UOW research collaboration

iAccelerate has developed a three-level education program, that works with participants to take an idea all the way through to a successful business. The iAccelerate Educate Program draws on successful, experienced experts with a strong ability and desire to share their knowledge. iAccelerate has also worked with educational designers and technology enhanced learning specialists, to convert face-to-face programs, into a blended learning format.
