Forum on eLearning for Defence and Security

A Forum on technology-assisted training for defence, security and emergency services at Online Educa Berlin.

Wednesday, November 28, 2007, Hotel InterContinental Berlin

Technology is changing the world of security. In an increasingly inter-linked global security environment, new threats and challenges have created an urgent need for imaginative new responses. Nowhere is this more true than in the area of education and training where technology is bringing new advantages and opportunities.

Following the success of two previous conferences on eLearning for Defence and Security, "The Third International Forum on eLearning for Defence and Security," will review the new training challenges facing today's security and emergency services, assess the impact of new technology and consider the potential for future development.

"The Third International Forum on eLearning for Defence and Security" will be held at Online Educa Berlin on November 28 and hosted by The New Security Foundation. The Forum, which will once again bring together leading figures from government, business, security and academia, will consist of a main plenary session and a number of "breakout" workshops focussing in detail on key issues.

Themes for discussion at this year's Forum are likely to include:

• Security review and the importance of training
• Developments in technology
• Technology-assisted learning in the security sector
• Legislation, regulation, licensing and standards
• Technology and in-service training
• Gaming and excercising
• Security awareness
• Information security
• Crime against Business - new security training
• Intelligence and the evolution of information
