Axiom partners TRCN to train 500 teachers on strategies for blended learning

Axiom Learning Solutions Limited has partnered with the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) to train 500 teachers virtually on strategies for blended learning.

The training which was sponsored by the Charles Bebeye Ndiomu Foundation provided teachers with new skills and multiple learning delivery methods needed to respond to the learning crisis created by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Charles Bebeye Ndiomu Foundation is a non-government organisation that was set up in remembrance of Major General Charles Bebeye Ndiomu (Of blessed memory) and the foundation is managed by Vetiva Trustee.

Taking the teachers through the training module, Olubukola Adebonojo, faculty director and co-founder, Axiom Learning Solutions Limited defined blended learning as the education that combines online educational material mixed with online interaction, modern teaching methods, and the traditional classroom setting methods which require the physical presence of both the teacher and students.

Adebonojo said that blended learning also allows students to have control over time, place, path, or pace and there are different types of blended interactions that includes; learner-learner interactions, learner – teacher, learner – classroom, learner – content interactions, and learner – environment interactions.

She grouped the merits of blended learning into; flexibility, effectiveness, futuristic, collaboration, self-pace, accessibility and availability, costeffectiveness, and evaluation and assessment.

She noted that blended learning can be more effective and promote connection, engagements, track learning, guide, and nurture world-class students when there are concepts that are to be considered when integrating it into the educational system.
