Studywiz Mobile Games debut at GESS 2009

Available to primary and secondary students; Studywiz Mobile Games provide a whole new level of interactivity and connectivity to learning within the safe and secure Studywiz learning environment that can be accessed by students wherever they go.

Since launching Studywiz Mobile last year, Studywiz is now the only Becta approved learning platform with a dedicated mobile learning interface for mobile devices including iPhone, iPod Touch, EeePC and Nokia N800. The games are the latest development to the newly optimised Studywiz Mobile interface.

Studywiz Mobile Games allow students to learn in an environment they can relate to, and in a medium with which they are familiar. The game results can be automatically fed back into assessment and reporting modules within the Studywiz learning platform and students can benefit from instant feedback and self assessment.

Thomas Hennessy, Vice President International Schools, Etech Group commented, "Studywiz Mobile is providing learners with a new level of interactive involvement with the educational games. The game concepts will be on show for the first time at GESS 09 and will signal a new way of learning through handheld devices. Getting learners involved and engaged in their education and providing them with resources that they can relate to, is the key to raising standards in education."

"GESS 2009 and the Global Education Forum are providing educational professionals from across the Middle East with the opportunity to discover the latest ways that technology can positively impact education. We know that visitors to Etech's stand at GESS will be excited by the Studywiz product and its implications for enhanced mobile learning," said Sue Rothwell, Group Event Director of Fairs & Exhibitions who organise the events.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai and with the support of the Emirates Foundation, will be held from March 10-12 at the Airport Expo Dubai.
