27th – 29th June, 2022
The Digital Resource Center (DRC) organized a 3-day workshop on blended learning for the UBE Smart schools and E-learning Programmes held on 27th-29th June, 2022, at Tahir guest palace hotel, kano state.
The Blended Learning methodology, which will be utilized for teaching and learning in the Smart schools simply refers to an eclectic fusion of face-to-face teaching techniques with appropriate ICT technologies in order achieve optimal learning outcomes.
The DRC has come to the realization that this innovative methodology which will underpin teaching and learning activities in the model smart schools, is a novel concept to teachers, education managers and content developers alike. Therefore, this informed the need to familiarize the relevant stakeholders in that regard.
The recent challenges experienced in the basic education sub-sector occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic, accelerated the need for new teaching and learning models that offer both teachers and learners, flexible opportunities that seek to ensure unfettered access to quality education. Consequently, the idea of integrating e-learning into the Basic Education system was set in motion. Fortunately, even before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the UBE Commission had been vigorously pursuing two important programmes; the Smart Schools and the E-learning programmes, respectively.
