Objectives
Flagship
Digital delivery of education is more than ever a necessity to provide equal opportunity for all to access to quality education.
Major barriers remain as (i) ITC infrastructure and stability, (ii) Quality and Relevant Content given a user-friendly learning and teaching environment, (iii) provisional of learning analytics with full-fledged assistance, as well as (iv) Teacher Digital Capacity to sustain any Digital Learning and Training methodologies.
Our overarching ambition is to use the course of digitization to help skills-based education towards more digital than presential, albeit the value of hands-on training would strengthen achievement of professional competencies that individuals would require to fulfill their jobs.
Our goal is to design and implement educational solutions and programs that train people to perform in highly dynamic and complex industrial environments. Our aim is to maximize the learning success in educational institutions and industrial companies around the globe.
