Dear Student
As part of this tutorial letter, we wish to inform you that Unisa has implemented a
transformation charter based on five pillars and eight dimensions. In response to this
charter, we have also placed curriculum transformation high on the agenda. For your
information, curriculum transformation includes the following pillars: student-centred
scholarship, the pedagogical renewal of teaching and assessment practices, the
scholarship of teaching and learning, and the infusion of African epistemologies and
philosophies. These pillars and their principles will be integrated at both the programme
and module levels as a phased-in approach. You will notice the implementation thereof in
your modules, and we encourage you to fully embrace these changes during your studies
at Unisa.
1 INTRODUCTION
We trust that you will find the module CIC2601 (Computer integration in the classroom) both
exciting and valuable. The course lecturer(s) will be available to help you study successfully. You
are advised to be proactive and study the course material immediately after receiving this Tutorial
Letter 501, which contains important information about computer integration in the classroom. You
can be sure of the lecturers’ professional guidance and support. We trust that, after completing this
module, you will have acquired technological knowledge, technological content knowledge, and
technological pedagogical knowledge to assist you in your teaching and learning.
Because CIC2601 is an online module, all deliberations will be online through the Unisa learning
management system (LMS). You will need to use myUnisa to study and complete the learning
activities. Please visit the module website for CIC2601-23-Y1 on myUnisa frequently.
2.1 Purpose
The purpose of this module is to introduce you to the world of computers and related technologies
so that you can become a computer literate teacher. You will learn about the integration of ICTs in
South African schools; support with the integration of ICTs in classroom activities; computer
vocabulary regarding hardware, software, processing, and networks (including the internet); the
various applications of computer and related technologies in education; and ways to use computer
technology in the classroom to enhance your own teaching and your learners’ learning.

3 CURRICULUM TRANSFORMATION
Unisa has implemented a transformation charter based on five pillars and eight dimensions. In
response to this charter, we have placed curriculum transformation high on the teaching and
learning agenda. Curriculum transformation includes the following pillars: student-centred
scholarship, the pedagogical renewal of teaching and assessment practices, the scholarship of
teaching and learning, and the infusion of African epistemologies and philosophies. These pillars
and their principles will be integrated at both programme and module levels according to a phased-
in approach. You will notice a marked change in the teaching and learning strategy implemented
by Unisa, together with how the content is conceptualised in your modules. We encourage you to
embrace these changes during your studies at Unisa in a responsive way within the framework of
transformation.

It has all the tips and information you need to succeed at Unisa.
For many students, the transition from school education to tertiary education is quite
difficult. This is also true for first-time students to Unisa. Unisa is an open distance and e-
learning institution and somewhat different from face-to-face or contact institutions.
Because we are a mega university, all our programmes are offered in a blended-learning
or fully online learning mode. It is for this reason that we thought it necessary to offer our
first-time students additional support so that they can effortlessly navigate the Unisa
teaching and learning journey. We refer to this student support programme as Unisa’s
First-Year Experience (FYE) Programme. The FYE conveys helpful information about our
services and how you can access information. The following FYE programmes are
currently offered:
• FYE website: All the guides and resources you need to navigate through your first
year at Unisa can be accessed using the following link:www.unisa.ac.za/FYE
• FYE e-mails: You will receive regular e-mails to help you stay focused and
motivated.
• FYE broadcasts: You will receive e-mails with links to broadcasts on various topics
related to your first-year studies (e.g. videos on how to submit assignments online).
• FYE mailbox: For assistance with queries related to your first year of study, send an
e-mail to [email protected].

Assignment 04: MCQ
22
CIC2601/101
The are no other formal assessments, except the assessments mentioned in 9.5.
Because this is a continuous assessment module, there will be no formal examination. What is
important is that you do well in each of the assignments. If your marks are not satisfactory, you
need to contact the lecturer to discuss options to improve them.
9.7.1 Invigilation/proctoring
Since 2020 Unisa conducts all its assessments online. Given stringent requirements from
professional bodies and increased solicitations of Unisa’s students by third parties to
unlawfully assist them with the completion of assignments and examinations, the
University is obliged to assure its assessment integrity through the utilisation of various
proctoring tools: Turnitin, Moodle Proctoring, the Invigilator App and IRIS. These tools will
authenticate the student’s identity and flag suspicious behaviour to assure credibility of
students’ responses during assessments. The description below is for your benefit as you
may encounter any or all of these in your registered modules:
The Moodle Proctoring tool is a facial recognition software that authenticates students’
identity during their Quiz assessments. This tool requires access to a student’s mobile or
laptop camera. Students must ensure their camera is activated in their browser settings
prior to their assessments.
IRIS Invigilation software verifies the identity of a student during assessment and
provides for both manual and automated facial verification. It has the ability to record and
review a student’s assessment session. It flags suspicious behaviour by the students for
review by an academic administrator. IRIS software requires installation on students’
laptop devices that are enabled with a webcam.
Students who are identified and flagged for suspicious dishonest behaviour arising from
the invigilation and proctoring reports are referred to the disciplinary office for formal
proceeding.
23
Please note:
Students must refer to their module assessment information on their myModule sites to
determine which proctoring or invigilation tool will be utilised for their formative and
summative assessments.
