Vision Education with two new clients: Oxford University Press and Berlitz Japan

We have some great news for you! VE with two new clients: Oxford University Press and Berlitz Japan.  The partnership is part of our SAAS (Software as a Service) model. Both providers rely on our world-leading and highly flexible technical platform.

What convinced our new education partners?

“Our technical platform, on which our two own apps “LearnMatch” and “LearnMatch Business” are also operated, convinced our new customers,” says Manfred Kastner, founder of Vision Education. With the successful concept of flexibility and the extensive possibilities, the platform was able to win over our partners in the language learning industry.

With the “Oxford English Vocabulary Trainer 2”, OUP acts as its own publisher worldwide. The Vision Education team was responsible for creating the app and integrating OUP’s high-quality content into the app. The app is available worldwide and already has a large number of users. OUP, as the largest university publisher in the world, embodies the vision: “Education can change lives”, and therefore OUP actively shapes the future of education.

The partnership with Berlitz Japan is based on the business part of the Vision Education platform – the “LearnMatch Business” app and was implemented in cooperation with a Japanese distribution partner. The focus here is particularly on children who want to learn English in a playful way. Children can pick up the nuances of a foreign language much easier and faster and are quite capable of speaking without an accent. Therefore, the focus of this collaboration is primarily on pronunciation exercises and an adequate implementation and presentation of the corresponding content.

Berlitz Japan- another customer with a long tradition

For over 140 years, Berlitz has been providing language instruction and cultural training to open doors to a new world for students. The Berlitz Method is a proven, task-based technique that gives students the confidence and skills to speak a new language immediately. Intensive exposure to the new language and culture allows for total immersion and the experience of living abroad. The intensive classes focus on speaking the language. To this day, this is one of the most effective methods of language learning.

Justifiably proud of their achievements!

VE with the two new clients, Berlitz Japan and Oxford University Press, continues the successful growth of the B2B track. Working with such renowned and historic figures in education is an incredible achievement of which we are particularly proud. Our COO, Alfred Hofer, is incredibly pleased to welcome further renowned partners for our B2B and SAAS services and expects even more in the medium term who will recognize the successful concept in time and use the leading technology accordingly. The future is innovative, and, after all, one must never stop reinventing oneself.

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?

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.
