Academic

With the current dependence on IT as a teaching tool, creation of eLearning materials by teachers and lecturers are inevitable. However, time and resources are not always a luxury that many educators may enjoy. As such, a near zero learning curve, easy to use software is very much sought after to ease the process of developing online materials.

Aligning eLC´s mission to empower educators to MOE´s IT Masterplan to strengthen the integration of ICT into the curriculum and pedagogy, eLC has introduced tools like Lectora, Articulate and SwishMax, greatly benefitting both teachers and students. Developed for end users without programming knowledge, these tools give educators the edge of developing interactive online materials and animations on their own. This also benefits students who gain from the creation of web pages and animations which do not compromise the learning objectives of the lessons.

With eLC actively assisting schools in areas of training and facilitating the usage of authoring tools, schools have achieved varying degrees of success in building up their repository of resources.

The increasing number and higher quality of entries submitted for the Lectora competition held annually in Singapore attest to the benefits of the authoring tools we carry to our academic clients.

Seeing as much success is also the increased usage of Articulate in schools to assist teachers in converting their MS PowerPoint into interactive SCORM compliant content for deployment in the school´s Learning Management System. For schools who are in the early stages of implementing e-learning or do not require as much interactivity, Articulate can more than meet the requirement to quickly convert and add simple yet snazzy interactive objects to the courseware.

To ensure that teachers know how to use the authoring tools, the eLC also offers training to HODs and teachers to prepare them to mentor and facilitate other teachers at their schools. Our training courses aim at equipping teachers with the most current technologies to deliver content and instructional strategies which can be incorporated to improve the delivery of their lessons. Following the successful implementation for all HODs IT in their respective schools, MOE purchased the COTS from eLC to implement the online eLearning Modules to all their teachers via its Learning Management System.

Government & Statutory Board

With the Singapore Government´s constant emphasis on training and retraining, there is always a need for various ministries in Singapore to ensure their staff are effectively trained and updated. Especially for the adult learners of today´s society, time and flexibility are of the essence. Besides traditional classroom settings to facilitate face-to-face training, the use of technology can enhance learning, allow learning at your own pace and in your own time for example, with results tracked and/or analysed at a click of a button. No one organisation´s training needs are the same, which is why a blended training solution is much more effective and ensures learning objectives are met efficiently.

Today, some of eLC´s longest standing esteemed clients are from the government ministries and statutory boards in Singapore, and include the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA), Ministry of Defence (MINDEF), Ministry of Education (MOE), and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

Upon the completion of the consultancy, the findings and recommendations were published in four reports, setting the framework and strategy for implementation which can be applied in any learning architecture. The successful conclusion of the project is attributed mainly to eLC´s ability to have an in-depth understanding of MINDEF´s training philosophy and precise needs analysis, a proprietary process methodology that is proven and practised across the company.
