Learning Resources is donating R50 million in e-learning course content a year to CIDA City Campus over the next four years.
CIDA, based in the Johannesburg CBD, is SA`s first virtually free higher education institution.
Learning Resources is donating the full range of NETg and Harvard Business School Publishing e-learning courseware to CIDA over a four-year period, to coincide with CIDA`s four-year degree cycle. The donation includes support services.
Thomson Learning (NETg) is a provider of technical and end-user skills courseware, with Comptia accreditation for the content. The suite of products offered to CIDA includes over 1 000 titles in back-office technical and end-user/desktop Microsoft skills as well as business and professional skills training.
The Harvard Business School courseware range includes training in leadership, business, strategy and management skills.
This content is highly applicable to CIDA`s focus on equipping students with business, technological and entrepreneurial skills, says Learning Resources. The courseware will be fully integrated into the CIDA Bachelor of Business Administration curriculum, with more technical or specialised components integrated into the appropriate CIDA schools of excellence, including the areas of information technology or management.
Aspects of the courseware will also be incorporated into the CIDA staff development programme. All course content is expected to be up and running by July.
