    Visitors to the fully rebuilt WISE website (http://www.wise-qatar.org) will

discover the WISE ed.review and WISE ed.hub tools, dynamic platforms where

audiences can read about the most innovative developments in global education,

as well as directly discuss prevalent and emerging trends.

    WISE ed.review features especially chosen reports addressing the most

relevant and pressing issues in education; offering leading education

practitioners, opinion leaders and other audiences, insights and trends from

around the world. Taken from sources in five languages (English, Arabic,

French, Spanish, and Chinese), this rich resource tool also includes exclusive

blogs, reports, videos, and articles on innovative education practices. Along

with a daily summary in English, a review of the week's top international

stories is provided in Arabic.

    Among the original content available on the WISE ed.review, there are a

series of EduDebates, which bring together thought leaders from around the

world to debate the most relevant issues - from technology and the role of

teachers, to STEM and STEAM, and game-based learning.

    An online extension of the WISE Summit, the community-led WISE ed.hub

service promotes innovative education projects and practices that have had a

transformative impact. This provides grassroots practitioners around the world

with a platform through which they can interact, share best practices and find

solutions to common challenges. A dedicated moderator is available on the WISE

ed.hub to bring practitioners together and guide the discussions.

    Commenting on the launch of these new services, H.E. Sheikh Abdulla bin Ali

Al-Thani, Ph.D., Chairman of WISE, Qatar Foundation, said: "Today WISE launches

new services aimed at informing, connecting and inspiring education

change-makers. I'm convinced that people working on building the future of

education will be eager to explore new thoughts about education coming from

different parts of the world on the ed.review. I also know that all education

innovators are looking to collaborate further, get ideas, and find solutions. I

hope that the ed.hub will help them achieve these objectives."
