Company to Highlight the Release with an
eBook Giveaway and Virtual Book Club Discussion on LinkedIn
ATLANTA, Georgia — August 17,
2010 — Virtual Labs may sound futuristic, but it is one of the most
innovative classroom implementations happening right now in higher education.
That’s why NIIT, a global leader in education and
talent development, announced that they have released a new eBook to assist
higher education institutions looking to overcome the challenges of increased
enrollment, attrition, and changing learner preferences. To celebrate the
release, NIIT
Enterprise Learning Solutions (ELS) Business will be giving
away free copies of the eBook to those who join their Virtual Book Club
and LinkedIn Group before September 21, 2010.
The
eBook, Transforming Higher Education - Innovative Insights on Building
Enrollment, Increasing Retention and Impacting Student
Success, is an insightful assembly of white papers by
notable industry thought leaders that highlights practical innovations that
higher education leaders can use to immediately and positively impact their
institution’s education practices, from enrollment and administration to labs,
simulations, tutoring and use of web 2.0/3.0. eBook co-Author, and Vice
President of the Higher Education Vertical at NIIT, Venkat Srinivasan will be on
hand to lead discussions on the NIIT ELS Business
Virtual Book Club on September 21, 2010.
“Today’s economic climate coupled with the
accelerated pace of change is placing more pressure on academic institutions
than ever before,“ said Srinivasan. “Keeping pace with learning trends and
technology is paramount. NIIT’s Transforming Higher Education eBook provides
many insights and practices based on our own experiences as a learning
institution. The eBook highlights practical examples of success – and even some
failures – so that learning leaders can better transform the classroom to meet
the needs of today’s students.”
