Ajman University to Enhance Experiential Learning Opportunities for Students through Collaboration with Odoo

Ajman University (AU) has teamed up with Odoo, a leading global provider of open-source business software, to provide students and faculty members with advanced technologies and tools to facilitate experiential learning.

Through their Education Initiative, Odoo provides AU with free and unlimited access to databases for students and professors to support deeper learning of business theories and practices.

Additionally, to promote proficiency in using its software, Odoo will organize workshops for Ajman University’s professors and students and provide free access to its learning and teaching materials. Odoo will also provide Ajman University access to all educational applications, including using their “.edu” databases.

“The use of technology for experiential learning is becoming a necessity in education, constantly shaped and reshaped by digital transformation. This collaboration with Odoo will pave the way for Ajman University’s faculty and students to benefit from advanced technologies and tools to experience more practical and hands-on ways of learning. The partnership also aligns with our Center of Gravity as defined in the AU Strategic Plan 2022-27, namely the employability of all our students. Odoo’s advanced suite of applications will help AU students experience the real business world through simulation and train them for bright careers in the future,” said Dr. Karim Seghir, Chancellor of Ajman University.

“At Odoo, we are committed to supporting educational efforts as we understand the importance of equipping students with practical skills to excel in the world of work. That's why schools, colleges, and universities are turning to Odoo's cutting-edge technology. Our Education Program allows both students and teachers to combine their academic training with the immersive experience of Odoo. We are delighted to extend our support to Ajman University as we expand our Educational Program in the Middle East.
