Learnosity wins Gold e-Learning Age Award

On Friday 12th November, I was thrilled to pick up a coveted Gold award at the e-Learning Age awards held in the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel in London.

E-Learning Age Winner

The awards, run by e-Learning Age Magazine, are seen as one of the most prestigious awards in the learning industry. They showcase the very best examples of work in the field, with winners representing everything from blue-chip multinationals to specialist start-up companies. There was almost 200 entries from 15 different countries, and so we were delighted to be shortlisted in two categories: Best Use of Mobile Learning and Most Innovative New Product or Tool in E-learning.

With so many entries, this is the most competitive year in the history of the awards. With standards so high, some categories have bronze, silver and gold awards for the first time. Learnosity was delighted to win a Gold award for Learnosity Voice in the Most Innovative New Product or Tool in E-learning category. Read more about it in the cover story of this month's edition of E-Learning Age Magazine.

Judges Comments

Implementing new technology in a school typically involves massive amounts of time, effort, and money, but the judges picked out Learnosity Voice as an impressive exception. All that students learning a foreign language require with Learnosity Voice is a mobile phone and a computer. For homework, they simply phone the system, enter their PIN, and answer questions posed to them. Completed sessions are then available for the teacher to review and students can also view the sessions online. Students feel empowered and more engaged in the classroom. They enjoy the privacy and freedom of practising oral and conversational skills outside the classroom, and gain a level of confidence that impresses teachers, who can spend more class time on cultural and grammatical objectives.
