LAHORE:


Online learning is far more interesting than traditional education techniques and is also easier to track and review, said speakers at I Love Learning Conference on Saturday.


The conference, organised by 3P Learning, is a series of lectures and workshops aimed at challenging teachers and educators to look differently and creatively at the teaching and learning process. The lectures are titled: teaching ethics, learning dispositions, integration of technology in regular teaching and learning process through online education.

The 3P Learning is a Sydney-based company, with offices in 12 countries, including Pakistan. Research Scholar Muhammed Akram and teacher training expert Tina Hameed shared their e-learning experiences with the participants.

“The diversity of activities, tasks and challenges in each e-learning programme instills a sense of achievement and the love for learning in students. Coupled with the drive to reduce teachers’ workload, the online learning resources are powerful tools both in and out of the classroom. These programmes cover mathematics, spelling and literacy, reading skills and science,” Hameed said.

“Learning dispositions are different from skills and knowledge and have long-term effects on learning. The concept of dispositional approach thus rests on the working assumption that effective, sustained change in the ethos and effects of schooling only happens when many ingredients are present,” she said.

Muhammad Akram focused on integration of online and blended learning at schools. He shared his experience of using online learning for grade 9 students.

The 3P Learning, Pakistan CEO concluded the session by extended his thanks to all the participants for making the event a success.
