MU has recently approved its Institutional e-learning strategy under the digital-campus program deployment. The new UM e-learning strategy aims to embed e-Learning as a key element of the teaching and learning culture of the Mekelle University, enhance the student learning experience and to provide a richly interactive and stimulating environment to students, teachers and university staff.

The following objectives will be pursued:

• Implementing a Learning Platform  for all departments: this provides a single point of access for both staff and students to a wide range of on-line tools and applications
• Enabling academic staff to take the lead in embedding e-learning in the teaching, learning and assessment.
• Putting in place appropriate and sustainable infrastructure and support both centrally and within faculties and departments.
• Providing high quality, appropriate e-Learning tools and resources.
• Ensuring e-learning is accessible to all students whatever their individual situation is.
• Facilitating flexible and distributed learning.
• Supporting generic research with e-tools as well as developing research into e-learning.
• Encouraging national and international co-operation in e-learning.
• Assuring the quality of e-learning provision and its impact on students’ teaching, learning and assessment experience.
