Press Release: Middlesex University Selects Talis Aspire as its Reading-List Solution
Middlesex University valued the advanced functionality of Talis Aspire. And the large numbers of existing university customers distinguished it from others.
Talis Education Ltd, a leading provider of learning technology solutions, is delighted to announce that Middlesex University has selected its Aspire reading-list application. With Talis Aspire teachers and administrators can easily create and manage reading-lists whilst students have simple, authenticated access to curated learning resources.
Mike Hallas, Assistant Director of IT Support at the university commented:
‘Talis provides an intuitive, flexible reading-list system, and the company has a clear commitment to continually developing the product, which fits very well with our development plans.’
‘Reading-lists are a small, but essential, part of a wider strategic initiative of putting the student at the centre of what we do – wherever the student is.’ he added. ‘And providing a diverse group of students with a single point of access to their reading-lists was central to our decision.’
Dave Errington, CEO of Talis Group Ltd said:
‘We’re delighted to be working with Middlesex University to help thousands of its students access their reading-lists. With Talis Aspire, learners have a fast, easy way to access learning resources and to connect with their teachers.’
He also remarked:
‘Talis is the perfect partner for Middlesex University. Its high numbers of distance learners, coupled with the fact that many students are based outside the UK, makes it essential for them to get the support they need through technology. Something that Talis is well-placed to provide.’
