I’m excited about this tie up with RiiiT. The concept of RiiiT is unique and excellent. This focuses more on concept based learning than product based learning. The concept is good as it teaches ICT as a tool and not as a subject. Everything in the future will be blended learning with conventional and computer based.

Teacher training is the key for education. Every teacher has to have IT skills to enable education with latest technology. I’m glad that RiiiT is providing the Teacher resource material; we are keen to take this into other parts of Asia.
