English360: An award-winning online learning solution

English360 is web application that provides ELT schools and teachers with a quick, easy, out-of-the-box solution to one of their biggest challenges: delivering the online and blended learning that today's student expects. With over 40 Cambridge ELT titles in its repository, the platform provides teachers with course design tools that enable the mixing and matching of content from different titles into the personalised courses that the business English and English for Specific Purposes markets demand.

Powerful yet intuitive authoring tools also allow teachers and schools to create their own learning content, specific to their students and business customers, to use on its own or to supplement Cambridge content.

English360 won the David Riley Award for Innovation at BESIG 2010. The awarding committee said, "We basically felt that the whole concept of English360 was something completely different and something that hadn't been done before," and praised its utility and ease of use for language teachers. Committee member Paul East said, "What really stood out for us on the judging panel was how easy to use English360 is. This is really important, as language teachers have little spare time to invest in learning a new system. We can see that English360 has put a lot of energy into creating an intuitive interface."

Accepting the award, English360 founder and Managing Director, Cleve Miller, told the audience of 250 or so teachers and school directors, "First of all I have to express our gratitutde to Cambridge University Press for being the exemplary partners that they are. They are dedicated to continued innovation and have a unique awareness of the immense value that teachers and schools bring to material selection and materials deisgn."

English360 was also shortlisted for the British Council ELTons Award for Innovation 2011.
