Launch Of IGCOL.com Malaysia and IGCOL.com Hong Kong
Following the successful launch of IGCOL.com (Singapore), which provided
students of the Informatics Group Centre for Open Learning (IGCOL) with
e-convenience, Informatics and PurpleTrain are proud to also announce the launch
of IGCOL.com (Malaysia) and IGCOL.com (Hong Kong).
By partnering PurpleTrain.com, IGCOL.com (Malaysia) and IGCOL.com (Hong Kong)
will now move to the forefront of technology in the education industry, as it
will now provide online e-learning facilities for its existing and new students,
as it taps onto the numerous online tools on PurpleTrain.com. This will greatly
enhance the learning process of their pool of distance learning students.
IGCOL.com (Malaysia) and IGCOL.com (Hong Kong) were formerly known as
International Advanced Higher Education (IAHE) and Informatics Open Institute
(IOI) respectively.
This value-added service will result in many advantages for distance learning
students. The introduction of e-learning will enable students to make payments
online via credit card, access online course materials, use online chats and
discussion rooms to discuss academic queries with facilitators and fellow
coursemates. This augmentation opens up additional interaction channels for the
students of IGCOL.com. Students now have tremendous advantage in taking distance
learning programmes with all the e-convenience and e-services made available
when studying IGCOL's degree programmes. This brings IGCOL.com to the leading
edge of advanced technology in providing the widest range and choice of
internationally-recognised distance education programmes.
"The challenge is for IGCOL to integrate the traditional modes of academic
delivery, enhance it with value-added services, adopting an e-learning approach,
and develop life long partnerships with our students," said Mr Rajinder Singh,
Assistant Director of PurpleTrain.com. "With the e-focus, IGCOL is poised to
stretch education technology to its limit. More recently, e-learning, e-services
and e-commerce have taken a new dimension at IGCOL with the formation of the
IGCOL.com online learning portal.
