Democratizing education with technology

by EMMANUEL BRUCE , Graphic Online

Technology is now presenting educators and students with a new, low cost tool for teaching and learning through the Internet. It is for this reason that the Springboard, Your Virtual University, a radio programme on Joy FM, used last Sunday’s edition to look at how to explore technology and learning to transition one’s career. The show, which is hosted by Rev. Albert Ocran, had the Chief Executive Officer of TECHAIDE, Mr Kafui Prebbie, the Human Resource Business Partner at Ecobank, Mr Nii Koi Kotey, and Mr Derrydean Dadzie, who took listeners through how they could develop themselves through personal learning and some of the opportunities that existed in it. Rev. Ocran, in his introductory remarks, said personal development and informal learning gave people the power to learn whatever they liked, as it puts the power in the hands of the individual. “In personal learning, nobody gives you what you learn, you choose what you want and learn it. There are no limitations,” he said.
