Hot Spot Education Highlighted at the Frankfurter Buchmesse

One of the highlights at Frankfurt Book Fair which starts next week is the “Hot Spot Education” zone in Hall 4.2.  This part of annual Frankfurter Buchmesse aims to bring education providers and prospective customers together, helping to showcase new developments in the fields of innovative teaching and learning tools.  The focus will be on distance and e-learning but there will be more than “just a nod” to traditional teaching methods.
