Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam today transitioned to online classes, a direct response to a Government of Sindh directive aimed at conserving energy amid a prevailing national situation. The initiative, implemented on the instructions of Vice Chancellor Engr. Prof Dr Altaf Ali Siyal, is designed to ensure uninterrupted academic activities while contributing to the country”s energy-saving measures.
To facilitate the shift, the university”s Information Technology Centre has deployed a modern Learning Management System (LMS) through its University Management System (UMS). This digital platform allows students to attend lectures remotely, monitor their attendance, submit assignments, and access course materials and other important academic updates.
According to an official communiqué from a university spokesperson, the new digital framework is anticipated to significantly bolster academic management and functions as an effective alternative to on-campus learning under the current circumstances.
To ensure proficient use of the technology, comprehensive training and orientation programmes were organised for academic staff. Vice Chancellor Dr Altaf Ali Siyal attended the sessions, where he stressed the importance of adopting modern technology in education and urged both faculty and students to make full use of the online system for continued academic engagement.
The university spokesperson has advised all students to actively participate in the online classes to maintain the continuity of their studies and to leverage the available digital resources.
