LINGO MEDIA'S ELL TECHNOLOGIES & EDISTRIBUTION SAS AWARDED MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT IN COLOMBIA, SOUTH AMERICA
Lingo Media Corp.'s subsidiary ELL Technologies Ltd. and eDistribution have secured a multimillion-dollar language learning software development contract in Colombia.
eDistribution has selected ELL Technologies to provide a full suite of digital education resources to the National Training Service ("SENA"), a Colombian national public institution under the Ministry of Labour focused on the development of education in order to foster employment. Through this landmark agreement, eDistribution and ELL Technologies are poised to significantly increase learning and professional opportunities for as many as seven million citizens in Colombia.
Under the terms of the agreement, ELL Technologies in partnership with eDistribution, is currently developing lessons, learning objects and digital resources which SENA will implement into its learning management system. The ability to pick, choose and adapt learning programs and their components will empower educators by allowing them to supplement, complement and enhance their coursework and in-class training.
"SENA has taken a most progressive and innovative approach to learning English and other languages by structuring their program to fit the many different learning environments and requirements to further establish Colombia as a truly bilingual nation," says Gali Bar-Ziv, President & CEO of ELL Technologies. "We are very excited to deliver the digital learning content and user experience to Latin America's leading educational institute, positively impacting language education and employment opportunities in Colombia and throughout Latin America."
"Multilingualism has become a real necessity in our interconnected and globalized world," says Laura Victoria Zabala J., eDistribution{i? one-half �}s CEO. "Through this partnership, eDistribution and ELL Technologies will provide the most technologically advanced and expansive digital content library of all the eLearning programs to be used in Colombia, and will be an example for educators and governments throughout Latin America to establish new educational standards."
"In the context of Colombia, SENA aims at the improvement of foreign language levels of the Colombian people and SENA's bilingualism project is particularly important since it has become necessary to boost both the quality and the competence of our learners. Finally, the use of digital content has become SENA's benchmark in the implementation of best practices in the teaching and learning of foreign languages," stated Mario Javier Rinc{i? one-half �}n Triana, Special and Institutional Project Coordinator for SENA.
