Director at Public Institution “Baltic Education Technology Institute”

 

"The Master’s study programme in the field of Information Technologies of Distance Education taught me how to organise and deliver distance studies. I deepened my knowledge of information technologies which are necessary to the distance learning expert. During my studies I worked in the KTU E-learning Technologies Centre where I had the opportunity to advance my career successfully."

Head of Innovation Department at JSC "Educton"

 

"I represent the Educton team, creating innovative solutions for training, education and staff development in large multinational companies. Working in this field, there is a constant need to collaborate with various educational institutions as well as those responsible for the organization of training for the staff of the collective bodies. Nowadays many educational institutions use a wide range of information systems and various IT tools in their activities (study quality management systems, e-diaries, sessions planning, scheduling, accounting management, virtual learning environments, etc.). Not only is the deployment and use of specific IT tools of great importance, but also the ability to reconcile them with each other and to ensure data exchange, integration with public registers and proper use in the organization. The lack of specialists with these competencies both in Lithuania and abroad is obvious and we can only be glad that KTU study program “Information Technologies of Distance Education” helps to fill this gap by preparing the leaders of future education technologies."
