As we step into the 21st century, the challenge is for every
individual to keep up with the latest modern technology and to
remain competitive in the knowledge based economy.
" It is the capacity to learn that will define excellence in future,
not merely academic achievement."
--- Prime Minister Goh.
His vision is to re-engineer the education scene and to turn
Singapore into a "Learning
Nation". Edubase shares the same vision and recognizes that the process of learning
is considered just as important as the outcome of learning and
the term "excellence" has taken on a new meaning.
E-learning is a form of technology-enabled learning where learners
are no longer classroom-bound. The personal computer is one
of the tools and the Internet is the main channel used to
deliver learning resources. Despite being away from the classroom,
learners
are still able to interact with an on-line community through
chat, discussion and email facilities.
The current trend in e-Learning technologies is the use of
Internet technologies to bring in live or online contents.
Learners log
in to the web site and are offered a myriad of courses from
IT desktop applications to personal improvement courses.
Learners then go through the learning process via the web.
Edubase recognizes
this e-learning trend and seeks to provide solutions for
both teachers and students.
In addition, annual competitions like National Junior Robotics
Competition, National Thinkquest Junior Competition, National
Software competition and Video Award Competition encourage
students to take interest in computers and technology,
using IT as a tool
to stimulate and nurture new concepts and ideas. Edubase
provides coaching services to equip students with the necessary
skills
to take part in these prestigious competitions.
