The Comenius EduMedia seal and medals for ICT based media education have been awarded for the 17th time in a ceremony on Friday, 22nd June 2012 in Berlin.
The online game “The Big Brain” was developed in the scope of the European project „Virtual Stages Against Violence“. It has received a Comenius EduMedia Seal in the category „Online Games with competence fostering potential”.
The Comenius-EduMedia Award has been awarded every year since 1995 by the Gesellschaft für Pädagogik und Information e.V., Berlin, Deutschland (Association for Pedagogy and Information e.V., Berlin, Germany) to publishing houses, authors and educational institutions in Europe and worldwide. The Association for Pedagogy and Information e.V. awards are the most important German and European awards for exemplarily ICT based education media.
We are very pleased about this award and would like to thank all the project partners for the excellent collaboration. One great thank goes to the Austrian online game developer Webducation (www.webducation.info/), that has developed the online game together with the project team
