Announcing Acadly at Rhodes University

The EdTech team is excited to announce the introduction of Acadly as one of the teaching and learning tools that will be available to Rhodes University instructors in the new academic year.

We believe Acadly will be an effective pedagogical tool for use during and outside of lecture hours and look forward to instructors' feedback on its efficacy throughout the semester.

This website is designed to help instructors get all the necessary information to get started. Please reach out to edtech@ru.ac.za or support@acadly.com to get any questions answered.
