Vantium Schools provides schools (Primary and Secondary schools) everything they need for world class e-learning. Vantium Schools was built to address the challenges facing schools in Africa in implementing e-learning. These challenges include low power supply, poor and high cost Internet and high implementation cost of current e-learning options. These challenges is why Vantium Schools is a cost effective platform that has been built to work without Internet. View the video to see a demonstration of how Vantium Schools work.

E-LEARNING OVERVIEW

The Core of E-Learning

E-Learning has generated a lot of buzz in the educational sector. With this buzz schools are earnestly now looking for ways to implement e-learning in their school. However there are several misconceptions about e-learning. Some of these misconceptions are

  • Setting up a computer lab with PCs and computer accessories
  • Checking results online
  • Having e-books on tablet PCs
  • Having smart boards in classrooms

All of these don’t address the core of e-learning. The core of e-learning is using technology to individualize the teaching of the curriculum by differentiating instruction and assessment to meet the unique needs of each student with direct impact on student performance.

This is why we have developed a full-fledged e-learning solution that is easy to use by students and teachers what ever their computer literacy level. It is adaptable in all class of schools irrespective of the school infrastructural inadequacies and e-readiness of the teachers. Our e-learning solution can be easily integrated with any type of curriculum; British, American, Nigerian or blended. Unlike many other solutions, Vantium Schools is focused on student understanding, classroom collaboration and efficiency for enhanced student performance not just school management and administration.

Traditional Learning Vs Elearning

The question on the minds of most traditional educators is what does e-learning have to offer that traditional learning does not already provide. E-learning does not elimimate the need to still teach in class, however it empowers teachers to do more. There are three main ways that e-learning empowers the 21st Century teacher

Individualized Learning

Current mode of teaching requires that teachers makes sure every child in class is carried along within a fixed time period of 40 minutes. Teachers do not have the luxury of repeating a lesson until every child understand since they have course content that must be completed within a term period. Available time period is typically not enough to ensure that every student is carried along during a class period.

With video notes students can now learn at their own pace by playing video many times to fully understand. Evaluation tests adminitered in every class which is automatically marked by system enables teachers to know right in class what students understand in every lesson taught. Elearning removes the manual work of marking and allows teachers concentrate on analysing data on student understanding to allow for differentiated instruction.

Visualised Learning

They say a picture speaks louder than a thousand words. Videos even speak a lot more louder. Videos will help teachers reinforce concepts being taught in class rather than depending on pictures from textbook. A teacher teaching volcanos in clas can make it more real to his/her students with the use of videos.

Keeping Data on Student Learning

Currently we rely on teachers intution to keep track of students learning in class. At best learning information is locked in student notebooks which has limited use. By administering evaluation questions that are automatically marked by the system for every lesson taught e-learning makes it possible for teachers to keep life long data on student learning that can be used to improve student performance.

For example if a teacher has 3 concepts to teach in class he can enter 5 evaluation questions that tests those concepts into the system which can be administered. At the end of the class he administers the questions and system automatically marks and give teachers result of test. Teacher can then identify which questions the entire class is struggling with and what each student does not know.

Power Challenge

Most schools currently generate their own electricity and is available for just administrative work in most schools. Classes are built to run without power. To implemet e-learning schools must make adequate provision for electricity which in turns adds to the unattractiveness of implementing e-learning.

Expensive and Unreliable Internet

Most E-Learning solutions are web based and cannot be used in the classroom. For these solutions to be useful in the classroom, schools will have to invest in huge Internet bandwidth is expensive and unreliable making it an unattractive option for most schools.

Low Teachers ICT Skills Challenge

Teachers are the critical succes factors in the implementation of e-learning in any school. However most teachers in Africa currently do no have the requisite skills to use technology in the classroom. This therefore presents a huge challenge in successful implementation of e-learning in most schoools.

Huge Cost E-Learning Solutions Implementation

Most schools ICT infrastructure is not more than a few computers in an ICT room. This makes transiting to a full fledged e-learning solution a huge project which is a huge cost that has discouraged a lot of school from starting their e-learning project.

HOW VANTIUM SCHOOLS WORK

How it works

We will assess infrastructural gaps in the school and deploy needed infrastructure to close that gap that includes

  • a local server,
  • an inverter (for uninterrupted power supply),

The tablet PCs for this e-learning solution are our brand of educational PCs called the Vantium Junior designed for education. The Vantium Junior will be used, as the learning workstation in classes and all the student data will be backed up on the server. Teachers can upload class content on the server and each student will be able to access and download it on their Vantium Junior tablet PCs.

Our solution includes a webserver, which automatically backs up the local server periodically when there is Internet access and provides web access for students to keep up with daily class work from anywhere in the world and also provides information to parents.
