“Students from year four onwards, teachers and school leaders will be given the official school email account hosted for free,” said Hj Mohd Yussof Hj Metassim, Acting Director of Brunei Ministry of Education (MoE)’s Information and Communication Department.

The MoE has started training users of the new email programme.

Setting up email accounts is part of the Microsoft Live@Edu Programme, which has collaborative tools for students and teachers to participate in online tutorials and discussions, collaborate on assignments, share calendars and workspaces.

MoE will also create an online Teachers’ Assessment Questionnaire to measure all teachers’ information technology (IT) skills and how well they use IT for teaching.

The results will help MoE match training courses to the needs of individual teachers, added Metassim.
