THE UNIVERSITY OF WITWATERSRAND
DR STANLEY MPOFU
TITLE : CIO
Mpofu said concerning this : “ Our university has always been progressive . In 2018 , I presented a digital proposal for smart classrooms at Wits university . It was approved at the beginning of 2018 and by 2019 , we had implemented three smart classrooms in the west campus , east campus , and the management school . Which meant that online courses had already been introduced .”
With this strategy already in place to support students who struggled to get to campus for various reasons , Wits were prepared for the unexpected transition to remote learning : “ We were the first university in South Africa , if not Africa , that was able to continue with lessons as if nothing had changed ,” explained Mpofu .
