 <\/p>\n

UGANDA<\/b>: The falling cost of fibre-optic cables offers a fascinating insight into technological progress in the host country of eLearning Africa 2014 (LINK<\/a>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

EU<\/b>: MOOC hype is a fact in the e-learning sector \u2013<\/i>\u00a0but astonishingly, one third of Europe’s 4,000 universities have never even heard of them! It’s part of a digital divide across the EU that the European Commission is anxious to address, launching several projects to do so (LINK<\/a>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WORLD<\/b>: why shouldn’t corporate e-learning appeal to a wider audience? asks Christian Kuhna of Adidas. Why shouldn’t companies’ internal online courses become MOOCs? (LINK<\/a>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UAE<\/b>: where are the largest user bases for YouTube located? On the Arabian peninsula. No wonder flipped learning is manifesting itself there in such innovative forms (LINK<\/a>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AUSTRALIA<\/b>: it’s difficult setting up an online university \u2013<\/i>\u00a0and government regulation can get in the way. Many countries have a cap on maximum student enrolments that rules out the creation of massive online courses. The removal of this cap in Australia led to the creation of Swinburne Online, a successful Public-Private Partnership (LINK<\/a>)<\/p>\n

and in other news…<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SAUDI ARABIA<\/b>: it is a much-repeated misconception that Eskimos have rather a lot of words for snow. Saudi Arabia, however, genuinely does have over 300 types of dates, each with their own texture and flavour: and 150 of those types are represented at OEB’s exhibition!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GERMANY<\/strong>:\u00a0Today is St Nicholas’ day, when Germans everywhere eat chocolate out of shoes and dress up as 4th-century bishops. A special greeting to all children, coopers, sailors, fishermen, merchants, broadcasters, the falsely accused, repentant thieves, pharmacists, archers and pawnbrokers at OEB: St Nicholas is your patron saint!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
