iVote Empowers African Education Sector with e-Learning Technologies

Skopje, Macedonia, September 30, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Mr. Saso Jovanovski, the CEO of iVote, was invited to conduct training for the usage of Epistum Learning Management System (LMS) for Nigerian educational sector. At the International ICT and E-Learning training, held in Dubai, from September 08 to September 12, more than 10 academic staff from Nigerian universities were introduced with Epistum LMS and its functionalities. The training enabled academic staff to become better acquainted with new e-Learning technologies and methods.

Interactive, dynamic learning approaches are the crux of the new academic era. Student’s increasingly changing needs and diversities in age, gender, educational background, culture, language as well as learning habits and styles make tertiary institutions to implement technologies that support distant learning. Often students have different learning approaches of those presented by the educators. Having full attention from students who attend classes in traditional classrooms, who just sit and listen to the teacher, is getting harder and harder, especially nowadays with so many IT gadgets and devices available.

“We are living in technological era surrounded with many different appliances. Constant changes become part of our everyday lives. The usage of ICT in education sectro has opened wide arrange of opportunities. Now, students can attend courses and classes in real time without constraint of their physical presence. Students and teachers can communicate with each other and share their own knowledge at any time using peer to peer communication tools. Discussions and different opinions can be expressed using forums. Real time evaluation tests and quizzes are no longer obstacles. These are few of the many opportunities that IT can do to facilitate educational process and make it more stirring for the both sides,” said Mr. Saso Jovanovski, CEO of iVote.

The training was organized by New Creation Technology, Macedonia in collaboration with FON University, Macedonia and New Creation Educational Foundation, West Africa.
