Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology has also been forced to scale up its online learning model. Before the pandemic, the university had 7,000 students on their e-learning platform. In the past three months, Vice-Chancellor Stephen Agong said, the university has brought about 10,000 students onto their e-learning platform. “The Covid-19 pandemic has presented us with the challenge to expand our virtual campus and extend our services to over 20,000 campus-based students,” said Communications Director Owen Mc’Onyango. Pointing out that the university will continue having face-to-face learning, Dr Mc’Onyango said students will have the liberty to attend classes on the virtual platform after the Covid-19 pandemic.
