Description
The need for a modular system of study in the University in general and in Communication Skills in particular has been necessitated by two issues. The first issue concerns the increased demand for higher education in Kenya that requires universities to broaden access and inclusion to a greater range of students. This is driven by the twin agendas of increasing economic competitiveness on the national and world economic stage and promoting greater social equality by extending access to students from under-represented groups. In addition, the increasing importance attached to the ‘knowledge economy’ and to ‘lifelong learning’ is encouraging more
mature-age, working students to return to formal education to enhance their professional
knowledge and skills. These changes in access have necessitated a move to more adaptable
curricular: modularity and flexibility in course structures and delivery. Thus, universities are having to actively implement systems and approaches in teaching and learning environments; for example, by means of electronic platforms and applications for course delivery, teaching and
learning support.

COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY
Trending!
A community is a social unit (a group of living things) with commonality such as norms, religion, values, customs, or identity. Communities may share a sense of place situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a country, village, town, or neighborhood) or in virtual space through communication platforms. Durable relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties also define a sense of community, important to their identity, practice, and roles in social institutions such as family, home, work, government, society, or humanity at large.[. Although communities are usually small relative to personal social ties, "community" may also refer to large group affiliations such as national communities, international communities, and virtual communities.[3]
