With Teach, the Institute of Technical Education Gets the Most
out of Computer Based Learning
In a world that is increasingly driven by technology,
it is common for the education and training sector to employ Computer Based Learning
(CBL) actively. Aside from keeping abreast of the latest innovations, it has become
essential that schools and institutions provide students with sufficient computer
systems and software tools. In order to increase learning productivity for students,
teachers aim to make full use of their resources in the classroom.
Being a world-class provider of technical education to secondary school leavers
and working adults, the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) is determined to
provide the best technology possible to its students. ITE consists of 11 colleges
spread over the Central, East and West of Singapore. In 2005, ITE College East started
using Junglebyte Teach, a classroom management system on its Simei campus. Teachers
and students benefited from a more productive overall learning experience. As a
result, ITE expanded the use of Teach to its 10 other colleges. Today, 280 computer
labs in the 11 ITE colleges are equipped with Teach.
Junglebyte Teach Helps to Keep Tanglin Trust School Students
on Task
The school-going children and teenagers
of the 21st century are a highly sophisticated and tech-savvy bunch. In an era that
considers mobile phones and web messengers the norm for communication, how can schools
that employ a large use of computers fight off the distraction of the Internet in
the classroom?
Based in Singapore, the Tanglin Trust School teaches a British-based curriculum
in three schools – Infant, Junior and Senior. With close to 2,000 students in the
three schools, a powerful and scalable management system is required to manage the
large number of computers on campus. In 2002, Tanglin Trust School found their solution
in Junglebyte Teach, a highly scalable classroom management system. The teachers
and students have been using it ever since.
