Breeze Through Revisions with Newly Added Feature to Informatics Academy's e-Revision Service!

Anything 'e' is associated with convenience and flexibility. The Informatics Academy e-Revision feature of Informatics is no exception. As a value-added service that rides on a state of the art web-based system, the e-Revision service is made available through the online portal, Informatics Virtual Campus (IVC) and allows you to assess your level readiness for the selected module and ultimately, proficiency in sitting for the final examinations.

Informatics Academy is proud to announce the launch of the latest feature of the e-Revision service, the Live Chat Session. This allows you to interact live with Unit Leaders at the closing session of the revision process. PurpleTrain students, with your experience of e-Learning will of course have no difficulty taking up this innovative feature, in fact, this will be a breeze!
E-Revision enhances your learning experience, enabling access learning facilities and revision materials at any time of day and night, anytime, anywhere. Due to its online characteristic, it is available to all students from all over the world, as long as they have access to the Internet and are able to log on to IVC.

What are the benefits?

  • Personalised guidance from academic leaders
  • 24 x 7 accessibility
  • Assessment of strengths and weaknesses
  • Provision of professional academic solutions
  • Review and discussion of past term questions
  • On-going revision until actual examinations

Since its launch, the Informatics Academy e-Revision service has been providing students examination preparation sessions at the end of every term for the past 4 terms. For the minimal fee of USD 40 per module, students are able to download revision notes, past term examination papers and are post up queries at the discussion board. In addition to that, of course, students can now interact with facilitators through the live chat function.

Student Bobby Winarto from Indonesia is full of praise for the e-Revision service. "The timing is perfect! I'm sure that there are many students like me who, for whatever reason, fall into the pattern of cramming for their examinations at the very last minute. But the convenience of having the revision notes and past exam papers available online will motivate me to go through them before interaction with the Unit Leader so that I can really clarify my doubts!"

"One of the advantages of the e-Revision service is that students are able to communicate directly with the Unit Leaders and lecturers to clarify whatever queries they might have at the end of the semester. The timeliness of the e-Revision session is extremely beneficial to students as the sessions with lecturers and facilitators occur when should be completing their revisions for examinations. This is certainly more useful as compared to having the sessions at the start or middle of the module" said David Wang, Director, Informatics Academy.

Informatics Academy looks forward to continue playing an active role in students' learning process through the e-Revision service. To thank students for their continuous support, Informatics Academy is happy to offer the promotional rate of USD 70 for any first 2 modules registered.
