International Symposium on Integrating Research, Education, and Problem Solving: IREPS 2011
There is a growing academic and societal need for the integration of academic activities among themselves and with Society, including private and public sectors. An increasing number of academics have noticed the importance of integrating Research, Education, and Problem Solving among themselves and with societal and corporate real life problems. Information and Communications Technologies enabled different ways of supporting these kinds of integration processes. Informing Science is at the heart of academic activities (research, education, and consulting).

Putting Together your Sales & Marketing Strategy for 2011
AIR FORCE RESEARCH LAB EVENT VISIT
For those of us who had never been to this training laboratory, the experience was fascinating. For those who had been there before, it was still very interesting. The only difficult part was finding the training lab.
We must thank Dee Andrews, PhD, who planned this event for GAZeL. Also thanks to Penny Bullington, Dee Andrews’s assistant for setting up the details and providing the Chinese lunch. The meeting opened with Alex Devereux, President of GAZeL, making announcements and welcoming everyone. While we were eating, Col. Dan Walker gave us an overview of the facility and the simulation training that takes place there for the Air Force pilots. We saw a video about the facility, the training and the Air Force in general. Then we were given a tour. I do not have pictures to go with this brief summary because we were not allowed cameras, cell phones or even purses on the tour.
Learning technologies in the spotlight!
The Association for Learning Technology's annual conference, ALT-C 2008, brought together over 700 delegates and more than 100 speakers from all over the world. Catherine Dhanjal reports on some highlights from the conference.
Here are some highlights from the ALT conference: a report on two presentations from the business sector, and a fascinating seminar on the divide between businesses who use internet and communications technology (ICT), and those who don't.
