  Microsoft, University of Virginia, Thomson Collaborate to Design New Instructional Tools
Time: 15:12 EST/20:12 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

The University of Virginia, Thomson Learning, a part of The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC), and Microsoft Corp. announce a groundbreaking collaboration to develop and deliver digital course material and tools that will help instructors better serve their students and help those students learn and retain more. The pilot project, involving the university's College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, will bring rich digital content and learning applications to Tablet PCs. It will run for at least two semesters beginning in fall 2004 and will reach more than 400 students each semester. The courses in the project are biochemistry, psychology and statistics.

The project draws on Thomson's rich library of digital content and learning applications and will be brought to students through Microsoft® software and Tablet PC hardware. The University of Virginia, with a strong reputation for adopting advanced technologies to improve education, provides the ideal environment in which to pilot the program.
