MyKnowledgeMap speaks out in Berlin

Rob Arntsen, managing director of web-based knowledge systems provider, MyKnowledgeMap (MKM), will present a case study at Online Educa Berlin's pre-conference forum, on 29th November, focusing on 'Lifelong Learning - Policy and Practice in the UK'. At this forum, which precedes Europe's pre-eminent online learning conference, Arntsen will be joined by other UK learning providers, including Microsoft UK and the Open Learning Centre International.

'Lifelong Learning is promoted by the European Union as the core strategy to reach the goal of the 2000 Lisbon agenda,' Arntsen explained. 'By 2010, Europe should become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth, with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion.

'With our pioneering e-Academy designs and state-of-the-art e-learning delivery systems and content, MKM is powerfully placed to offer forum delegates the chance to learn more about initiatives for lifelong learning, and how we are embedding ICT into our clients' learning strategies,' he added.

The forum will be followed by the Online Educa Berlin conference (29th November to 1st December).
