NOUN Debuts New E-Learning Platform (iLearn)

National Open University of Nigerian has inaugurated a technology that offers indigenous courses online to its students.

The new e-learning platform, iLEARN was revealed in a statement by Mr. Femi Obidare, representing Emerging Platforms, a communication company.

The statement added, “With this move, NOUN is giving its students the opportunity to gain access to multiple education delivery channels, which include virtual facilitation, video lectures, audio lectures, smart books, interactive courseware and various other resources in real time through the iLearn platform.

“It presents, firsthand, the challenges students face while studying and how innovative technologies will solve these challenges, improve learning and further reposition NOUN to provide world-class open and distance learning in Africa. Following this capacity building event, in-school trainings have been conducted across all the faculties, during which all NOUN lecturers/facilitators were introduced to the platform and educated on its usage.

“ iLEARN is expected to provide an avenue for real time facilitator-to-student interaction, in a manner that leverages economies of scale through technology.

“The effect of this is seamless interaction between facilitators and students. Furthermore, by allowing access through various avenues, including the Internet, mobile phones and even via SMS, iLearn now makes learning flexible and convenient.”
