With more and more number of educational institutions opting for interactive whiteboards, there is growing clamour for the establishment of an industry standard, reports the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (http://www.atl.org.uk/).
According to the website, the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (Becta) has identified that more suppliers are offering their own products leading to compatibility issues. To address this issue, the agency has appointed Becta to establish an industry standard that can benefit all UK educational institutions.
The project is already underway with the first phase due for completion by June 2008.

With the UK government setting aggressive targets to cut carbon emissions by 60% by 2050, vending machine suppliers are striving to offset their carbon footprint with various operational procedures.
For example, vending machines from Express Vending come fitted with inbuilt power-saving facility that can reduce power consumption by up to 30%. The machinesâ special features reduce boiler temperature during slack periods such as weekends or after-work hours. Moreover, the power saving mode also helps reduce scale build-up within the boiler thereby increasing boiler efficiency.
Besides, the vending machine supplier is also partnering with waste management solution providers to enable recycling of cups used by the machine. The company also recommends the Save a Cup scheme started by the vending, food service and plastics industries to collect the millions of hard-wall polystyrene cups used in the UK every week.
Apart from making the vending machines environment friendly, the company is improving its vending fleet to cut down on carbon emissions.
