A “College of Firsts”, NJC once again showed that
it is constantly reinventing itself to meet the changing demands
of preparing its students for an increasingly knowledge-driven
world, this year NJC embarked on an innovative initiative
to enhance teaching and learning across the school. Using
an integrated Knowledge Management solution to facilitate
documentation, categorization and sharing of Knowledge, NJC’s
goal was to enhance the performance of the organization and
hence improve student achievement and preparing them for future
Higher Education.
“We
are evaluated by how we prepare our students to meet the demands
of an ever changing world, a world that is no longer driven
by tangible assets but by intangible knowledge assets - ideas,
information and expertise. We wanted to build a platform that
would allow these intangible assets to be effectively utilized
for the benefit of students and teachers,”
says Mr Manu Kapur, HOD (IT)
NJC turned
to Relevanz to co-develop Singapore’s first Knowledge
Management Solution for Schools. Relevanz’s solution
distinguishes itself as the most integrated and user-friendly
KM solution specially built for the educational institutions
