BlikBook is an online platform used in higher education to enable improved student engagement. As of October 2013 is estimated to be used in more than a third of universities in the UK and all Irish universities. Founded in 2010, BlikBook is a platform which connects students and their lecturers in Higher Education based on what they are learning.〔 ==History== BlikBook was co-founded in 2010 by Cheyne Tan, Barnaby Voss, Deepak Colluru and Ben Hall. It emerged from a research project at London Business School (LBS) and University College London (UCL) which focused on how students learn and engage with content. The concept for BlikBook was developed whilst the founders were studying some difficult lecture material. Unable to get the answers to their questions without contacting a number of their peers and eventually the lecturer, they became motivated to create a more efficient process for students and lecturers to interact outside of the lecture theatre 〔 .〔 〕 In 2011, Rene Olivieri, former CEO of Blackwell Publishing, COO of Wiley Blackwell and current Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) board member, joined as Chairman of BlikBook.〔 BlikBook is a multinational business with offices in Dublin and London. It was originally founded in the UK, but relocated its head office to Dublin in August 2013.〔 The move followed a €1 million funding round from mainly Irish investors, Leaf Investments, Delta Partners and Enterprise Ireland.〔 This was the second round of investment for BlikBook, having received initial funding from investors, including Forward Investment Partners 〔 and Rene Olivieri, in 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BlikBook」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
