The collaboration between the Ph.D Program in Education: Technologies in Learning Systems at the Open University and Microsoft Israel had been launched in a special event. The event, attended by doctoral students and faculty members of the program, was led by Eyal Halperin, May Itzhak, and Benny Atia, to whom we extend a huge thanks on behalf of the Open University for the professional, educational, and interesting hosting. Their investment and enthusiasm made the event special.

During the event, impressive educational tools and resources were presented, sparking great interest among the faculty and students. We are all excited about their potential to transform the education system and the way education is researched in general.

Microsoft tailored the lectures precisely to our audience, answered all questions with great patience and insight. The warm and kind environment, including the campus tour and the overall atmosphere, made the visit an unforgettable experience.

We see great value in the collaboration between academic research and industry expertise in advancing the world of education and technologies in learning systems. We believe it can create a greater impact in this field.

We received many tools and valuable information that can assist Ph.D students in their research, information that will take on pragmatic meanings for them.
