Huawei Austria promotes LearnMatch in the AppGallery

Following its successful integration onto iOS and Google Play Store, LearnMatch will also be advertised in Huawei’s AppGallery for all Austrian customers. The number of Huawei device users is growing rapidly worldwide. We are therefore delighted that our LearnMatch app is promoted in the Huawei AppGallery.

What is the Huawei AppGallery?

In March 2018, Huawei launched their own official app store – the Huawei AppGallery, pre-installed on all Huawei smartphones and tablets. The Huawei AppGallery provides access to a wide range of apps. It is used by more than 420 million active users globally on over 700 million Huawei devices every month. The AppGallery offers exclusive content, free welcome gifts, special in-game events, contests, raffles and rewards for users.

Features of the AppGallery

The Huawei AppGallery has five different functions including intelligent app selection, app rankings, a Smart Manager, a professional security system and exclusive gifts. The four-level detection mechanism ensures that all supported apps can be downloaded and used safely. Through the intelligent app selection, users are offered curated and varied apps covering many categories. Users are supported by advanced machine learning algorithms to find the right apps faster. The exclusive gifts are vouchers, discount coupons and VIP privileges for Huawei and Honor users only. The various app rankings update daily the most popular downloads, the best user ratings, the bestselling and trend apps. Especially games offered in the Gallery are optimized for Huawei and Honor devices. The Smart Manager allows users to conveniently manage app updates, app installations and installation packages, and to clean up storage space.

Think globally, act locally!

LearnMatch promotion in AppGallery

Under the motto “innovate and grow with us”, Huawei are strongly committed to giving local apps and developers a prominent place in the Huawei AppGallery. We share the motto “learn where your passion is” with Huawei and are therefore looking forward to new Huawei users thanks to Huawei’s promotion of LearnMatch in the AppGallery.

comenius award 2020

COMENIUS AWARD 2020

LearnMatch recieved the Comenius Award! The jury of the European Comenius EduMedia Competition 2020 has once again awarded our language learning app with a Comenius EduMedia Seal. This time in the category ‘Mother and Foreign Language Education’.

Education in times of Corona

In 2020, 183 manufacturers, publishers, projects and authors from 14 European countries from Iceland to Cyprus had their digital educational products subjected to rigorous quality checks. Digital educational media are judged primarily on their technical and didactic qualities. A distinction is made within digital educational media in terms of Didactic Multimedia Products, General Multimedia Products, Teaching and Learning Management Systems and Computer Games with Competence-promoting Potential.

It has been a highlight of our year to participate in the award ceremony at the Chameleon Theatre during this year of Comenius EduMedia’s 25th anniversary. The ceremony has been presented via video livestream from Berlin. This enabled participants to follow the announcement of the seal of approval and the presentation of the Comenius EduMedals live and in colour. This year, Corona Special Prizes were also awarded in recognition of the special work done by many organisations to adapt swiftly to changing times.

What is the Comenius EduMedia Award?

commenius-award-2020

The Comenius EduMedia Award was founded in memory of the pedagogue Johann Amos Comenius (1592-1670). Comenius is recognised worldwide as a pioneer of popular and child-oriented education, His key focus was the systematic use of images and vividness for didactic purposes.

The Comenius EduMedia Award honours innovation and excellence within the field of digital educational media. The Society for Pedagogy, Information and Media (GPI) honours outstanding digital educational media within the field of work, education, school, culture and leisure. The awards are presented across four categories on the basis of the quality criteria of GPI’s IB&M.

We are already looking forward to the 26th award ceremony in 2021 and are confident that all participants will be in good health to celebrate their successes together.

We were voted among the best startups in the world!

LearnMatch made it into the top 5 at the 2020 EdTechXGlobal Startup Award! The innovative language learning app is once again among the best startups in the world. The award was given out on the basis of innovation and growth. 

 

 

 

LearnMatch made the grade alongside GoSkills, Perlego, MobieTrain and tiney, and now numbers among the best startups in the world. The EdTechXGlobal Startup Award is a great recognition and incentive for our whole team.

 

 

What is EdTechX Europe?

EdTechXEurope is the learning community’s largest get-together. It took place for the 8th time in 2020.  This year it was organized as an online event, due to measures relating to COVID-19. The winners of the award had to do without attending the award ceremony in person this year. The award was presented in three categories: EdTechXGlobal Scale-Up Awards, EdTechXGlobal Impact Awards and EdTechXGlobal Startup Awards. LearnMatch was nominated in the last category. Nominees were judged on two main criteria: the most significant innovation and most growth in 2019. A global panel of experts had to consider a number of key factors. This is how the finalists and winners of EdTechXGlobal Startup were decided.

 

Level up!

The innovative LearnMatch app took part in the global competition last year, too, and achieved an excellent ranking. In 2020, LearnMatch set itself the task of becoming even more future-oriented and of showing and paving new pathways in education for adults and children. ‘Making education accessible for all’ is the company’s motto, which was repeatedly recognized and rewarded by the international jury of experts. This enabled the company to exceed its ranking from the previous year and secure a place among the top 5. 

The LearnMatch team congratulates the winners in each individual category. We are looking forward to the future we share and hope that we’ll all be able to celebrate our shared successes together once again next year.
