Mumbai, March 23, 2020: TCS iONTM, a strategic unit of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, announced that in the wake of nation-wide lockdowns of schools and colleges, it is offering access to the TCS iON Digital Glass Room, a virtual learning platform, free of cost to educational institutes across the country. Using this, educators and students can connect in a safe, secure virtual environment, moving lessons from classrooms to interactive digital glass rooms.
The TCS iON Digital Glass Room is a mobile and web education platform for schools and colleges, that empowers educators to engage with students in real time by sharing lessons, videos, worksheets, assignments and assessments, using interactive methods like polls, debates, quiz, surveys and many more tools.

“These are unprecedented times. With schools and colleges shut down across the country, we want to empower these institutions and help them switch to a virtual mode, so students’ learning journeys can continue uninterrupted on our platform. I do hope large numbers of public and private institutions will take this opportunity to use technology to overcome the disruption,” said Venguswamy Ramaswamy, Global Head, TCS iON. “Our longer term objective is to encourage self-learning and to enable the Indian education system to transition to a digital era where teaching and learning know no physical boundaries.

So you’ve decided to put on a virtual event, but the question of how to produce a quality virtual event that will attract your target audience and decision makers is the big question.
Content is King But Engaging Speakers Are Key
Like traditional events, content is even more important in a virtual event because viewers are able to walk into your event as fast as they are able to head for the virtual doors.
Our team recently sat through 20 plus virtual events and we can tell you that successful events are always rich in quality and engaging content. However, the best events seem to have one thing in common: engaging speakers.
Hunting down a speaker who is truly an expert in their field is one thing, but finding a speaker who is also engaging is a key tactic that is often overlooked by producers of virtual events.
Invest in Paid Promotion
Look, you wouldn’t spend thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars on a physical event without a promotion plan. Just like a traditional event, your virtual event should include a willingness to spend a few dollars on promotion.
Build a virtual event promotional communications plan that utilizes digital marketing, email marketing, and social media promotion. Don’t just post an event on your social media channels, sponsor the post to reach your target audience.
Choose a Platform with Innovative Interaction Capabilities
Deciding which platform to use for your virtual event is equally as important as the content you produce. Think about the times you’ve walked into a physical event and actually were wowed by the look and feel of the event. The same can be said for virtual events that deliver quality video, audio, and interactive experiences to viewers.
Delivering quality video, audio, and interactive experience really does matter!

The damage from Covid-19 to hotels may not be over once the Government greenlights a return to travel, according to creator of smart pest systems, Spotta. The UK-based company reveals dormant bed bugs will live around a year without feeding, waiting for hotel guests to return.
“If your hotel had bed bugs before lockdown, you’ll find them again when you reopen,” says Robert Fryers, CEO at Spotta. “With a life span of more than a year, bed bugs are experts at conserving their energy when there’s no food available. And they’ll be hungry when your guests return.”
Confirming Spotta’s warning to hoteliers, Dr Richard Naylor, director and chief entomologist at The Bed Bug Foundation, says: “As we’ve seen with ski chalets closed for months during their off-season, I expect the first overnight guests in hotels post-Coronavirus closures will be met by hungry bugs.”
Naylor advised that while bed bugs are known to dislike light, rarely coming out during the day and hiding in the darkest places of hotel rooms such as under mattresses and in headboards, dormant bed bugs will awake from their slumber with an almost insatiable hunger.
He warned: “If they’ve been dormant for months, bed bugs will be highly aggressive, particularly when it’s dark. If really hungry, they may also lose their phobia of light. This means bed bugs are much more likely to bite when a host returns.”
As part of their Coronavirus recovery planning, hotels should allow time for identifying and treating bed bugs before reopening to guests.
But it’s not all bad news for hoteliers, according to Naylor: “Bed bugs are unlikely to be transmitted between buildings as people’s movement is restricted. Whilst dormant, the bed bugs also won’t be moving around your business, so you’re likely to find them where they were before shutting your doors. Having known infestations treated by specialists is key to providing your guests a safe environment to return to, whilst monitoring systems are a good way to ensure guests won’t get savaged as the bed bugs awake looking for a feed.”
Adds Fryers: “Bed bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide their potential host breathes out. They also like heat. To try and trick them into wasting their energy looking for food, you can up the heat in your rooms. However, we don’t advise hoteliers to take this route due to the monetary and environmental costs of heating an empty room. Instead, investing in a smart monitoring system and working with your pest controllers to treat any infestations are key.”
