PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 19, 2008 -
Emerald InTouch (http://intouch.emeraldinsight.com), a secure online networking environment specifically designed for collaborative learning, has been nominated in the “Educational & Learning Export Product of the Year” category at this year’s World of Learning Awards held at the Paragon Hotel, Birmingham, UK, on 19 November 2008.

Delegates at the World of Learning Conference, NEC, Birmingham, 19-20 November, are invited to visit the Emerald Group Publishing Limited stand G20, where staff will be on hand to demonstrate the multiple functionalities of the InTouch.

For instance, registered users can set up their own virtual learning environments, build communities and share knowledge online with the help of wikis, blogs, rss feeds and other web 2.0 applications.

As the world’s leading publisher of management research, Emerald designed InTouch to provide global communities of researchers, academics and practitioners with their own online networking platform in order to facilitate the conduct of research and the dissemination of ideas.  

Christina Tattersall, Product Manager at Emerald, comments: “We are delighted that InTouch was nominated at the World of Learning Awards. InTouch is very powerful and fast becoming a tool of choice for the promotion of knowledge as the number of users worldwide grows steadily.  This nomination is an acknowledgement of all our efforts to support education through a combination of high quality research and cutting-edge technology.”

This year, InTouch was presented at key events around the world, including the e-Learning Conference in Africa. It has recently been updated with a new interface and new technologies to improve the overall user experience.

To celebrate its World of Learning Awards nomination, Butterfly cakes will be served at the stand throughout the conference.

Conference delegates are invited to join the World of Learning community on InTouch by freely registering their profile on http://intouch.emeraldinsight.com. They will be able to access four full-text articles selected from the Emerald collection of online journals.
