Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) stand at the Learning Technologies 2008 exhibition

'No frills, just outstanding, world-renowned expertise’ is the theme of the Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) stand at the Learning Technologies 2008 exhibition, being held at London's Olympia on the  30th and 31st Jan  2008.

Visitors to the TIS stand at Learning Technologies this year are being encouraged to discuss their key business challenges and corporate initiatives with TIS - and benefit from a free 'e-learning consultation'.

“This year, our focus is on offering, and using, our considerable expertise in all aspects of ‘business’ to address the business challenges faced by our clients – and by visitors to our stand at the exhibition,” said Alan Samuel, head of UK operations for the global learning provider, Tata Interactive Systems (TIS).

The Bologna Accord

The Bologna Accord aims to harmonise 40 different European higher education systems by creating a single system of degrees (Bachelor and Master qualifications) within an agreed framework and with a consistent credit and grading system.

A key objective is to create a more competitive Europe by establishing a higher education system compatible with global standards.

Bologna will therefore increase the opportunities and choices of the ever growing pool of European students that currently number over 2.4 million each year.

What these students do post-Bachelor will have a significant impact for education and business.

What exactly is the Bologna Accord? To find out more, visit the Council of Europe's Bologna for Pedestrians page.

WACE and Compostela Groups

We now have the WACE and Compostela groups featured on the website;

The World Association for Cooperative Education (WACE) is an international organization devoted to promoting Work Integrated Learning (WIL) programs worldwide. WACE brings economic development specialists from more than 40 countries together with academic and corporate leaders to examine the impact of WIL on global workforce development.

WACE was founded in 1983 by a group of university presidents, educational specialists, and corporate leaders from eight countries. It is the only organization devoted to promoting Work Integrated Learning programs internationally.

In 1993, Compostela Holy Year, the University of Santiago de Compostela started contacts with other institutions of higher education located in the secular Way to Santiago. Its main aim was to establish a university network that would enable co-operation between universities in order to preserve the historical and cultural heritage emerged around this pilgrimage way to Compostela that has crossed Europe from the IX century.
