How the Da Vinci Institute is pivoting online with the cloud and FuseForward [promoted]
Update: 2020-11-11
Description
In this promoted episode of the podcast, TechCentral chats to FuseForward MD Premie Naicker about the proof of concept the Amazon Web Services partner is doing is involved with at the Da Vinci Institute.
FuseForward, a Canadian company founded in Vancouver, opened its first office in South Africa about 18 months ago. It saw an opportunity to open an office in the country to coincide with the launch of Amazon Web Services' data centres in Cape Town.
Education is a big focus for FuseForward and its contract with the Da Vinci Institute is significant, Naicker says in the podcast.
Da Vinci's executive dean for research and institutional partnerships, HB Klopper, joins Naicker on the podcast to discuss the proof of concept and the impact it has had, especially during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Taking remote, online-based education into home or into remote areas presents real challenges, Klopper says in the podcast, but the potential is there to amazing things using modern, cloud-based technology.
But pivoting to online education is not simply about recording lectures and delivering these online, says Kloppers. Rather, there needs to be proper interactivity with students to ensure a rich exchange of ideas, which then facilitates learning.
Naicker and Kloppers discuss the best practices coming out of solutions implemented in online education during Covid-19 and where the sector is going.
