National Star College Open Day... An Open Day with a difference

On Tuesday 30th March the National Star College will be hosting an open day with a difference. As well as promoting all of the courses on offer at the College and the services they provide, they will also be showcasing the innovative ways in which the College uses technology.

The College, which has been awarded Technology Exemplar Status, will be demonstrating things such as Wii gaming for physiotherapy, the use of eye gaze technology, mobile learning and much more.
