Vice President Dr Mohamed Waheed launched Wataniya Telecom Maldives’ mobile learning service yesterday afternoon at the Holiday Inn.
The mLearning system, called Education Anywhere, is an initiative from Wataniya, Mobitel Sri Lanka and the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Colombo.The system has been successfully implemented in the University.
mLearning is an interactive tool that uses the internet to create a virtual classroom anywhere there is a Wataniya broadband connection.
Dr Waheed said the service would open more opportunities in higher education for many students who cannot afford to attend classes, or who cannot leave home for other reasons.
He added the government was looking into the possibility of introducing a similar programme for the health and education sectors.
