IBM unveils IT education in India

IBM has unveiled an education programme that it said would enable IT professionals and students to come to India and receive IBM certified training, reports Business Standard.

To avail of this offer, an individual needs to register for a course from the IBM Power and IBM System Storage Curriculum, the company said in a statement.

All visa formalities, tickets and accommodation requirements are arranged and facilitated by an IBM training partner, the company added.

Train by Cell, a mobile technology training provider, has said its training solutions are now available on all smartphones such as the iPhone and BlackBerry, states TMCnet.

Company officials said employers can create new methods of training while still being able to constantly communicate with and train staff.

The attraction of mobile devices and their uses in the training industry has grown steadily over the years.

In an effort to make its vast collection of digital educational resources available for in-class use, PBS has unveiled the PBS Digital Learning Library, a comprehensive source of digital video, still images, audio, games, and interactive simulations for teachers to use to augment their lessons, says The Journal.

Drawing from its archive of full-length series and specials, PBS has created a diverse collection of shorter video and audio pieces edited specifically for teachers to integrate into lessons on a broad array of subjects.

In addition, member stations throughout the PBS network will use the library, including their own locally produced and targeted material, to develop content especially for their respective local and regional education communities.
