Dialog Axiata brings education to your computer screen

Sri Lanka’s largest mobile services provider Dialog Axiata PLC has introduced eTeacher, a web based education portal which allows subscribers to follow tuition classes conducted by popular lecturers via the web from any place at anytime, without the hassle of travelling during peak traffic times.

The eTeacher web based education portal can be accessed by subscribers who have access to the web. However Dialog customers who have access to Dialog mobile broad band get the additional benefit of using the service without being charged for the amount of data streamed during the promotional period.

By using eTeacher students don’t have to sacrifice sports practices and extracurricular activities due to tuition classes as the on demand video lectures are available 24/7, 365 days of the year for reference.  The portal will also help students and parents to cut down on travel time during peak traffic times during late evenings.  

Prospective students can register to the education portal by dialing #445#. Once registered the monthly subscription fee could be added onto the monthly Dialog bill.  

The portal would also save time and money for students who normally would have to travel to city and town centres to attend tuition classes. These online classes would also be competitively priced than attending a live lecture and can be viewed from a location of your choice. Year five scholarship examination, mathematics, science, accountancy, economics, physics, chemistry, Sinhala, Tamil, English, business studies and law entrance would be amongst the courses that would be made available on the eTeacher online educational portal.

The eTeacher lecture panel would include poplar tuition lectures such as Upul Shantha Sannasgala, Ajith Nandalal, S.S Ananthan, K. Kalharan, M. Rajapakse, Sanjeewa Dharmawardhana, Danushka Medawatte, Rakitha Jayathunga, K. Sothilingam, S. Premnath, T. Rajaratnam, K.K Uthyakumar, M.R Fahumdeen, K. Kalaichellvan, Imran Hasheem and Dillion Anthonys.

“eTeacher is part of Dialog Axiata’s long term evolution into ICT value added services business,” Supun Weerasinghe, Group Chief Operating Officer at Dialog Axiata PLC said.

“The eTeacher education portal would give students instant access to quality education content without any geographical or time constraints making it the ideal tool to bridge the knowledge gap in Sri Lanka.”
