Lenovo Phils. takes e-learning to the next level with Edvision
THE Philippine government and the private sector must work together to achieve educational digital transformation on a national scale.
In an e-mail interview with the Businessmirror, Lenovo Phils.’ President and General Manager Michael Ngan said the company is ready to help and support the national government in improving the digital infrastructure of the education sector by creating tools available and accessible to schools, teachers and students.
For Ngan, one major challenge that needs urgent action during this time is the education sector’s transition to online learning: “This unexpected shift has exposed schools to vulnerabilities, which left teachers and students at some disadvantage, and could have longterm impacts on the future of our children and the future leaders of our country.”
Furthermore, he pointed out that the education sector needs more support at this time to ensure students receive the same quality of education, as they have shifted to online learning.
Through its Edvision program, in collaboration with Microsoft, Lenovo will offer schools the tech tools and solutions that help students and teachers quickly and smoothly adapt to online learning. According to Ngan, the program aims to equip the new generation of teachers and students with the tools to harness their potential in teaching and learning online, which will enhance the country’s educational system in the long run.
“Edvision also helps schools accelerate digital transformation and uplift the overall global competence of students for the more digitized future,” he said. “Lenovo can provide the necessary technical training to both teachers and students, apprenticeship opportunities, as well as platforms to open discourse in the education sector, such as [the Edvision Summit we organized].”
Lenovo recently held its Edvision Summit to facilitate a platform for educators to share their experiences and best practices in education transformation under the new normal, still delivered in close collaboration with Microsoft and powered by Intel vpro. The summit allowed educators to exchange ideas and learn ways to better prepare students to excel in the digital world with the latest teaching technology solutions and services, enabling flexibility and agility.
Lenovo first launched the Edvision program in 2020 to empower educators with smarter technology, deliver innovative education solutions, and provide best-in-class devices and services for e-learning.
