The Bett Awards are a celebration of the inspiring creativity and innovation that can be found throughout technology for education.<\/p>\n

The awards form an integral part of Bett each year, the world\u2019s leading showcase of education technology solutions.<\/p>\n

Connect<\/a> works with partners to deliver solutions to enhance learning experiences and provide best opportunities for them to achieve.<\/p>\n

Its award-winning virtual role-play platform, C-Live, was initially developed for teacher training, using interactive technology in a virtual classroom environment.<\/p>\n

The Innovation in Learning Award is open to any organisation that can demonstrate that they have made a unique and innovative contribution to the delivery of learning.<\/p>\n

The Bett Award rewards individuals, teams, or companies which can demonstrate outstanding innovation over the past year.<\/p>\n

Susan Day, Connect\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are delighted that Connect has been selected as a finalist for The Learning Awards 2020 and BETT 2020.<\/p>\n

“Our training solution is completely unique to the UK and unlike traditional training, gives people the chance to build their confidence by practicing scenarios that they will encounter in their professional lives.<\/p>\n

“This all happens in a safe but realistic environment.”<\/p>\n

Winners for The Learning Awards will be announced at 5-star London Hilton on Park Lane on 20th February 2020.<\/p>\n
