“Touch Teach and Learn” – Apple Strategy Update – 觸控、教學、學習 － 蘋果策略提昇
In 2009 HTMi established the first International Hotel School-based Research and Development Centre, setup to research and develop iPod Touch applications for hospitality education, training and operations. Since the establishment of the Centre, we have embarked on a strategy of “Touch, Teach and Learn” so that the Apple iPod Touch technology becomes an everyday part of life, learning and teaching at HTMi. Following very high investment in software and hardware resources the benefits to students and teachers are starting to grow, with the emergence of HTMi Applications for use on Apple iPod Touch.?
在2009年HTMi首度成立第一所擁有研究發展中心的國際飯店管理學校，並將iPod Touch設備與飯店教育、訓練和管理做結合，自從此項企劃完工後HTMi將Apple iPod Touch成為學生日常生活中的一部份，透過觸控按鍵，師生即可教學和學習。這樣高投資於學校的軟硬體設備，有助於師生的共同學習和成長。
In 2010 HTMi recently sent a senior management delegation to the Education Leadership Conference 2010 in Prague organised by Apple, with the intention of sharing best practice of its technology uses in education. This conference enabled HTMi’s launch into the international community of education providers that use Apple technology to improve teaching and learning. A further major announcement on the development of the “Touch, Teach and Learn” strategy at HTMi will be made at the Marriott in Zurich in June 2010.?
在2010年的近期HTMi派參訪團去布拉格參加由Apple主辦的教育訓練會議，此會議在於分享如何將科技與教育訓練做最棒的運用和結合，HTMi藉由此科技可以將授課及學習都提升到最高效益，此外HTMi將於2010年6月於蘇黎士分享與Apple iPod Touch的成果發表。
