The Ministry of Education (MOE) today has introduced the Digital Educational Learning Initiative Malaysia (DELIMa), a refresh of its digital learning platform for teachers, educators and students. The ministry added the platform is also a collaborative effort with the tech industry’s major players including Google, Microsoft, and Apple.
DELIMa offers applications and services required by teachers and students within the Malaysian school system such as Google Classroom, Microsoft Office 365, and Apple Teacher Learning Centre. MOE explained that the platform was envisioned with the aim of having digital learning accessible to all via a multi-technology ecosystem, providing students the ability to learn at any time regardless of location, and paving way for digital transformation in Malaysia.
