“The LP+365 digital learning classroom solution is a cloud-based learning platform which transforms the Microsoft Office365 into a school’s virtual learning environment, enabling teachers to design and plan the curriculum, deliver subject material, manage coursework and communicate with learners using simple drag and drop technology. LP+365 solution provides 24 hours access to learning for both teachers and students, virtually everything you are learning in the classroom is on line and it can be accessed anywhere you are.”
Commenting on Leveraging Technology Skills to succeed in the Digital Age, Hon Commissioner for Education, Anambra State, Prof Kate Azuka Omenugha explained that in the 21st century, students must be fully engaged, and that this requires the use of technological tools and resources, involvement with interesting and relevant projects, and learning environments.
“During the last decade Nigeria has prioritized technology in education, though recording uneven progress in states and among schools. Over the years we have realized that there are different technology investment levels nationwide, and soon, I am quite sure we will get there.”
