The Isle of Wight College has been named best in the UK for Innovative Use of Technology by the Further Education Marketing Network. The college’s entry, entitled ’The Prospectus in Your Pocket’, focused on the in-house design and implementation of mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phone platforms. The software contains course information drawn from the college’s website, and allows students to apply using their mobile device.
Aaron Bentley, Website/App Designer and Jamie Adams, IT Technician/App Developer, were delighted to be presented with the Gold award at the ceremony at Bracknell Hilton. Aaron Bentley said “The College Marketing Network’s Further Education First Awards are incredibly popular and well respected, and to have our hard work recognised at a national level is just fantastic!”
