Sydney eLearning

Sydney eLearning is part of the University’s Provost Portfolio and is located in the Office of the Deputy Provost (Learning and Teaching) Pro-Vice-Chancellor. Sydney eLearning represents the University of Sydney’s commitment to enabling student understanding and the learning and teaching goals of staff and their faculties through eLearning. It does this strategically by providing project management and educational design support to faculties, and supports individual staff and their students through the central helpdesk.
