UR - Elearning Platform

This module taught in the programme of Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education, intends to equip Higher Learning Institutions teachers with practical skills in using ICT tools to design, create and manage a module in eLearning System. 

This module aims at equipping students with knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to learning, teaching, and assessment in the higher education context focusing on competence-based learning and assessment as well as learner-centered pedagogy. Some of the topics to be covered include higher education context and graduate profile, theories of learning, concepts, principles, and techniques of competence-based teaching, learning, and assessment.

This module has two complementary objectives: firstly, to enable learners to understand and critically analyze distance education’s modes, models and methods. Second, the module bridges minds-on and hands-on skills by enabling learners to design, create, and use effectively eLearning, eLearning resources and student support systems. It allows learners to design a class and to make better use of educational technology – whether fully online or in blended learning contexts.

This module aims to  introduce you to  theories in arts and language teaching; Methods and approaches to arts and language teaching/learning; Resources in language learning and teaching; storyboard development,  and assessment activities for Big 5 skills (Speaking, writing, reading, listening and viewing).

The main aim of this module is give to students some selected mathematical topics topics already discussed in the lectures Mathematics at undergraduate level that are shortly recapitulated and most importantly applied to practical problems. If necessary, new mathematical concepts and methods will be introduced in order to solve challenging and inspiring problems from practice. These selected topics will include Differential equations (both ordinary and partial and their numerical solutions), numerical linear algebra and Statistics. The learning process will focus on practice (Computer lab).

The module of Macroeconomics-I aims at developing students’ theoretical and analytical skills in fundamental macroeconomic principles that enable them to understand and analyse how the aggregate economy works and how government policies affect important macroeconomic variables such as national income, unemployment, inflation, and interest rates.

The module on Macroeconomics-I covers the following topics:

This is an introductory module in the first year of MBA. This module provides an overview of management process and its functions. It also introduces the leadership patterns, styles and approaches. With this module students shall be able to understand the meaning and concept of management in the contemporary business world, management process that encompassing planning, organising, staffing , leading and controlling. it attempts to make students learn the functions of management as related to human resource management, marketing management, operations management, financial management and information management. In the second part of the module delivery students are exposed to leadership and management contrast, traits of an effective leader, leadership styles besides exploring the management context and relevance in Rwanda and how the leadership profiles can be traced and pruned for the effective functioning of organisations in Rwanda.

The module aims at equipping students with understanding of the management of organizational performance. It examines aspects, tools, techniques and processes of control, organization and coordination of individuals and activities to ensure optimal performance.  The module deals with problematic areas that require the managers’ attention and suggests plausible remedies. In depth analysis of how organizational resources are used will be carried out and various performance measurements to motivate managers to implement strategies will be analyzed.

This course introduces to year one students the concepts of linear,bilinear  and multilinear algebra and their applications to analytic geometry

The module aims to describe advanced methods of solving partial Differential Equations (PDEs). It gives a thorough advanced form of representation formulas for solutions of PDEs. The important existence and uniqueness theorems are proved. The properties of solutions (e.g., regularity, dependence on data, etc ) are analysed.The module also describes the theory for Linear LPartial Differential Equations (LPDEs) and the theory for Nonlinear partial Differential Equations (NLPDEs)
