04 October 2010
One of SCIE's e-learning resources on dementia has won second prize at the recent Jorum Learning and Teaching Competition. The Open Dementia e-learning Programme – Living with dementia, was voted into the top 10 by judges, and was then placed on the Jorum Community Bay for a public vote.
Colin Paton, Senior e-learning Project Manager, collected the prize at The Association for Learning Technology conference. He says:
We are extremely pleased that for the third time in four years SCIE's resources have been awarded a prize in this prestigious competition, which is judged by national e-learning experts. Such national recognition assures us that we are on the right path in terms of e-learning design.
Our Open Dementia e-Learning Programme is aimed at anyone who comes into contact with someone with dementia and provides a general introduction to the condition and the experience of living with dementia. Living with dementia is just one of seven resources in the programme.
