Sept. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Following an overwhelming flood of entries, UniServity (www.uniservity.com) is delighted to announce the winners of this year’s coveted Online Learning Awards. Created to seek out and reward shining examples of best practice in the use of technology to transform teaching and learning, the awards were open to over 3,000 UniServity schools, with winners up and down the country and even abroad!

Building on UniServity’s twelve years of experience in the education sector, the Online Learning Awards recognise the proactive ways in which schools have utilised their online learning solutions to extend learning opportunities for their pupils. For the first time this year, schools were asked to submit a video entry showcasing the ways in which they use UniServity’s online learning solutions to create a sustainable impact upon learning.

Competition was especially tough this year, but scooping the main Online Learning Award and the prestigious ‘Innovation Prize’ – substantial funding from UniServity to support innovation and creativity in online learning – was Hallow Primary School in Worcestershire. The school will also receive an engraved trophy and framed certificate in recognition of their outstanding achievement!

There were some extremely imaginative entries, with the County High School in Cheshire being presented with the prestigious ‘Best Entry’ Award, closely followed by runners up Sandbach School in Cheshire and Sacred Heart R.C. Primary School, Bolton. County High School will be presented with funding to support innovation and creativity in online learning with both of the runners up receiving supply cover to support innovation and creativity in online learning. All will also receive an engraved trophy and framed certificate as a reminder of their outstanding achievements!

•   Simon de Montfort Middle School, Worcestershire
•   Kiangsu Chekiang College International Section, Hong Kong
•   Greenvale Infant & Nursery School, Medway
