The Hon. Martin Dixon, Minister for Education, presented the award to Delphian eLearning for their App-titude initiative, which features entertaining, high-quality and educational games for students from kindergarten to year 12. Developed in partnership with Millipede Creative Development, the apps automatically send data to an online assessment system that can be configured for any learners or for training purposes. Contact us for further information.

At the recent 2011 Mobile Awards Presentations in Sydney, our first app 1 2 3 Sheep! won the Entertainment category for Children and Early Childhood Development.
