Dr. Rolando Lontok, Head of the e-Learning Working Group of the college, today conducted three workshop sessions on the use of Moodle and NCT eLearn for Foundation level students. A total of 40 students, 22 males and 18 females, attended the sessions which were held at the Self-Access Centre of the ELC building. The sessions, each lasted for 40 minutes, were held from 8:00 to 10:00am. The sessions were organized by the ELC through its head, Mr. Michael Reith, and were coordinated by the ELC e-Learning Coordinator, Mr. Adeel Badar.
In the workshops, Dr. Rolando discussed the importance of e-learning portal in extending the learning process of students. He also gave a general description of the NCT e-Learning Portal, and how students should use it. More importantly, he gave the participating students the chance to experience using NCT eLearn through Moodle by giving them a walkthrough of the steps - from accessing their Moodle accounts, to changing their passwords, to accessing their courses and using the files uploaded by their tutors – and letting the students do said activities on their own. Short question and answer activities followed each workshop session. Dr. Rolando was assisted by Mr. Ramil Rabang, ETC Technician, throughout the workshops.
