Virtual campuses, cutting edge tech: LCI moves online
Published 01/05/2020
Prospective students have been urged to continue to apply for courses with global education network LCI Education, as it seamlessly shifted its teaching provision online.
“Thanks to our expertise in online training for nearly 20 years, teachers on our 23 campuses have been able to shift to remote teaching in record time,” LCI explained.
“LCI is able to offer an efficient learning environment at the cutting edge of technology”
LCI is closely monitoring the quickly evolving situation with Covid-19 and is considering all scenarios, including the possibility for international students of taking courses online, said Diego Do Livramento, acting director at LCI Global Admissions.
With two decades of pioneering online training, LCI is “able to offer an efficient learning environment at the cutting edge of technology”, Do Livramento added.
Its current 17,000 students across five continents are able to complete their training, therefore limiting the impact on their academic careers.
In Canada, campuses in Vancouver and Montreal continue to process applications remotely, and students will be able to begin courses online from their home countries in preparation for coming to Canada, as borders remain closed.
While remote learning differs from the usual classroom student experience, LCI has strived to ensure the solutions offered will meet its customer quality standards.
Rich in media content, LCI uses user friendly technology that allows students to take a course and navigate easily through numerous interactive tools that encourage discussion and asking questions, Do Livramento continued.
LCI online courses allow students to:
- participate in audio-video conferences between the teachers and students
- learn from live demonstrations
- collaborate with others using an interactive whiteboard
- exchange ideas during presentations
LCI highlighted that international students who have obtained their Canadian study permit before March 18th and who will start the summer session online (in May or June) will not be penalized for the Canadian post-graduate work permit on an exceptional basis due to Covid-19.
Moreover, LCI Barcelona has just launched 11 masters and five practical online courses,with live classes taught by active professors. The course guarantees a “personalised follow-up through a virtual campus and numerous masterclasses with outstanding professionals”, LCI added. “All this so that the student can learn wherever and whenever they want to.”
