28/11/2011 21:49 | INTELLEGO HOLDINGS PLC ('Intellego' or 'the Company') PLACING TO RAISE GBP135,125 The Board of Intellego, the AIM traded regulatory and compliance focused, digital learning business, are pleased to announce that the Company has raised GBP135,125 (before expenses) through the placing of 67,562,500 new ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") at 0.20p per share ("the Placing"). Following the announcement of the acquisition of the Digital Learning Marketplace on 15 November existing institutional investors have continued to support Intellego with this placing, to help fund this initiative. As part of the placing arrangements the Company has agreed to subscribe for 21,915,229 ordinary shares for GBP90,948 in Athol Gold and Value plc, an investment company, such shares being available to be placed in an orderly fashion on Intellego's behalf at some future date. The Placing is conditional on admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares, which will rank pari passu with all existing ordinary shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission is expected to become effective and dealings to commence on or around 1 December 2011. Following Admission the number of shares in issue will be 649,019,182 Ordinary shares of 0.05 pence per share. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. Commenting on the transaction Andy Hasoon CEO of IHP said, 'Our shareholders are seeing us execute our strategy and Vision. We are delivering on a number of fronts; we have recruited a new executive team who have a proven track record of building profitable high growth companies. They are putting in place solid scalable foundations. We have re-structured our production into a cost effective, efficient, quality orientated unit. We have begun to recruit a dynamic sales force who focus on customer needs and deliver quality solutions to meet the learning objectives of our blue chip client base. The securing of the Digital Learning Marketplace is another mile post secured.' Great news! Placing above the current sp! Should see a move up tomorrow... | mike_f | |
27/11/2011 22:10 | A new era for serious games Posted by Kirsten Campbell - November 15, 2011 There is a quiet sea change occurring in companies' attitudes to games-based learning. Barely eighteen months ago there was little interest in using serious games for training outside the defence and healthcare sectors. Today, L&D professionals across all industries not to mention marketing teams, finance and recruitment specialists are all clamouring for more information on the subject. And it's not surprising, when serious games advocates like Intellego's Andy Hasoon are making claims that 20 minutes of a serious game simulation can be as effective as one hour's worth of e-learning. However, such claims are notoriously tricky to prove, so how should companies gauge whether the games-based learning approach is right for them? The power of play Serious games are generally agreed to be games in which the primary purpose of playing is something other than pure entertainment. However, most good contemporary serious games borrow heavily from entertainment video games, and this is both a strength and a weakness. The best video games are incredibly motivating and captivating, leading to high levels of player engagement and speedy mastery of content. Ask most video game players (and with the average age of players now being 35, that's a giant chunk of the working population) if games are a good medium for learning, and they say 'yes, of course'. For those of us who have grown up playing games, their usefulness as tools for learning is self-evident. But for the still sizeable chunk who don't play video games, there remains a high degree of suspicion towards this new medium largely as a result of the media's fondness for equating violent video games with violent behaviour, but also because the word 'game' itself carries an implication of frivolity that sits uncomfortably in the boardroom. Yet at Pixel Learning's recent London-based seminar on Serious Games, it was clear from the makeup of the audience that business professionals are starting to overcome their suspicions and take a serious look at the opportunities presented by games-based learning. And, indeed, with some of the claims circulating regarding the effectiveness of serious games, it would be foolish not to explore whether an immersive simulation could be a better investment than yet another point and click piece of traditional e-learning. Pixel's CEO, Richard Smith, drew our attention to a recent simulation built by Pixel for a large auditing firm for $750,000, which apparently delivered a very high ROI in just six months. Other examples include a 3D simulation for health and safety training built for engineers on the Public Transit System in Montreal: not only did test results increase from 62% to 92%, but costs dropped from $763 per employee to $300 and training time dropped by 50% (according to a report by Caspian Learning). A caveat It is very difficult to find research proving the effectiveness of any learning technology, whether it be textbooks, lectures or video game-style simulations. Roger Broadie, a Director at Naace, explains the problem: The fundamental problem is that you cannot directly link use of technology to raised scores, except in very limited circumstances such as the exam revision studies done by SAM Learning, because in normal teaching/learning the ICT is only part of the environment and a lot of other factors are in play. So you can only correlate. However, a very positive meta-analysis of research investigating the effects of technology on K-12 student outcomes concluded that "the overall effects are nearly twice as large as other recent meta-analyses conducted in the area of instructional technology." (Waxman, Lin & Hichko) So, although grand claims for the effectiveness of serious games (as with any learning technology) need to be treated with caution especially those made by developers with a product to sell there is nothing to suggest that serious games are any less effective than other delivery methods, and a great deal of anecdotal evidence to suggest that the increased engagement levels experienced by players of serious games make them a viable investment in certain circumstances. Beyond the bottom line Some learning objectives just can't be adequately met through traditional e-learning. Blitz Games' healthcare training simulation, Triage Trainer, led to 28% greater accuracy in performing triage amongst those who had played the game. A more leftfield example is the game ReMission, which was successful in encouraging young people with cancer to take their medications. If a learning objective would be best met by learners engaging in real-life actions or decision-making, but the costs or risks of doing this 'on the job' are too high, then a simulation can be your next best option. An environment that simulates the stresses and challenges of real life but which provides space for 'safe failure' can be a great way to raise attainment in anything from negotiation skills to handling dangerous goods. Serious games are also highly suitable for trainees with low motivation for learning, or those on a training course that already contains a lot of e-learning or traditional learning. Serious games/simulations are particularly good for teaching strategic thinking, decision-making in real time, or for practising complex activities, and provided costs can be contained (there tends to be a lot of 'scope creep' with games unless they are well designed at the outset), they are a viable option for delivery. Business is booming Perhaps the clearest sign that serious games are here to stay is the growth in UK firms specialising in their design and development. There are industry hotspots in London, Dundee and the Midlands (where firms cluster around Coventry's Serious Games Institute an independent research body with a growing network of outposts around the world). The UK has a number of highly-respected university courses in games design, and there is an ever-increasing number of graduates and professional developers with the skills necessary to create games engines that are both robust and flexible enough to meet the growing need for multi-device deployment. As companies develop and refine reusable games engines, and rapid development tools like Pixel learning's Netbeans product become more common, the cost of building a viable serious game comes more within the reach of small and medium-sized businesses. Good design is the key to success But as serious games designer Helen Routledge asserts: a serious game is only as good as its design. Instructional designers with game design expertise are vital to the development of a good educational game, and this is why companies are increasingly turning to providers like LINE to guide them through the design process. The technical expertise to build a games engine is one key ingredient, but equally important is the ability to apply the principles of excellent game design to complex and sometimes dry material. Ask your instructional designer if they enjoy playing games in their spare time if the answer is no, it may be time to reconsider your options! LINE is using our growing in-house expertise in serious and educational games to explore a variety of game-based offerings with our clients. Get in touch if you'd like to know more. | mike_f | |

15/11/2011 08:02 | Great news! Acquisition of Digital Learning Marketplace The Board of Intellego, the AIM traded digital learning business, is delighted to announce it has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding ("MOU") to acquire an investment in the Digital Learning Marketplace ("DLM") project from Milamber Limited. There are two phases; development and commercial exploitation. Development - the DLM is being built as a revolutionary new learning platform intended to allow Corporations, SME businesses, and professionals to access their day-to-day and future learning requirements with the goal of helping them improve their business performance. The Directors of Intellego believe that the DLM will be the first source of truly personalised learning giving users the ability to create their own focused courses in affordable blocks, built from materials supplied by a diverse range of providers. It will enable the owners of learning content to trade and monetise their learning assets. Participants in the project include Pearson Education (19%) and Ashridge Business School (6%). The DLM is designed to have global appeal, with engaging content available in small "bite-sized" units that are easily accessible, and affordable. The Consortium partners will (pro rata to their respective interests in the project) receive a GBP740,272 grant from the UK Government's Technology Strategy Board (TSB) ("Grant"), such is the importance of digital learning to the future education needs within the UK, to provide funds to help the Company finance the development of the DLM platform. The Consortium partners have agreed to match- fund the Grant giving the project a total investment of GBP1,498,224. Commercial exploitation - the DLM is expected to be fully operational in 2013, in the interim there will be limited scale commercial trials and testing. The proposed arrangements comprise an initial investment of up to GBP160,000 to secure a majority interest in the project during the two year development stage followed by Intellego's option to maintain this interest into the exploitation stage. If for any reason Intellego decides not to exercise the option then Milamber has undertaken to buy-back the Interest from Intellego for an amount equal to Intellego's investment save for the first payment of GBP40,000. Milamber, in which Andy Hasoon is a 21% shareholder, (Intellego's CEO and Director) owns a 6.86% interest in Intellego (40,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.05p). Accordingly, the transaction is a Related Party Transaction as defined by the AIM Rules. The independent Directors of Intellego (being all the Directors with the exception of Andy Hasoon) having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, consider that the terms of the MOU are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned. Angus Forrest, Chairman of Intellego said: "The investment in the DLM is our first major transitory move into being a pure digital learning provider. We are excited by the opportunity, that Andy Hasoon has brought to us, which has the potential to transform Intellego into a global player, and consider that the transaction provides a structured approach for Intellego Shareholders to participate in that opportunity". Andy Hasoon, CEO of Intellego said: "As the education market aligns ever more closely with online content and learning, the DLM has created a strategy which will ensure it remains the leader of this exciting and revolutionary step change. We promise our customers around the world that we will provide the most comprehensive, relevant and enjoyable learning experiences available." | mike_f |
