The e-Education seminar was aimed at offering an information platform on how technology can support academic approaches and enrich the learning environment for students and teachers, a press release said.
Officials from six Singaporean ICT companies and the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) were present to share their project implementation experience, discuss benefits of e-Learning programmes and showcase how ICT adoption can potentially be made by educational institutions.
These companies included GSA Pte Ltd, Heulab Pte Ltd, IDA international Pte Ltd, Inspire-Tech Pte Ltd, LDR Pte Ltd and LittleLives Inc Pte Ltd. Each company specialises in ICT products and services that have been successfully adopted by the education sector in Singapore and other international markets. Moreover, the Ministry of Education and various senior executives from ITA contributed to the seminar’s panel and keynote sessions, while IDA shared its ICT Education and Learning Plan, which was developed under Singapore’s Intelligent Nation 2015 Masterplan (iN2015).
Ronnie Tay, chief executive officer, Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore said, “Educational institutions all over the world are actively looking to leverage ICT to better equip their students and teachers for a learner-centric environment.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas with ITA on the use of ICT to strengthen the education sector.”
Dr Salim Sultan al Ruzaiqi, chief executive officer, ITA, said, “Recognising the need to elevate the country through education and learning technology, Oman has been working closely with Singapore to exchange experiences in the collaboration of ICT. This joint seminar is an example of how both countries can strengthen Oman’s adoption of ICT for the education sector through knowledge sharing. Singapore’s e-Education programmes can serve as a guide along with other worldwide experiences in inculcating practices and promotions of ICT innovation for schools, teachers and students in Oman.”
