Abstract:
Quality education and education innovation are key drivers reflected in the strategic plan of the University of Pretoria, South Africa. Following this thrust, the Department of Telematic Learning and Education Innovation (TLEI) takes the lead, facilitates and actively participates in actions aimed at education innovation, with a focus on establishing active and flexible learning environments in order to address the educational needs of lecturers and students (TLEI, 2004). The term ‘telematic’ is interpreted as flexible learning, enhanced by technology. This chapter uses a case study to highlight the academic staff training interventions at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.
