A distinguished delegation from Kainuu and Brahe Colleges in Finland, led by Dr. Charles Koech, Chief Principal of TENP, and Peninah Ogutu, Deputy Principal-Academics, recently visited the institution to explore potential partnerships in cutting-edge educational technologies. The delegation included Milka Grekula, Oskari Haataja, and Heli Mylly, experts in the fields of E-learning, Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Augmented Reality (AR).
The primary focus of the visit was to discuss how immersive technologies, such as VR, MR, and AR, can be integrated into engineering education to enhance learning experiences. These technologies offer students the opportunity to engage in more interactive and hands-on learning, particularly in fields that require complex practical applications. The use of VR, MR, and AR has the potential to revolutionize how engineering courses are taught, providing a more engaging and effective learning environment.
During the visit, the team from Finland shared their expertise and experience in implementing these immersive technologies at their institutions and explored how similar initiatives could be developed at TENP. Both parties expressed strong interest in creating collaborative programs and exchange opportunities that would allow students and faculty to benefit from the latest advancements in educational technology.
Dr. Koech highlighted the importance of staying at the forefront of educational innovation, noting that such partnerships could provide students with invaluable skills and knowledge to succeed in the increasingly tech-driven world. "By integrating these immersive technologies into our engineering programs, we can offer our students a unique and advanced learning experience that will better prepare them for the future," said Dr. Koech.
The delegation also praised the efforts of TENP in embracing new learning methodologies and technologies, emphasizing the potential for these tools to create more interactive and practical learning environments for students.
This visit marks the beginning of what is expected to be a fruitful partnership between TENP and the Finnish colleges, paving the way for future collaboration in E-learning and immersive technologies. The discussions have set the stage for groundbreaking developments in engineering education, and both institutions are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.
The partnership aims to not only enhance the learning experience at TENP but also to foster international collaboration in education, providing students with access to state-of-the-art resources that will equip them for success in an evolving global job market.
