Title: Can technological solutions be deployed to facilitate learning? Could VET practices be enhanced through such an implementation? Abstract: In the fourth Industrial Revolution, education is increasingly based on internet technology. Those who know how to take advantage of these situations can learn and create knowledge which can be used when making the leap from school benches to the workplace (Davies, 1998). Vocational Education has become a globalized type of education, where these institutions have the role to convey their material across the globe by the aid of online courses.

Title: The prisoner experience at Verdala and St. Clement’s retrenchment during World War one Abstract: During the First World War, Malta was an excellent naval base and hospital for the Allies. However, apart from these two vital roles, Malta was also used to house several prisoners of war hailing from or allied with the Central Powers. The first prisoners in Malta were civilian internees, however as the war progressed several ex-combatants were also confined here. Over two thousand prisoners were being kept here by 1918. Verdala Camp in Cottonera provided barrack accommodation for officers, whilst St Clement’s Retrenchment and Fort San Salvatore held non-commissioned officers, common soldiers and civilian internees.

Title: Mass tourism affecting Malta and its inhabitants : an analysis based on reviews by repeat tourists Abstract: The long essay presented the results of a survey with 41 repeat tourists. The majority of the tourists (73.2% - Table 1) chose Malta as a destination on recommendation of family and friends. The pie-chart (Fig. 1) shows how many times the tourists visited Malta in percentages revealing that some repeat tourists visited the country 5 or more times. This is important as repeat tourists are the ones that usually search for more specialised products and may even attempt to take part in more environmentally-friendly forms of tourism such as trekking, hiking, and rural tourism.
