VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of "Mobile TeleSystems" OJSC, gladly
announces providing students willing to obtain new skills and
qualifications with modern tools of learning. The videoconference hall
and the smart board provided by the Company to the International Center
for Research and Education in Agribusiness will serve the purpose.
The Internet is a perfect means to secure a virtual learning
environment. Distance learning model is one of the tools for that. It
allows students learn in a foreign university while staying at home.
Owing to the support by Armenia's leading telecommunications operator,
the online education project generated in partnership with the Texas
University that was once only a plan envisioned by the center is now
a reality. VivaCell-MTS has invested more than AMD 8 million into
equipping a videoconference hall and obtaining of other equipment.
Professional equipment to provide HD audio and video quality,
monitors and a video camera distantly controlled by the instructor
provide imaging that allows making the virtual auditorium look as
realistic as possible. The HD quality guarantees naturalness of
the voice, which lets minimize the feeling of distance, organize a
face-to-face discussion and get maximum information. The first live
video conference was organized with the Texas University. The center
now also has a smart board and a projector.
"The Internet widens the learning opportunities. I believe the live
distance learning tool will change students' set of mind and behavior.
It will let the young people be more independent, more result oriented
and responsible, while the instructors by the monitors on the two
ends will provide the required advice. The virtual cooperation
between the universities of various countries will help form wider
worldview. It is equally helpful in terms of comparing and correlating
the mentalities and cultures of various nations. We strive to make all
the information resources available to the students," said VivaCell-MTS
General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
Armenia's leading telecommunications operator believes the
technological solutions and the online learning opportunities are
well on demand to provide quality education.
