I learned about the Institute for Information Industries when they brought me in to Taiwan to run my game design workshop and a mobile design workshop, and lined up a couple of talks with companies as well. (It was a great opportunity; I’d welcome more such!) They’re a government-sponsored supporter of information technology in Taiwan, and their coverage area includes eLearning.
They’ve now released their 2nd eLearning Insight newsletter (even if it is labeled #1 :), and if you are interested in Asian eLearning, it looks to be worth investigating (it’s in English). There’s a link to subscribe at the bottom.
As the opinion pieces say, Taiwan’s got a burgeoning eLearning industry, and they’ve got some people doing some very interesting things. I remain impressed with Tak-Wai Chan, one of the leaders in intelligent tutoring systems research and Director of the Research Center for Science & Technology for Learning at the National Central University. They’re also looking at establishing and maintaining links with Korea and Japan.
Check it out!
I’m interested in eLearning from both a k12 and corporate point of view. This newsletter applies to both. Thanks so much for the information.
