Digital Divide
E-Tuition System
Background/Overview of the Initiative
The E-Tuition System is an online learning management system provided by the Nuclear Center of Excellence (CoNE) for offering training programs in nuclear technology and related technologies. There are six training sectors offered:
- Radiation Safety and Health
- Medical Radiation
- Non-Destructive Testing
- Environmental Safety and Health
- Nuclear Science and Engineering
- Technology Management
The system is designed to support learning and teaching through digital mediums. It also helps manage courses, deliver learning materials, assess trainees, and facilitate interaction between instructors and trainees, all conducted online.
The system's development began in 2010 through outsourcing and was implemented using the Moodle application. The first course offered through the E-Tuition system was launched in 2011, focusing on medical radiation with the ‘Good Handling Practice in Medical X-Ray’ training program. This program was introduced for officers and medical practitioners, considering their busy schedules and limitations in attending physical training. From this starting point, the system was expanded, and more training programs were added over time.
The target participants for this system include adult learners and professionals from private companies, government departments/agencies, and the general public. The system is categorized as Government-to-Business (G2B) and Government-to-Government (G2G). Below are the E-Tuition System Modules:
- Learning Modules: Courses are divided into multiple modules or topics, allowing learners to study independently.
- Assignment Management: Trainees can submit assignments and projects online, while instructors/facilitators can provide quick feedback.
- Tests and Quizzes: The system offers tools for creating tests or quizzes to assess trainees’ progress on specific topics.
- Discussion Forums: Trainees and instructors can interact through discussion forums to discuss specific topics.
- Resource Storage: Course content includes learning materials such as videos, textbooks, lecture notes, and other references, which trainees can access anytime.
- Reports and Monitoring: Instructors can monitor trainees’ progress and generate reports on their achievements.
- Mobile Access: The Moodle app allows trainees to access their courses via smartphones or tablets, providing flexibility in learning.
Outcome/Impact
The E-Tuition System has brought several positive impacts for trainees, including:
- Flexible Learning: Access to learning content anytime and anywhere with an internet connection. Trainees can plan their study time according to their schedules, whether at home, work, or travel.
- Diverse Learning Resources: Availability of articles, videos, discussion forums, and interactive quizzes. Trainees can learn engagingly and interactively which suits their learning style.
- Self-Paced Learning: Trainees can adjust their learning progress and select topics of interest.
- Higher Engagement: Discussion forums and interactive platforms encourage collaborative and interactive learning. This enhances engagement and motivation among trainees.
- Fast Monitoring and Feedback: Quick feedback on tests, assignments, and activities helps trainees identify strengths and weaknesses early and improve accordingly.
- Convenient Learning Records: Easy access to lecture notes, submitted assignments, and exam scores for tracking the trainees’ progress.
- Improved Technology Skills: Trainees develop essential technological skills required in today’s digital age. They become more proficient in using technology tools for learning and communication.
- Cost and Time Savings: Reduces travel expenses and operational costs by the trainees and organizations. Eliminates the need for physical classrooms, making learning more accessible.
