Enabler and Accelerator for e-Learning

After graduation from university, I started my career as a consultant in IBM Hong Kong. With deep understanding on the value of consulting and e-Learning marketing landscape, I decided to engage schools to start their e-Learning journey. I truly believe e-Learning could help deprived students to get through cross-generation poverty.  

We started with pilot project model with 3 public sector primary schools. We did the 3 iPad eLearning Pilot Projects between Feb and June 2013. Top-down engagement approach was used and we secured principals' buy-in before we signed an agreement with them. The engagement cycle varied from 2 months to 4 months in order to get a signed agreement.



In the project, we usually assume the roles as:
  • Teaching Consultant
    • Conduct teacher training for using iPad as mobile learning device. Usually we cover 10 common iPad apps to start with. 
    • Co-plan lessons with teachers to integrate iPad with T&L activities. This will be down to a learning module in a subject of a class level (e.g. primary 4 Mathematics - module on learning "Area").
    • Conduct rehearsal with teachers to boost their confidence.
  • Technical Advisor
    • Setup e-Learning environment, e.g. Wifi Access Point, Wifi screen projection, tablet application, user account, cloud storage, etc. 
    • Setup of Learning Management System (LMS) like Edmodo and Dyknow.
    • Resolve technical problem arisen.
    • Provide advice to school on infrastructure upgrade. Develop infrastructure upgrade plan with school.
  • Strategy Consultant
    • Define and implement communication plan with parents and key stakeholders.
    • Identify learning trends and opportunities for school. Shape e-Learning roadmap with school and its key stakeholders.
    • Provide advice to school board and e-Learning task-force.
  • Project Manager
    • Manage project scope, schedule, and resources. Report progress to stakeholders and resolve issues during project execution.
    • Report progress to stakeholders.
