How do I start learning?

To access the online training, you need visit our Zetech Digital School (ZDS) learning portal.You can also download the Moodle mobile app from Google Playstore.

Below is a procedure to guide you:

1. It starts with registration of a course and payment of the relevant fees which is done online through the student’s portal.
2. Once a student has registered, an account is created for them which will be reflected on our Learning Management System (LMS); additionally, an account to access the student’s portal is created for them by the IT department. Student use these accounts to access the portal to access and undertake all academic activities.NB: Students can check the status of their accounts by clicking on the student portal on the e-learning portal or the University website.
3. Upon creation of the accounts, the student will thereafter register for the semester’s units by clicking on Unit Registration on the Students’ Portal, filling the units and clicking on Submit.  NB: Students can check the status of unit registration by logging into their student portal.

6. To facilitate ease of use, a training and orientation for new students on how to use the e-learning portal is conducted. For this period, orientation and training is done online. Additional support is provided through the Heads of Department for assistance at any time during working hours, via email and mobile phone.
7. Once all students have been oriented and trained on how to use the portal, learning begins under the facilitation of lecturers for respective units. The interaction between the lecturers and their students is done via avenues including: videos, audio materials messaging, forums, frequent chats, discussions, peer reviews, etc.
8. Continuous assignment (CATs) and online exams are done online. The lecturers upload CATs and assignments and the students are expected to provide responses on the portal. For online continuous assessments tests No physical submission on hard copy or soft copy is accepted unless on extraordinary circumstances.
9. In specified periods and as per shared timetables, examinations will run on the ZDS platform and a student can do his/her exams using a computer or a Smartphone. In order to orient oneself with onlineexaminations ahead of upcoming examinations, students are encouraged to attempt the general paper labeled Sample exam 2020 under “my courses” on your ZDS portal.
