With funding from the TDG project 'Aligning an eLearning Service to the needs of programmes', the Centre for Learning Enhancement And Research (CLEAR) and the Information Technology Services Centre (ITSC) are pleased to work together in providing the new 'eLearning Service at CU' (eLS@CU). This support service has been designed to assist teachers at the Chinese University in utilizing technology to meet the University's mission of excellence in teaching and learning.

The eLS@CU includes:
