Coverage from the two-day e-merging, e-learning conference being held at the Abu Dhabi Men's College. The UAE Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Shaikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, is reported as embracing new learning technologies. "Through e-learning, you can educate yourself in your own time and at your own pace. You don't have to leave your country to pursue your education anymore." More from Gulf News. E-Learning in the Emirates takes on a new flavour, the sign of an emerging industry, as this coverage of Hilton University shows. For more on this conference, don't miss Jay Cross's reports at Internet Time - great detail, and some wonderful photos. Cross has also set up a blog especially for the conference (and I'm pleased to welcome, possibly as a result, my first subscriber from Qatar).
