everything from cutting edge classroom technologies...to university campus wi-fi... to eLearning tools...to video conferencing...to the back-end infrastructure needed to support it all. Plus exhibition visitors can attend free seminars.

What is Edu TECH

EduTECH is Australasia's largest annual education technology conference and exhibition. In 2014, EduTECH will host 9 conferences, 8 masterclasses, 5000+ attendees, official event dinner for 800 guests, 200+ exhibitors and free seminars for exhibition visitors.

EduTECH is the only event that brings together the entire education and training sector (primary, secondary, tertiary, higher education and workplace learning) plus libraries, plus government, plus suppliers...all under one roof. 

Who's who of education

To name a few who are attending the Edu TECH will provide the level of this conference. Ken Robinson, world's biggest name in education and creativity (UK), Prof. Sugata Mitra, Prof.  of Educational Technology, New Castle University (UK), Conrad Wolfram, Director of Strategic and International Development, Wolfram Research Inc., Dr. Diana Oblinger, President and CEO, Educause (USA), John Burgin, VP, Cognizant and many other stalwart will get into the thing of action. 

Integrating Australia with Asia

 It is believed that many questions are expected to be answered in this spectacular gala of education in which mavens of education will interact, discuss and brainstorm on various issues. In recent years, we have seen an over hype of how globalisation & digitisation are re-shaping higher education & training. But is the higher education & training ecosystem in 2014 radically different than what it was in 2013?

Let's look at MOOCs – While 2012 was called as the year of the MOOCs, soon enough 2013 became the year of the backlash of the MOOCs. What will 2014 be called in regard to MOOCs?

What does globalisation of higher education & training mean? Is it dissemination of knowledge on a global scale at one end? Or is it simply getting more overseas students at the other end? Or opening more international branch campuses?

What then is the state of higher education & training on the ground in US, India, Hong Kong, Chile, Australia and other countries – especially in regard to impacts of Globalisation & Digitisation? Don’t get bother over these enigmatic questions. Join on 4 June at Edu TECH 2014 in Brisbane for the Integrating Australia with Asia Conference on how globalisation & digitisation are re–shaping Higher Education & Training.

Listen to and get your questions answered from prominent leaders from a number of countries and understand higher education/training environments in various countries strategize on how best to participate in higher education/training opportunities in other countries assess student exchange, faculty exchange & joint research opportunities understand education technology partnership opportunities internationally Or simply to network with over 5000 education practitioners attending EduTECH.

Why You Should Not Opt For IIT Bombay

This article is written by IITians in the blog Actors Imran and Anushka during a cultural program at IIT Bombay If asked to compare IIT Bombay to IIT Delhi, most students say that the difference is negligible. Both are in metropolitan cities with good options for hostels, PG accommodations, food and entertainment. Cultural activities are equally good as is the faculty and study methodology. Even placements at the two IITS are amongst the best in the country. Yet figures indicate that the top JEE rank holders prefer Computer Science Engineering at IIT Mumbai rather than IIT Delhi. But, we are here to tell you when and why you can avoid IIT Mumbai. Mumbai IIT was earlier placed in the suburbs, away from the crowds, giving IITians the space and peace to pursue their career goals. Today the area in Powai is surrounded by high rise building, malls and traffic snarls, bringing with it all the clatter and patter of a metropolitan hub. Just like the population and popular
