On Thursday last Learnosity, in conjunction with Enterprise Ireland, and The Consul General of Ireland Mr. Patrick Scullion hosted a cocktail reception at The Consul General's private residence, The Penthouse of The Grace Hotel in Sydney.

The event was to celebrate Learnosity's success in the Australian market, and to launch the preliminary findings of the project we recently completed with The Le@rning Federation. Stuart Tait, General Manager of The Le@rning Federation, presented the preliminary findings of the project.

We were also lucky enough to have one of the teachers involved in the project, Tim Rodgers from Victor Harbour South Australia, along with Gayl O'Connor from The Le@rning Federation fly to Sydney for the event to share their experiences.

More about The Le@rning Federation project:

The Le@rning Federation's (TLF) Mobile Applications for Language Learning (MALL) project embraced the ubiquity of mobile phone usage by students, and piloted the delivery of Indonesian language learning by means of Learnosity's voice technology. This trial has been undertaken by The Le@rning Federation and teachers and students from thirteen schools in three states: South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria.

The event was a huge success, and was very well attended by senior educationalist across New South Wales, including representatives from the following organisations:

• NSW Board of Studies
• The Le@rning Federation
• Catholic Education Office
• Association of Independent Schools
• NSW Department of Education and Training
• Pearson Education Australia
• Australian Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations (AFMLTA)
• Open High School
• Modern Langauges Teacher's Association of New South Wales
• Asia Education Teacher's Association (AETA)
• Japanese Teachers Association of NSW
• NSW Association of French Teachers (NAFT)

We'd like to thank everyone for taking the time out to participate in the event. The preliminary results of The Le@rning Federation MALL project were enthusiastically received by all attending.

We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank The Consul General Mr. Scullion, along with Eimear and Maria in Enterprise Ireland for their help in hosting the event.
