The UBEC e-Learning Centers play a vital role in providing quality education to learners in remote areas and ensuring access to educational resources. In cognizance of this crucial part, the Commission equipped and furnished one hundred and nine 109 schools (3 per senatorial district) as designated Centers for the e-learning programme across Nigeria.
Consequently, in order to ensure the successful take-off of the e-learning programme, the Commission through the DRC conducted a three-day training course to develop the capacities of the headteachers managing these centres on the integration of technology in education and further enhance the effectiveness of the centers.
The exercise offered specialized training on the concept and practice of Blended Learning (BL) to the Headteachers of e-learning centers, provided basic and appropriate ICT training and offered leadership training for the head teachers of the e-learning centers. The training sessions were facilitated by Resource persons from Universities and Colleges of Education with Blended Learning expertise and ICT speciality, who intensively administered and equipped the Headteachers with the rudiments of the BL techniques and the utilization of technology in classroom lesson delivery as would be applied in the e-learning centers starting September 2023. The training sessions enlightened the head teachers on the objectives, strategies and best practices required to effectively run an e-learning center.
