Technology in Action is a week-long residential Open University course which will take place in Britain next May. The course concerns itself with how we use technology in our everyday lives and it is designed to appeal to people who might like to follow a course of study in this field but are unsure where to start. It's a tasting session where students have the opportunity to sample laboratory work, tutorials and field trips with a bit of fun thrown in. The cost is £195 sterling and this includes accommodation. Those who successfully complete the week gain points towards an Open University degree. For further information contact the OU's Dublin office at Holbrook House, Holles Street, Dublin 2.
