For colleges and universities, the sudden shift away from traditional classroom spaces has upended typical teaching tactics.

Article | October 7, 2022

After a busy exam season, students up and down the country look forward to long summer vacations, hopefully with a trip or two!

Gale Primary Sources, an online database of digitised primary sources, allows you to explore your cancelled holiday destination in a virtual way – from the safety of your own home! Personally, I’d planned to go to Marseille in June, which is a historic city in the South of France well known for its Roman and medieval architecture and ruins. Instead, I had a really fun afternoon exploring Marseille by delving into some rare and quirky primary sources – and you can go there with me in this blog post!

Google Lens working on a step-by-step math problem solver

Article | July 27, 2022

In this ‘APK Insight’ post, we’ve decompiled the latest version of an application that Google uploaded to the Play Store. When we decompile these files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we’re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are may be imperfect. We’ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they’ll look in the case that they do ship. With that in mind, read on.

VR Education 's ENGAGE platform builds momentum

IBM | June 19, 2020

The online student market especially will be perfectly suited to the immersion and remote aspects of VR, says CEO Dave Whelan. Even before its integration into the Oculus Go headset, VR Education’s Apollo 11 experience had already been downloaded more than 120,000 times and generated over €1mln in revenue for the group.
