Ingram State Technical College E-Learning Center Opened for Inmates
State Sen. Cam Ward holds a digital tablet, one of 60 tablets purchased by Ingram State Technical College for use in a new E-learning Center for Tutwiler inmate students, Thursday, August 20, 2015, in Wetumpka, Ala. The digital tablets will be used for an innovative pilot educational program and were purchased by Ingram State Technical College from Edovo, which specializes in the learning devices for prisons. The 60 tablets were purchased for $25,000 through a request for proposals. The price includes access to adult education courses and other learning content through a secured server. The tablets cannot access the Internet.
Tutwiler's E-Learning Center includes seven desktop computers tied to the same closed network as the tablets and a larger "smart board" for a classroom type setting. The Ingram State Technical College Foundation gave almost $60,000 in private funds to outfit the E-Learning Center in what was previously a classroom for a commercial sewing course.
