of By Jacky Lim
Yesterday a seminar on e-learning entitled The
Brand New Learning World was organised by
Hewlett-Packard and Komputer Wisman
Sdn Bhd at one of the
hotels in Gadong. The seminar was officiated by Pg Hj Mohd Daud Pg Hj Puteh from the Department of
School, Ministry of Education on behalf of Director of Schools Pg Datin Paduka Hjh Mariam Binti
Pg Hj Matarsat. Hj Sulaiman Hj Ahai,
Managing Director of Komputer Wisman
said, "Komputer Wisman
has been in the forefront of introducing new technologies to Brunei
Darussalam. We are committed to providing you with reliable IT products and
services. With the focus of the government in building-up a knowledge-based
economy, we are proud to organise this seminar on
e-learning." According to Mr Tay Chor Ter
the speaker of the seminar from Hewlett-Packard Far East Pte
Ltd, Hj Sulaiman added, "The traditional education and
training system has centred on physical classroom
environments and one teacher or trainer to a limited number of students and
trainees. While this system has served many countries and corporations well
for centuries, the demands of the knowledge-based economy and advent of new
technologies have alerted governments, corporations, communities and even the
learning individuals to look beyond the traditional methods of delivering and
acquiring knowledge." He also said, "The seminar will discuss the
challenges ahead and how e-learning solutions can facilitate the delivery of
the right knowledge to the right audience at the right place, time and price.
It will also highlight the integrated environments available and showcase
Hewlett-Packard's e-learning solutions for academic learning, corporate
training and adult lifelong education." He also said, "The
e-learning does not only apply to school but is also for corporate use."
And estimate of about 120 participants from several Government ministries and
private sectors attended the seminar.
