E-Learning Award for Innovative Application of Learning Technology

The prototype Signal Interface unit created by Micro-Process with software by Interactive Presentations was created for Innovative Technologies in Education Ltd.

In 2006 a variant of the interface unit won the E_Learning Award for Innovative Application of Learning Technology.

Extract from the e-Learning Awards website

"The second annual E-Learning Awards, held at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, celebrated the best that the industry had to offer.

The glittering evening was co-ordinated by e.learning age magazine and the eLearning Network and competition was fierce with twice as many companies competing for the 11 prestigious awards.

What the Award was for

Effectively, the award was for an interface unit that allows voltages, currents and resistances of a virtual circuit to be measured using real equipment. This allows users to be trained not only on the properties of circuits but to be trained on how to use REAL measuring equipment.

Students can be trained in a virtual world before being let loose on expensive real equipment.

The interface unit is driven by software written in Toolbook.
