The region’s premier education exhibition catering to students, universities, corporate training institutes, education technology providers and investors, is gearing up for its 2007 edition with an expanded didactic technology segment to address the growing demand for new technological options to facilitate learning. The Technology and Didactic Materials segment (Gulf Education & Training Equipment & Technology), which debuted in GETEX 2005, has been increasing in exhibitor strength and visitor number year on year as Middle East education providers seek to adopt interactive and customized solutions to education and training. GETEX 2007 will be held at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre (DIEC) from April 11th-14th 2007.
“GETEX 2007’s Technology & Didactic Material segment has been considerably expanded to keep abreast of market needs. Successful didactic technology implementations ease the transition to an education philosophy where instructors become facilitators and conduits for knowledge, helping learners acquire knowledge with while varying the pace of learning to suit their capacity,” said Anselm Godinho, Managing Director, IC&E.
“Didactic technology’s true potential lies in its customizability. By placing control in the hands of the student, it allows autonomy where learning is accomplished in ways that best suit the learner. The influx of world class education institutes in the Middle East have led to an exploration of contemporary paradigms of knowledge dissemination, resulting in a willingness to invest in effective ICT tools for training and learning,” he added.
In its third year of showing, the Gulf Education and Training Equipment & Technology Segment has emerged as a definitive forum for public and private sector buyers from the education and corporate training sectors to source the latest in learning technologies and didactic material. The 2006 edition of GETEX’s didactic technology segment hosted a UNESCO delegation exploring potential investment into learning delivery systems for the Iraqi and Jordanian education sectors, and also saw sustained interest from Qatari and Saudi Arabian representatives.
Supporting the changeover from teacher-centered to student-centered environment GETEX’s didactic segment is hosting exhibitors form all over the world that are showcasing modern teaching aids, ICT-driven rich content, collaborative environments and interactive learning tools.
It will also host its Corporate Training & Human Resource Development that debuted last year, and reprise its traditional role as convergence point for high quality universities and students looking for tailored academic options. GETEX’s Concurrent Conferences, which gained tremendous support from the regional Academic & Corporate Training fraternity last year, are also returning in expanded format.
