Seychelles’ department of education received a boost following a ten-day workshop, to deliver on-line courses.
According to Anne Lafortune, the Director general of Technical and Further Education, “this training is an important milestone in the development of distance education in Seychelles.”
A group of 20 IT instructors learned how to develop lesson plans on-line, on-line courses, on-line discussions and how to make it more interactive for users.
The course followed the setting up of a web portal using Linux System in e- learning and the learning Management System (LMS) run by Adult Distance Education and Learning (Aldec).
Fiona Ernesta, Aldec’s Director said “this would also help to cut cost for university training and encourage employees to apply for a course without leaving their current posts.”
The portal will be accessed by students enrolled on distance learning courses in various institutions like the National Institute of Education (NIE), the Seychelles Institute of Management
(SIM) and the Seychelles Polytechnic.
The initiative to set up a Web Portal for distance learning is funded by the Japanese Trust Fund through the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco).
