Scottish university takes online learning to Iran - WILLIAM LYONS, the Scotsman

Interactive University (IU), the Edinburgh-based e-learning firm, has expanded into Iran after signing a contract with an education centre in Tehran to supply business courses. It is expected the programme, written by Heriot-Watt University and developed by IU, will generate revenues of up to £400,000 within three years.... Launched in October, IU has expanded into more than 40 countries and now has 60,000 "local learning partners", or students, providing more than 4.5 million learning hours per annum. It has defined six target sales regions - South East Asia, China, India, the Middle East, Africa and South America - and plans to have about 100 partners on board within the next 12 months.
