  • Fact Sheet: National Education Gaming Championship 2015
    Fact Sheet: National Education Gaming Championship 2015 28 Jun 2015 What is the National Education Gaming Championship (NEGC)? The NEGC is an inter-school gaming competition organised by the Ministry of Defence and supported by the Ministry of Education. It offers students an opportunity to learn about the 3rd Generation Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and its capabilities in a fun and engaging way. First organised in 2010, this is the fifth NEGC. What is the official game used in NEGC? Virtual Battlespace 2 (VBS2) is the official game used in the NEGC, and is currently used by the SAF for training. VBS2 provides a virtual environment for players to go through a wide range of military scenarios from a first-person shooter perspective. The players will get to try out many weapons used in the SAF, such as the Singapore Assault Rifle 21, Section Automatic Weapon, General Purpose Machine Gun and Man-portable Anti- Tank, Anti-DooR (MATADOR). Apart from the SAF, VBS2 is currently used by other militaries including the United States Army, the United States Marine Corps, the Australian Defence Force, and the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence for mission rehearsal, tactical training and simulated combined arms exercises. Why is NEGC being organised? NEGC is an engaging way for youths to find out about the SAF and its capabilities, ranging from what it takes to be a fighting fit soldier to the technological capabilities of the 3rd Generation SAF. Through playing VBS2, participants not only have fun but learn that teamwork, having a healthy competitive spirit and fulfilling their 1 individual roles are key factors in winning the game.

  • Summary Paper Title in Times Roman 16Pt, Upper Case, Bold and Centred
    PARTICIPATIVE LEARNING WITH G-SCANNER AND iDE'LITE Mrs Wong-Tay Buay Kee SH/ICT/CW-BR Mr Lee Tse Yew LT/ICT/CW-BR Proceedings of the 5th International CDIO Conference, Singapore Polytechnic, Singapore, June 7 - 10, 2009 ABSTRACT Participative learning enables students to actively shape and share their learning experience, in achieving the goals of reflection and transformation. The learning process is accelerated through e-learning as students are able to learn better with audio and visual multimedia elements. Some problems do arise with e-learning that was not present in textbook learning though. They are: e-learning navigation are not intuitive; students are lost in the maze of information, students losing attentiveness and concentration after staring at the computer monitor too long, students are unable to link up the information properly with the topics and sub-topics. Most students prefer a handy hardcopy textbook for quick overview and reference. Staffs from the Info-Comm Technology Department of ITE College West have created a technology enabled “Interactive Book” concept to capitalize on the advantages and eliminate the problems. Students are able to draw out internet or movie from the text or picture prints in their textbooks by pointing it with an electronic device called a G-Scanner with software application which the dept has created to provide the interface on the computer. By pointing the G-Scanner on any text or diagram in the booklet and the computer will retrieve and display the multimedia explanation. For practical sessions, students are able to log into a web portal known as iDe’Lite.

  • Is Part of the National Infocomm Competition 2010 (NIC) Under the Secondary School and Junior College Circuits
    National Olympiad in Informatics Fact Sheet National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) is part of the National Infocomm Competition 2010 (NIC) under the Secondary School and Junior College Circuits. Synopsis of Competition The National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) is an annual competition organised by the School of Computing (SoC), National University of Singapore, since 1998. It is modelled after the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), the ultimate international competition in computing. (Informatics is the European term for computer science.) NOI emphasises creativity in problem solving on the one hand, and programming skill and expertise on the other. NOI consists of a four-and-a-half hour session in which each contestant is required to individually solve and program a solution to each of the five to seven programming tasks. The solutions are judged according to their correctness (i.e., whether they produce the correct answers) as well as their speed of execution (i.e., producing the answers within a time limit). The actual time spent on programming is not taken into account in the evaluation. Each contestant works on a PC and is given a choice of programming language (Pascal, C or C++) to use. Target Audience This challenge is open to the secondary schools and junior colleges. Each school may register at most 5 students. Scoring system The judging system is automated. Every task (problem) contains a number of test data sets. Each submitted program is run by the judging system, and its output, to be generated within a time limit, compared with the correct answer. Each task has a maximum score of 100.

This Conference Proceeding is posted at Research Online. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/ceducom/112 Yek, T. Institute of Technical Education, Singapore. Technical Education 2020 in Singapore: Better Quality, Higher Performance and More Choices through a Market Approach Tiew Ming YEK ITE College West Institute of Technical Education, Singapore E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article aims to create a vision for technical education in Singapore in the year 2020, and the likely outcomes in terms of quality, performance and choice. Singapore is today one of the world‘s most globalised nations and it has achieved notable economic success. The current technical education system with the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) as the principal provider can be considered highly successful after more than 40 years of development. By analysing the evolution of a contemporary governance model employed by ITE and juxtaposing it with growing global trends in school choice, privatisation and marketisation, there is reason to expect further changes in institutional governance towards more empowerment and use of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) approach to promote greater engagement of the private sector.
