On the 14 May 2008 the WebPA project received a bronze award at the IMS
annual Learning Impact conference and Summit on Global Learning Industry
Challenges. Nicola Wilkinson and Peter Willmot where there to represent the
WebPA team and collect the award.
The Learning Impact Awards (LIAs) recognise the use of technology to improve
learning. WebPA were the only UK entry among the twenty-three finalists who
exhibited. Each of the entries were evaluated by an expert panel of judges.
All entries had to give a five minute demo, to the twenty three groups. The
WebPA team were able to impress the five judges as well as the sixth (all of
the Learning Impact attendees, who collectively formed the sixth judge).
In addition to receiving an award, the WebPA tool was named ‘Best Assessment
Support’ for the ‘best in category’ awards.
