A grade ten student at the Flexible Open and Distance Education (FODE) is amongst fifty students who received certificates for an Online Learning Management Class System.

A pilot project that FODE students from two centers have trialed on digitalized learning of science subjects for three months.

18-year-old Laya Kara from FODE-Central said through learning online, she is able to do problem solving, science equations and other basic grade 10 science units.

“It motivated me to want to continue learn using LMS because I can see things and understand better,” she said. The 18-year-old was interested to take up the class after noting that she needed to improve in science knowledge while scoring good grades in her assignments and exams.

The digitalized training is conducted in partnership with Reelae. A company specialized in digital training.
FODE Principal Anthony Rayappan said it was a good start for students who showed interest and completed the lessons.

“Let’s not think that we are failures anymore. We are same and equal to others in the school system. Be proud in our uniforms while attending the tutorials,” he said.

Rayappan said FODE is fortunate to have a digitalized system for learning. So students can use their devices to do exams, activities and tests.

Meanwhile the Education Department is also liaising with the Department of Higher Education. To consider FODE students grade 10 and 12 in the online selection.
