It is with great pleasure that we can now unveil the Learnalot portal, now available for the first time at www.learnalot.com.

We’re not taking subscriptions yet as there are still a few resources to complete, but the completion- and subsequent unveiling- of the portal does at least allow those eager to know more about what we’re doing to take a look; for interested parties to register for updates in the form of a newsletter; and of course for the search engines to start indexing the site in the run-up to launch.

Please feel free to take a look around, register for the newsletter and maybe even register on the discussion forums should you have any questions or feedback.

Our second resource, Going for Gold, is now nearing completion with development on the third resource going ahead at full steam now that the portal itself is complete.

In Going for Gold, the student is given the role of a new dietician whose first client is 16 year old Graham Jacobs, a gifted young athlete who is achieving impressive 100m times despite leading an unhealthy lifestyle. The student is asked to turn Graham’s lifestyle around by working out a healthy diet and training regime that will help him break that magical 10-second barrier.

It’s been in development since last year, but since securing investment back in March we’ve been able to accelerate development and the resource is now complete. The graphics, the audio, the activities and all of the new functionality that we can’t reveal yet is all done and ready to go!

Settlers is our first resource but we have several others at various stages of development, as well as the portal itself of course. Because some of its features can only be revealed when the portal is launched, the screenshots below have been carefully selected to give a sample of what’s to come without spoiling any surprises.

Now that our first resource is complete, the others will follow a lot more quickly. Stay tuned!

We will be officially launching the Learnalot portal at BETT on 12-15 January 2011, at Olympia in London. BETT is the world’s largest education technology show and was visited by almost 30,000 people last year; almost a quarter of which were international visitors.

You will find our stand in the Software Zone at stand number SW80. At the show you will be able to access the portal and navigate the resources. Some of the team will be at hand to answer any questions and to provide demonstrations.

We would love for you to come along and visit the Learnalot stand!
