Mungai, the Deputy Corporate Affairs Manager led the entourage for a tour of the four facilities, coupled with unveiling of their respective plaques and commissioning.
