On 17 September 1999, the

of all educational stakeholders, for
collaboration among faculty members and
learners in terms of passing on contents
as well as learning experiences to
learners emphasizing the notions of

In 2009,
based on the University’s policy,
the “Electronic Learning
Center” is renamed as
“General Education and Electronic
Learning Center” which is under
the administration of the Academic
Resource and Information Technology. Its
mission includes the instructional
