...e-learning award for web-based Speexx solution out of 40 competing training solutions...

MUNICH – Friday 4th November 2011 – dp (digital publishing) the global provider of award winning corporate language training (CLT), has received the prestigious BOOAOO e-learning Award in China for excellence in education for its innovative language learning courses called Speexx out of more than 40 competing training solutions.

The Judging panel consisted of respected professors and leaders both from academic, e-learning industry and corporate training sectors. The panel highly recommended dp’s concept of “Perfect Blend” which brought together innovative technology, tutors, content, and students in order to enable a convenient and efficient way of language training. According to the judging panel, “To establish a tutoring team with more than 1,200 tutors is not an easy job; to manage these tutors to follow standardized process and yet ensure the quality of each sent email would even be more difficult.  We are absorbed by dp’s blended solution, not only in terms of its rich curriculum resources, but in its mature technology of e-learning.”

Armin Hopp, Founder and President of dp, commented, “We are delighted to receive this award. In an increasingly globalised corporate environment, the need for business language skills as effective communication is more crucial to business growth than ever before. Multilingual communication can be a real asset within all activities, not only for sales and marketing. Effective cross-border communication can help solve problems, avoid delays and enhance productivity across all sectors. Although English retains its leading role as the world business language, other languages can also provide companies with a competitive advantage. Our award winning training course takes the headache out of teaching staff linguistic skills – it provides an easy-to-use, innovative, blended delivery platform to ensure that staff can get flexible online and classroom teaching, and personalised tutored support.”
