ReplyDeleteThe Virtual Centre for Innovative Learning Technologies (VCILT) takes advantage of the possibilities offered by ICT to support innovative conceptualizations of learning facilitating the management of sustainable transformations, whether individual, social or institutional. Capitalizing on the core changes brought by ICTs in education and society, the VCILT conducts applied action research on specific new forms of learning and epistemological issues regarding how learning occurs and how knowledge emerges, beyond the borders of traditional systems of education.

Setting up such an organization and providing online education to students surely can be referred to as 'hard work' and really deserve to be rewarded.

ReplyDeleteIndeed, I am also glad to see that the VCILT has won such an illustrious award after so much hard work! You are right at least a good work has been finally rewarded. The VCILT is the best example of how shared work is far more important and rewarding than individual work
The VCILT has brought learning step ahead by introducing “virtual learning” and as Neilesh Luckunsing has said, it has improved our learning system and facilitated students learning. The VCILT really deserves this award. After all, hard work always pays. Congrats
ReplyDeleteBy honoring VCILT for excellence in education technology, Commonwealth of Learning gives due recognition to remarkable achievements to benefit those who seek to emulate examples of good practice in this field. The COL Excellence in education technology acknowledges that excellence is being achieved at many points in the learning process: at the institutional level, in the development of learning materials and in terms of individual educator and student attainment. I am indeed very proud to be a part of University Of Mauritius as we could see the hard work being done for us to have the best education possible.
ReplyDeleteAlbert Einstein said: “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.” True to his words, a university education is what remains with us and helps us make a living. All the same, it is not just a means to earn a living but also a means to better living.
Indeed wintyche.fanfan it is a great achievement for us, all students of University Of Mauritius, to have such so many educational facilities. It is scientifically proven that the learning process is much more improved and the grasp of the subject is more if the theory is applied practically. The application of the technology proves this research if the colleges adopt the technology in education. The team spirit among the students is enhanced; they develop leadership skills and team management skills. The students learn to live in such environment, the thing very basic to any type of profession later adopted by the students in their lives.
