MyKnowledgeMap and Assessment and Learning in Practice Settings (ALPS) have been shortlisted for the national 2009 e-Learning Awards for their joint submission in the ‘Best use of mobile learning’ category.

We have been shortlisted for the ALPS system, a service platform allowing tutors at five Yorkshire Universities to send assessments and supporting materials to the mobile devices of Health and Social Care students on work-based practice. 

MyKnowledgeMap worked with T-Mobile and mobile software specialist ecommnet to create the mobile assessment and e-portfolio system for ALPS. The system supports the creation, distribution and storing of assessment tools on mobile devices. It allows tutors to create assessments based around core health and social care competencies and send them to the devices of students on work-based practice.

The e-Learning Awards are organised annually by e.learning age, the national magazine for learning organisations and the eLearning network, the UK’s foremost professional association for users and developers of e-learning. This is the first year that the ‘Best use of mobile learning’ category has appeared at the Awards.

The awards ceremony is to be held in London in November and looks set to be the learning industry’s most glitzy and glamorous event of the year, celebrating the best that the industry has to offer.

We are delighted to have been shortlisted for this prestigious e-learning award which serves as welcome recognition of our innovation and excellence within the field of e-learning.
