III.    CENTRE FOR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

        The CED's role covers two major areas: (1) services in educational
        media, materials, equipment and facilities; and (2) development of
        teaching and learning through training and research, and assistance
        with curricular development.   CED is structured into the following
        three sections:

1.      University teachers have access to the Teaching Development Section
        for a variety of in-service programmes.  The induction programme
        caters to the needs of new teachers, the teaching/mentoring
        development camps offer opportunities for reflection and
        advancement, and the practice of higher education seminars and
        other workshops provide occasions throughout the academic year
        for interactions on teaching improvement.  Consultations are
        available to design action learning projects, teaching development
        grant proposals, research on teaching and learning, as well as
        classroom studies.  In the area of learning support, the CED
        participates in the University Life (U.L. 1111-2) skills
        workshops as well as providing support in the mentoring programme.

2.      The Academic Media Production Section has substantial equipment
        and facilities.  These include a television production studio,
        an audio recording studio, and a multimedia development facility.
        The Section is responsible for providing professional services
        primarily to University teachers and their academic departments
        as the means of applying sophisticated educational technology for
        the enhancement of classroom instruction.

3.      The Teaching Support Section is responsible for equipping and
        servicing some fifty classrooms and lecture theatres designated
        for University teaching purposes.  It has available for loan a
        variety of audio and visual equipment in support of instruction.
        These include cassette recorders, photographic equipment, public
        address systems, tape duplication and editing facilities, overhead
        projectors, video and data LCD projectors, and close-circuit
        television systems.  There are also self-service teaching aids
        production stations and individual viewing booths.
