Lingo Media, an EdTech company providing innovative online
and print-based technologies and solutions, this morning reported that its
subsidiary, ELL Technologies Ltd., and eDistribution SAS, an online education
services distribution company in Colombia, have secured a multi-million dollar
language learning software development contract in Colombia. The agreement
positions both parties to significantly increase learning and professional
opportunities for as many as 7 million citizens 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 focused on the development of
education as means to foster employment.
Per the terms 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. By gaining the ability to pick, choose and adapt learning programs and
their components, educators can 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,” Gali Bar-Ziv, president and CEO of ELL
Technologies, stated in the news release. “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.”
Laura Victoria Zabala J., eDistribution´s CEO, noted the
importance of multilingualism in Latin America, as well as on a global scale.
“Multilingualism has become a real necessity in our
interconnected and globalized world,” she stated. “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.”
Mario Javier Rincón Triana, special and institutional
project coordinator for SENA, explained how the agreement is of particular
importance for his organization.
“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,” he said.
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.”
