UKS, in cooperation with its technology partner Giunti Labs will be showcasing its ‘localised’ version of Giunti Labs’ learn eXact Suite at this year’s Online Educa Berlin 2007 Conference and Exhibition.

Online Educa Berlin 2007, to be held in Berlin from November 28 to 30, 2007, is set to be the key event for the international technology-supported learning and training industry.

An excellent line-up of top international experts will cover a range of key topics, bringing together their knowledge and experience from various backgrounds.

UKS is the Middle East’s leading learning solutions enabler and Giunti Lab Europe's leading e-learning and mobile learning content management technology provider.

“UKS decided to localise the learn eXact LCMS software for the Middle East region in the wake of increasing awareness of the need for a powerful learning content management system and digital repository to store, manage and retrieve learning objects,” said technical services manager, UKS, Ayman Al Kurdi.

More importantly, using UKS’s Arabic user interface, learners and tutors can view all the features and tools in the learn eXact Learning, community and content systems, from right to left - according to the orientation of the Arabic written language, in addition, users and administrators can choose the Arabic Language Pack so that they can work in their preferred language.

“UKS’s IT team will ensure that Giunti Labs’ advanced LCMS will be seamlessly implemented and integrated into an institution’s existing infrastructure,” added Al Kurdi.

“We’re expanding our presence in the Middle East with UKS - and, this year, have made several important client acquisitions in that market such as Al Ahliyya Amman University (AAU) in Jordan and King Fahd University for Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said CEO, Giunti Labs, Fabrizio Cardinali.

In addition to exhibiting at Online Educa, UKS's higher education division manager Carlos Garcia will be presenting a paper titled: ‘Full Scale Implementation of a Blended Educational Model at Al Ahliyya Amman University’, at the accompanying conference.

The paper sets out to highlight the steps necessary for the successful adoption and implementation of a blended model of education in a university environment. – TradeArabia News Service
