Transforming Sri Lankan Education with Interactive Multimedia Technology: The Journey to E-Lankapura

摘要

With the introduction of e-Sri Lanka project by the Sri Lankan government in 2003, many public and private sector organizations have increased their services online. As a result, there is an increasing demand for empowering the population of Sri Lanka through affordable community access to technologies and through the provision of basic computer literacy training services to regularly use ICT or e-services. Therefore, it is a national priority to provide proper guidance on basic computer usage and to obtain electronic services to young generation to make them e-citizens. To fulfill this objective, the research team of National E-Learning Resource Centre (NELRC) of the University of Kelaniya in collaboration with Information and Communication Technology Industry Skill (ICTISC) has taken a step to develop an interactive multimedia-based e-learning material to offer National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) level 2, which promotes e-citizen in Sri Lanka. As a basis for this process, storytelling concept has also been incorporated to develop an interactive multimedia-based e-learning material.
