Bucharest (RO), January 2009 - (by Elena Lita) SIVECO Romania, a major eLearning content provider, and SANAKO, leaders in live learning technology, have partnered to launch a digital science lab that provides practical approaches for teaching most natural sciences including Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Physics.
Study Science Lab, an innovative multimedia solution, allows schools to transform any PC classroom into a state-of-the-art science lab. The solution includes interactive multimedia content for simulating science experiments, along with essential classroom management tools to help teachers monitor and support students as they engage in tests.
Officially launched during BETT Show 2009, held at the Olympia in London between 14-17 January, SANAKO Study Science Lab is a convenient digital learning tool that is pedagogically sound and makes it easy for teachers to convert a regular computer classroom into an interactive science lab simply by downloading and launching the appropriate digital learning unit for students.
Study Science Lab allows teachers to combine digital simulations with real classroom demonstrations of the same experiment, helping students to reinforce their theoretical knowledge by engaging in accurately simulated experiments in a safe environment. The digital delivery ensures that teaching time is extended, as there is no need to setup and maintain multiple sets of physical apparatus.
The scientific experiments are facilitated by AeL Science Lab, the interactive digital content developed by SIVECO Romania. AeL Science Lab digital content comprises hundreds of interactive learning objects that will encourage students to take part actively in the learning process. Available in biology, chemistry, physics, and math, the AeL Science Lab digital content provide realistic tools that allow students to observe important scientific and mathematical principles at work.
"SIVECO Romania is a reference name in the development of interactive educational content. The partnership with SANAKO, a company that delivers educational platforms worldwide, represents an opportunity for us to strengthen this position and to demonstrate the value of the Romanian eLearning at the international level", said Otto Zelch, Line of Business Manager at SIVECO Romania.
This highly motivating and interactive software engages students and provides teachers with essential classroom management tools to help differentiate and personalise student learning as they engage in experiments.
The unique combination of class management software and SIVECO interactive multimedia learning content allows schools to invest in new or expanded science lab facilities at an affordable price. This valuable software package ensures that schools can use their existing PC infrastructure to its fullest potential by adding science subjects to the repertoire of lessons taught in them.
At the same time, educators can achieve teaching goals by ensuring that each student is exposed to practical reinforcement of classroom theory by using the interactive multimedia learning material to conduct realistic lab experiments. The solution means that school authorities no longer have to contend with replenishing the expensive equipment, chemicals and other supplies needed to cater to the practical element of science courses.
