CONCEPTS
Project Description
Redesign and develop local
content.
Promote active participation in the
classroom.
Enhance students’ experiences
with technology
Make teaching interactive, learning
pleasurable.
A research and training
project for National
Development.
Funded by; JCPC, HP
and STEPB to start with.
An evolving model for e-
learning.

Nigeria.
Development Model
Local content
Research
TrainingDevelopment
MTH 103: OLI Calculus provides complementary material and self assessment.
Over 5000 students and six lecturers impacted
Presentations expose the public to the partnership with Carnegie, HP, and STEPB.
Heavily subscribed compulsory first year courses
More than 1500 students per class.
Class size prevents staff-student interaction.
Poor performance as
lack of affordable text.
Lessons from the literature and experience-
more about pedagogy, less about technology.
Phase I -- Static
Training Abroad
LMS training at UniJos
Lecture notes uploaded
Students printed
hardcopies
Phase II -- Interactive
Integrated UP &
Camtasia
Interactive assessment
Online
training/Community of
Practice (Listserv)
Membership of the
worldwide community
of “HP Technology for
Teaching” (TfT) grant
recipients.
Opportunity to tap the
resources and
experience of this HP
community.

Course redesign for MTH101 and CS101
Work with the Dean FNS to extend this experiment to all departments in the faculty.
Work with other faculties to replicate across the University of Jos.
Work with other partners to replicate in other HEIs across Nigeria.
Stimulate STEM education in Nigeria.
Course redesign and
local content for MTH
101, MTH103 and
CS101.
Comprehensive
impact assessment.
63 more tablet PCs
for faculty interactive
laboratory.
All in 12 months.
Next 12 months.
Replicate in every
department in the
FNS at UJ.
Scale cycle 1 to
include Polytechnics,
Colleges of
Education, Secondary
Schools and other
Universities.
2 Unexpected Outputs-Enriching the Teaching and Learning Experience Through the use of Technology
A university wide e-
learning fellowship
sponsored by the
JCPC and PHEA.
JCPC DI for more
local content creation
mentored by e-
fellows.
Lifelong learning for
all.
A Tradition of Partnerships
Partnering with Carnegie Corporation,
Hewlett Packard and STEPB to Improve
Students' Performance in Mathematics and
The Sciences Using Technology.
Measuring the Impact of Integrating
Technologies for Teaching and Learning in a
Nigerian University
Support under the
leadership of the VC.
Faculty Support from
the Dean.
Departmental Support
from the Head.
We are already
enjoying all of it and
we trust it will be
always there!
“The Maths story is an exceptional one. You
started with modest JCPC funding -
US$45,000! Now you have US$436,000 in
grants from HP and StepB combined!!!!
Wow! This story will help others envision
what they can do if they start modestly. It's
inspirational! I've told the story a few times
and I see how eyes light up wondering how
they can get onboard.”
Expressions of interest to Partner
Geography and Planning, Geology and
Mining, Pharmaceutical Chemistry-UJ
University of Ilorin, BUK, University of
agriculture, Makurdi, FUT Minna and ATBU
Federal College of Education, Pankshin
Anticipating these Exps of Interest
We introduced an evolving model for e-
learning in Nigerian HEIs.
A 25 week proposal to train and mentor
teams in the Nigerian education space.
We are working on a proposal for a STEM
Centre of Innovation in Technology for
Teaching.
In Perspective- Preparing Nigerian students for better
communication with the Global Academic Community.
