UNILORIN Students To Start Receiving Lectures Via iPad

Newly admitted students of the University of Ilorin have expressed happiness over the prospect of owning an I-Pad following the recent announcement to that effect by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali.

Some of the new students, who spoke with Unilorin Bulletin last Friday (October 11, 2013), lauded the University administration for the initiative, noting that the PC tablets would go a long way in facilitating their academic pursuits in the University.

Some of the students were also glad that the University did not join the on-going industrial action embarked upon by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

One of the students, Shittu Alexander of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, said, "The e-learning system is good because you don't have to carry note books and textbooks about when you can just get what you want on the I-Pad. Everybody is talking about it; it is on the Unilorin FM and the Unilorin Bulletin. Everybody is yearning to see it and I think it is a good idea.

On her part, Vivian Temidayo Moses of the Department of Zoology said, "I feel happy and fulfilled because I had really wanted to attend the University of Ilorin because I hear of the standards and its stable academic calendar. The online registration was quite easy but I was not able to get accommodation. It is nice that the University is introducing the I-Pad for fresh students because when I first heard the news from a friend, I had taken it as a rumour but there is no problem, I am very IT compliant. My aim is to become one of the best students in my class."
