[not] First Transnational E-learning Course in the Study of Terrorism

noviembre 13, 2006

As national and international terrorism continues to dominate the news and political debates, Informa has joined forces with the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence at the University of St Andrews to offer the first transnational e-learning course in the study of terrorism.

The course content provides participants with a sophisticated introduction to the fundamental issues that lie behind the terrorist threats of today. This includes how and why terrorists plot against individuals, governments, corporations, commercial operations or air, marine and mainland transportation services. It offers professionals an understanding of the motivations, methodology and modus operandi of the various strains of terrorism, which should better inform organisational security strategies.

The course is designed to offer an information rich, yet flexible e-learning course that enables individuals to have access to knowledge and expertise at the touch of a button any time of the day, wherever they are in the world. Participants interact with their own personal tutor as well as collaborate with fellow course practitioners in the virtual classroom. What’s more, they gain access to the Jane’s Terrorism & Insurgency Centre website which provides up-to-the minute news and analysis on terrorist activities and incidents from around the globe.(leer más…)
