LASU Launches Re-Engineered E-Learning Portal for GNS Courses 2024

LASU Launches Re-Engineered E-Learning Portal for GNS Courses 2024. In a bid to improve the learning experience of our students and to overcome the challenge of securing appropriate teaching-learning space to cater for its large number of students during the GNS teaching belt, and to continue the hybrid teaching narrative, the Centre for General Nigerian Studies (CGNS) has partnered with the Directorate of Information and Communication Technology (DICT) to commission an enhanced e-Learning platform for the teaching and learning of all GNS courses at the University.
