Sunny Scots' dull quest

Article Abstract:

The Electronic, Photonic and Information Control Centre of the University of Abertay Dundee has launched a project designed to help end the frustration that bank customers feel when they find themselves unable to read the screen on an outdoor cashpoint because of the glare produced by sunlight hitting the screen. The centre is collaborating with the Department of Trade and Industry and the National Physical Laboratory for the research, which aims to establish techniques to measure and evaluate various aspects of displays, including contract, reliability and pulsed light.

Scots bet on ILAs in lifelong learning bid

Article Abstract:

The Scottish Executive plans to merge the further and higher education funding councils, relaunch individual learning accounts and develop fresh approaches to quality assurance as part of its five-year strategy to boost lifelong learning. The changes to the existing system are designed to promote lifelong learning not only through educational establishments but through work as well, and will include pilot business learning accounts which will enable small businesses to meet training needs.
