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.

Risk Management Principles for Electronic Banking
Trending!
Continuing technological innovation and competition among existing banking organizations and new entrants have allowed for a much wider array of banking products and services to become accessible and delivered to retail and wholesale customers through an electronic distribution channel collectively referred to as e-banking. However, the rapid development of e-banking capabilities carries risks as well as benefits. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision expects such risks to be recognised, addressed and managed by banking institutions in a prudent manner according to the fundamental characteristics and challenges of e-banking services. These characteristics include the unprecedented speed of change related to technological and customer service innovation, the ubiquitous and global nature of open electronic networks, the integration of ebanking applications with legacy computer systems and the increasing dependence of banks on third parties that provide the necessary information technology. While not creating inherently new risks, the Committee noted that these characteristics increased and modified some of the traditional risks associated with banking activities, in particular strategic,
operational, legal and reputational risks, thereby influencing the overall risk profile of
banking.
