Unisa's online portal system taken offline due to glitches
The University of South Africa (Unisa) has announced that the new learning management myModule system has been taken offline due to glitches.
Spokesperson for the institution Victor Dlamini says the new system was meant to resolve challenges it had with its old system.
“While the new system was stressed tested to afford the University confidence in its optimal performance, we are now faced with challenges associated with new system implementations.
“The frustrations felt by students and academics, due to the unstable system performance, are well understood and recognised.”
Due to the glitches seen throughout the semester, Dlamini says the institution will extend all due dates for the first semester.
“The due dates for all Semester 1 assignments will be extended, in a staggered manner, to ensure that the academic assessment strategy is implemented as intended.
“We acknowledged (an array of issues including) that students may not have had access to their study material leading up to their assignment submission; Some students do not have access to their module sites due to late registration,” adds Dlamini.
