SYSTEMS & POLICIES

BSU project introduced several systems to improve the teaching and learning environment and financial management. Three key systems were introduced:

  • Moodle Learning Management System (LMS): This became the primary teaching platform for SUZA.
  • Moodle Mobile Application: This enhances easy learning access for students, allowing them to access Moodle LMS through their mobile phones.
