The format of the 2020 Talent Development Programme (TDP), coordinated by Stellenbosch University Centre for Pedagogy (SUNCEP), was altered as part of an emergency response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the consequent lockdown. Due to social distancing protocols the 2020 TDP programme had to move from contact sessions to a digital platform, where learners worked from home. The result was the development of an integrated Learner Management System (LMS), and the provision of the necessary resources (laptops/tablets and data) to learners.
