e-Taalim

e-Taalim has recently established a partnership with the international Research Unit on Advanced Learning Technologies and Services for Education and Learning (ASK) in Greece. ASK, as part of the Department of Digital Systems of the University of Piraeus in Greece, has been conducting research on Advanced Learning Technologies and Services for Education and Learning for 10 years. This prestigious unit was founded in 2000 by Prof. Demetrios G. Sampson, Associate Professor at the Department of Digital Systems of the University of Piraeus and Chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Learning Technology.

As media partner, e-Taalim will promote the activities and projects undertaken by ASK including international events such as the International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT) which is held this year in Sousse, Tunisia 5-7 July.
