Emdee Shipping and Maritime College has launched the latest state-of-the-art classroom technology for students that are expected to gain admission in the first session of the school in October.
The on line technology called e-beam is for students that are unavailable during classroom lectures.
E-Beam is an interactive technology that transforms classrooms into dynamic learning environments where everyone participates. It is a software device that help teachers plan, prepare and deliver compelling lessons, while keeping students involved and motivated. This educational technology is transformative yet practical.
Speaking with Shipping Position Daily in Lagos last week, on the development, Rector of the school, Mr. Ajiboye Adekunle described the innovation as the first of its kind in any maritime training institutions oin the country.
Adekunle noted that, ‘’we are introducing e-beam system to our students, so that wherever they are they can receive lectures, even from any part of the world’’.
We looked round all other institutions and no one has ever embarked on this kind of electronic system of learning in Nigeria. It is Emdee School that is the first to do such, and it is for the betterment of our students not to be left out in classroom activities ‘’.
He said that the type of programmes that the school offers is highly technical and there is the need for students to be part and parcel of classroom activities even when they are not present.
The rector said that students of the institute are entitled to the password for the online lectures platform and that it is an added advantage for those that could not be able to make it to the classroom lectures.
According to him, the school has the three programmes for students, namely: diploma, certificate and executive and any of the students that have the code, automatically can assess the on line training programme.
Adekunle added that it is part of the school’s effort to ensure that students are empowered directly or indirectly to achieve the best in maritime training.
On his part, the System Engineer, Premium Business Solution Limited, Engineer Olakunle Fowodu also told our correspondent during the installation of the equipment that the technology will offer the maritime training school a platform that cannot be imitated among other schools of the country.
According to him, the new technology has come to replace the old form of classroom learning and that it gives room for students to enjoy lectures.
He noted that e-beam is different from the traditional way of learning adding that its features are unique.
