What You Dont Know About National Open University (NOUN) iLearn The Threshold of Educational Revolution - Read Here

The National Open University of Nigeria in its effort to take education to the doorstep of the Nigerian populace irrespective of their social status has deployed and implemented iLearn portal technology to enhance student’s learning experience.

The N.O.U.N. iLearn platform has been created to ease access to excellent quality education. The platform provides amongst many, the following:

• Online class discussions organized by NOUN facilitators thereby creating a virtual classroom environment.
• Facility for students to get answers to any questions or areas of difficulty pertaining to their course of study
• Networking  and collaboration Tools to help in community of interaction among students, facilitators, academic  staff and faculty members
•  Better study tools such as the Smart e-Book
• Digitized lecture video and audio materials for an enhanced student’ learning experience available on the platform.
• Access to Assignments, Quizzes and Self-study Assessment tools

For decades, providing education for all has been a major agenda for the global community. Efforts have continually been ploughed in and thankfully, remarkable milestones have been attained at different levels. One of such milestones is the innovative use of information technology to democratize education.  The recent boom of online learning platforms across the world give credence to the progress being made in the use of technology to create education solutions. Some of these platforms like Coursera, Lynda.com, Alison, Codeacademy, Udemy and Khan Academy, have already gained wide acclaim even among Nigerian youths. The beauty of these platforms is the easy access they provide to a vast variety of educational resources, networks and fun learning all at the speed of a click.

The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) has now joined the league of leading global institutions at the forefront of using technology to enhance learning, with its migration to a new e-learning platform – iLEARN. Worthy of note is the fact that iLearn represents the very first time in the history of Nigerian tertiary education that e-learning is being fully integrated by a university with indigenous courses made available online, accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Excitedly, with its recent introduction of iLearn, NOUN has succeeded in stepping on to the threshold of pioneering an innovative educational solution to the problems facing tertiary education in Nigeria. With this move, NOUN is giving its students the opportunity to gain access to multiple education delivery channels, which include virtual facilitation, video lectures, audio lectures, smart books, interactive courseware and various other resources in real time through the iLearn platform.

On the 14^th of April this year, the ICT solution provider powering the iLearn portal presented it to the institution at a 3-day usage and capacity building event held in Lagos. In attendance was the Vice Chancellor of the National Open University, Prof. Vincent Ado Tenebe alongside other staff of the institution. As one of the pieces of the robust capacity building plan, the training program focused on providing practical know-how to academic staff of NOUN on how to use the iLearn platform. It presented firsthand the current challenges students faced while studying and how innovative technologies will solve these challenges, improve learning and further reposition the National Open University of Nigeria to provide world class Open and Distance Learning in Africa. Following this capacity building event, in-school trainings have been conducted across all the faculties, during which all NOUN lecturers/facilitators were introduced to the platform and educated on its usage. Furthermore, in-school clinics have been scheduled towards the beginning of the new semester to ensure that all the facilitators are up to speed with the new portal. NOUN students have also started gaining access to the platform and a support service is in full operation, rendering necessary help to the students.

Truly speaking, NOUN is one of the government’s most laudable attempts at providing Nigerians with access to formal tertiary education in a manner suited to their circumstances. NOUN currently has the largest student population amongst all tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The university under the visionary leadership of the current Vice Chancellor, Prof. Vincent Ado Tenebe, has stayed true to its mandate in spite of several mitigating factors. Among such factors is the low level of lecturer to student interaction due to its underlying Open and Distance Learning framework. These issues that affected the students also affected the institution, as the increasing student population became a strain on the institution’s infrastructure and manpower.

But with iLearn, an avenue for real time facilitator-to-student interaction is now provided, in a manner that leverages economies of scale through technology. This is achieved using customized features such as virtual classrooms with class discussion, course forums and the “Ask A Question” functionality. Facilitators will be able to moderate a class session, directly answer student’s questions, and provide additional insight to subject areas. The effect of this is seamless interaction between facilitators and students, and between students and fellow students. Furthermore, by allowing access through various avenues including the internet, mobile phones and even via SMS, iLearn now makes learning truly flexible and convenient. Students no longer need to study in isolation. If they encounter any issue while studying or should they be in need of any information, they can post questions or requests for explanation to thousands of fellow students a click away – be it on a laptop, tablet or mobile phone. Students will obtain first grade and quality facilitation from NOUN lecturers on the NOUN iLearn platform.

NOUN is now set to play a bigger role in solving the problem of education deficit in the country as the iLearn platform allows the delivery of quality education to a limitless number of students, thereby introducing unprecedented cost controls. Beyond that, individuals seeking to advance their education (professionals, working class people and yes, mums) can now take advantage of this platform without serious worries over time, space and financial constraints. Arguably, the NOUN iLearn initiative is a major boost to President Goodluck Jonathan’s national transformation agenda with respect to education.

In the end, the solutions to the problems bedeviling Nigeria’s educational sector will be solved in part by innovation. However it must be pointed out that innovation cannot in itself survive in a vacuum. It must be driven with passion beyond measure by the drivers of policy, technological thinkers and every individual who cares for a better and progressive Nigeria. Government, teachers and students must learn new skills, make new sacrifices and embrace change! With its evident values, it is safe to admit that iLearn represents one of the noteworthy milestones in climbing out of the abyss that our educational system is currently in.

These are to mention a few benefits to all concerned.

To effectively administer this innovative development, the management of NOUN have included the sum of N7,500.00 only to cover administrative charges and running costs of the platform per semester.
We anticipate your cooperation in order to make our goal of revolutionizing the learning experience a success for the benefits of all our esteemed students.

ASUP STRIKE UPDATES: ASUP/COEASU Strike Continues as Nigerian Commission Unable to Reach Agreement

“As the ministry made proposal to settle the lecturers’ arrears owed since 2009 in installments, the commission wrote to kick against the plan.”

The ongoing nationwide strike by lecturers of polytechnics and colleges of education continues after the lecturers were told on Tuesday that a government agency was opposed to the payment of their salary arrears.

The Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, told lawmakers and the striking lecturers that the Salaries, Wages and Income Commission was opposed to the payment of arrears owed them.

Mr. Wike said this at a meeting organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Education in Abuja. The meeting, as reported by PREMIUM TIMES, was also attended by leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, and the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, COEASU.

“As the ministry made proposal to settle the lecturers’ arrears owed since 2009 in installments, the commission wrote to kick against the plan,” Mr. Wike said. “Government has been meeting on what to do, but the commission opposes the proposal I made to pay the arrears in installment.”

The minister said the commission was opposed to the proposal claiming that it was not consulted before the 2009 CONTISSS agreement between the lecturers and the federal government was reached.

He said the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Pius Anyim, has invited those involved to a meeting with a view to resolving the matter.

He listed those invited to include the ministers of Education and Labour, the Head of Service and the Wages Commission.

The minister assured that the Federal Government would soon resolve the ongoing strike, saying it was deploying all means to reach an agreement with the unions.

“We owe this country a great duty. Nobody will be sitting down happily to see our children staying at home,” he said.

On the issue of the white paper on visitation panels to polytechnics, Mr. Wike assured that it would soon be released.

The Chairman of the House Committee, Aminu Suleiman (APC-Kano) appealed to the two unions and the government for amicable solution to the issues.

The ASUP President, Chibuzo Asumagha, expressed satisfaction with the minister’s assurance, saying that his union never rejected the installment payment.

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Abdulwahid Omar, cautioned the wages commission on its interference.

“The wages and salaries commission should not come in at this time to stall the arrangement between government and the two unions, “he said.

Speaking after the meeting, the ASUP spokesperson, Clement Chairman, told PREMIUM TIMES that the union was surprised by the stance of the wages commission and the federal government.

“The last time we had a meeting we were talking about modalities of payment, now they are saying that government has set up a technical committee to look at the matter because there is an observation from salary and wages commission, which is actually a little set back,” he said.

Mr. Chirman said the committee set up by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim, to review the controversy was given one week to complete its assignment.

“It was also advised that the committee should meet in a space of one week; after that another meeting will be held,” he said.

ASUP has been on strike since October 2013 while COEASU has been on strike since December 2013.

Candidates are advised to take note of the change in the examination centres which had been reduced from 18 to 10 due to logistics, though the Police Training School, Ibadan centre remained unchanged.

Candidates were expected to come with their original JAMB result slips and photocopies, alongside other requirements and materials.

Nigerian University Graduate Turn Waste To Wealth - See How

Thirty-one year old Ade Ogunbowale, a graduate of Mechanical Engineering from one of the universities in the country shared his success story as a scavenger withEbun Sessouin a 30-minute interactive session in Oko-Afa area of Isolo, Lagos State recently.

Ogunbowale could not secure a job after his B.Sc degree and joined the legion of unemployed graduates three years ago. According to him, he carved a niche for himself and became a scavenger at a dump site in Oko-Afa.

Narrating the success story of how he makes a living for himself and sponsors his siblings, he said, “I pick up plastic bottles that litter the streets along my way as well as metals to make a living. Although, most people see the job as dirty, I am feeding my family from it”.

According to him, “There are several people the trade helps.

“Waste recycling is a business that if you decide to go into it today, you are sure of making money. The fun of it is that you might even decide to start now with nothing and still make more money from the business,” Ogunbowale said.

He explained that, “most of the scavengers pick used materials at various dump sites and elsewhere. They look out for objects that include glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles and electronics.

“The materials are then taken to a collection centre where they are sorted, cleaned and reprocessed into materials bound for manufacturing”, he added.

His words: “Recycling of such materials would produce fresh supply of the same material. For example, used office paper can be converted into making a new office paper just as used polystyrene can be converted into making new polystyrene.

“But recycling of waste is just picking up in the country as a new business model and it surely offers lots of opportunity.

For instance, one benefit of recycling is that it saves resources. Also, to recycle waste is to simply reduce pollution. By recycling plastic material we can reduce air pollution as well as water pollution”, he said.
