The University of Namibia is Namibia’s largest higher education institution, with about 30,144 students. UNAM student site and e-learning platform are what distinguishes the university from other African institutions.
What is UNAM Student Portal?
Unam portal is an online portal that enables current students to gain access to academic information as well as updates regarding the welfare, support and learning materials provisions.
UNAM Student Portal is the web front (like a gateway) to the University of Namibia’s programs and other learning-related materials.

Uses of UNAM Student Portal and Moodle LMS
It seems that there there is a misunderstanding about the uses (or purposes) of UNAM Student Portal and UNAM Moodle LMS. In fact, the online teaching and learning will be done through the Moodle Learning Platform, rather than the Student Portal.
The university mentioned that as part of the remote Learning and Teaching strategy of the University, these two platforms (student portal and LMS Moodle) will complement each other.
