    The role of e-tutors in promoting e-learning using Web 2.0 technologies
    (African Cyber Citizenship Conference 2014, 2014-11) Abdullah, H; Mtsweni, Jabu S
    The University of South Africa (UNISA) is South Africa’s largest Open Distance Learning (ODL) institution and the leading provider of higher education opportunities within the ODL sphere. UNISA’s high student enrolment figures and its strict adherence to its ODL policy requires heightened efforts in student support. One mode of providing student support and increasing the throughput rate, is through the new e-tutoring model that was implemented in 2013. This e-tutoring model is provided via the Learner Management System (LMS), myUNISA. UNISA currently has the capability to provide fully online programmes through its LMS, myUnisa. The role of Web 2.0 technologies in particular fosters a new construct to enhance the learning experience of students. This paper explores the concept of interactive learning by focussing on the use of Web 2.0 technologies by e-tutors in undergraduate modules to enhance the teaching and learning process.
