SINGAPORE - More tuition centres have adopted high technology as part of their educational aids.

One such centre, A Tick for That!, spent $50,000 to incorporate the iPod Touch as one of its teaching aids.
Students who sign up for a six-month course will be provided with an iPod Touch pre-loaded with their school homework and past-year exam papers - doing away with students having to lug heavy 10-year-series books, worksheets and textbooks.

Another tuition centre, Voice Works Learning Centre, also relies on computers as educational aids. The centre said students find it easier to retain information when computers are used.
