NewsIf we aim to be the best providers of knowledge and tools for contextual applications then the implication is we have to be learning constantly.
Based on the previous premise and due that ubium emerged from the research done at EdTech, it is possible to keep researching and collaborating with the University of Eastern Finland. Thanks to this association, we were in South Africa to learn from each other and search for further collaboration with South African partners.
This journey enhanced ubium's expertise on contextual learning by understanding critical activities that mobile learning experts require in the field, and ubium's technology can support them. Additionally, we got an insight into the serious games initiatives in South Africa.
The experience was rich in many dimensions despite being short. Let us share you some moments in the following photos:
Preparing tables for mobile learning activities while training teachers, part of the ICT4RED
Surroundings towards one of the schools involved in ICT4RED
A remote school that is involved into the ICT4RED
Training session in one of the ICT4RED partner schools, notice the use of digital and non-digital devices!
Some memories from the training session I was present (ICT4RED)
Unfortunatelly, I did not take more photos of the North West University at Vaal, where they are pushing the serious game initiative, but to record those moments, I can share some of the campus inhabitants. It is a BEAUTIFUL campus and they are doing an amazing work in there.
Last but not least, ubium visited Maropeng, where in adition to learn about our ancestors gain an important understanding of hands on activities in museums from the South African perspective! There is much to do and learn in our globe!!!
Summarizing:
- Unquestionably, we are looking for collaboration with the region!
- Thank you for the learning experience and thank you to my hosts overall.
