Welcome to our website

As specialists in high-quality educational consultancy and professional development, we provide focussed support for school improvement, inclusive education and ICT - to benefit all children, young people and enhance the experiences of educational professionals.

Improving schools and organisations is a complex, dynamic and continuous process - there are no quick fixes. We have a proven track record of effective support, working in partnership with educational professionals in schools and other organisations to promote high quality learning experiences for children, young people and professional educators. Our IT products include Apps for desktop and smartphone platforms as well as Apps for early learning.

Exploiting the potential of ICT for education

Making use of podcasting and other Web 2.0 technologies can enhance and enrich the learning environments and communities for children, young people and educational professionals alike.

Examples include our mobile version of this website, the podcast directory, our Online Learning Studio and our educational apps for busy educational professionals as well as our series of early learning Apps for young children. See fulll range of our Apps in the App Store.

The iOS version of Ed-Reader for the iPhone® 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch® and iPad (in iPhone emulator mode), is available on the App Store.

The OSX version of Ed-Reader Pro, which works on Mac® desktop and laptop devices running OSX 10.6.0 or higher, is now available on the Mac App Store.

Our series of Colour My Shapes early learning Apps for the iPad® are designed for early learning and use with young children from two years of age upwards.

Colour My Shapes and Colour My Shape & Count are available in the App Store. Both Apps run on iOS 4.3 and 5.0 upwards.

Each App within this series are intuitive, simple to use and includes four different challenges - using colours and basic geometrical shapes as well as objects young children will readily identify with from groups of basic shapes.

These products illustrate our commitment to exploiting the educational potential of Web 2.0 technologies - such as weblogs or blogs, bookmarking, podcasts, RSS feeds, wikis and other forms of “many to many” publishing, such as course management systems for virtual learning environments. Our e-Learning weblog: Anytime, Anywhere Learners explores some of the topical innovations and issues from an educational perspective.

One course programme from our own VLE is Podcasting Basics. The course is freely available at our Online Learning Studio where you have guest access to the 10 planned sessions. Other professional course programmes will follow.

On our website you can also view, evaluate and use the UK's first and best podcast directory for educators, schools and colleges. This provides access to a wide range of audio, enhanced and video podcasts produced by schools as well as a wide range of organisations. Listed podcasts are carefully selected, quality assured and categorised into educational sectors and the main subject areas.
