AMA Revolutionizes E-Learning Education

As developments in information technology continue to transform the world's digital landscape everyday, the education divide is also being breached.

Education, as we know it, is now in the process of evolving from the traditional classroom-confined, teacher-student face to face method to the more flexible and learner-centered mode of technology-enhanced web-based learning. This is e-Learning.
e-Learning, or electronic learning, is the unifying term used to describe the fields of online learning, web-based training and technology delivered instruction.

AMA Education System, the Philippines leading education provider in information technology, has long been equipped with the technology and know-how to empower students with highly interactive multi-media programs thereby making the delivery of quality education more efficient.

What are the benefits of E-learning?

E-Learning creates engaging learning opportunities through the use of multimedia facilities which act as catalysts for authentic and relevant learning experiences.
Through AMA's e-Learning program, 20,000 students are allowed to engage in collaborative learning. They are made members of an online community where close interaction and dynamic exchange of ideas are encouraged through chat groups, message boards and e-mail facilities.

Students in different campuses across the country can easily communicate and enjoy a dynamic exchange of information and ideas. A student from Davao, for instance, can relate local political issues in Davao to students in Metro Manila, thereby enriching the discussion on the course Politics and Governance.

Course content for each subject is uniform for all AMA campuses across the country. This assures students that the high standards of AMA education is uniformly delivered and received by students regardless of their geographical location, thus overcoming the barriers of distance and creating a system-wide virtual class.

The program also enables AMA students to access environments, tools and resources – including fellow e-Learners – at their own pace, in their own time and from wherever an internet-enabled computer might be. This will empower students and make them responsible for their own e-learning experience.

AMA's e-Learning program is powered by Intralearn, a leading US-based designer and supplier of learning management systems (LMS).

Intralearn is the Internet platform being used by AMAES to facilitate e-Learning. Through AMA's e-Learning platform, online access for all AMA students is assured - anytime and anywhere. With AMA e-Learning's dynamic delivery system, students can access educational and learning materials that they can explore even at home, in a friend's house, or even within the comforts of an internet café. It hosts a wide collection of interactive and informative courses developed by industry and academic experts who comprise AMA's Academic Affairs Deparment.

Through Intralearn, instructors author and upload course contents, quizzes, projects, cases, examinations and even the syllabus, all of which are available for students to download. Students can also take on-line quizzes and examinations, submit projects, case analysis and other requirements through the same platform. Communication with the online faculty and fellow e-learners via chat, message board and e-mail facilities is also made easier and more convenient.

The learning environment of the 21st century will be a wall-less, networked online learning community. It will be an environment where reliable, high bandwidth networks allow the “school” to become more than a physical location, and recreates the school as a “stimulating learning hub”.

With the many possibilities and potentials of e-Learning, complemented by AMA's formidable infrastructure and the commitment to provide the most effective learning experience, students are encouraged to participate and interact as members of one big online learning community, empowered, well-skilled and highly employable.
