MOSHCC receives Community ICT Award
The Milang Old School House Community Centre (a 2005 Framework Community Engagement Project) was recently awarded the inaugural Australian Community ICT Award for the “Best use of software in non profit settings”.
MOSHCC received the award for its innovative use of open source software to deliver educational and engaging ICT experiences for people who participate in volunteering and adult learning programs in the region.
Karyn Bradford, Shirley Smith and Stuart Jones were at the Connecting Up Conference Dinner to receive the Award.
The MOSHCC team are really pushing ahead in embedding e-learning in their community, another success for the team was the news that they were a selected network within the 2007 Framework E-learning Networks Project. The MOSHCC team will work with the Community and Neighbourhood Houses and Centres Association in South Australia.
The project – CANH E-NET – will support Centre coordinators and ACE workers to investigate and develop e-learning strategies, while also strengthening the communication and partnerships between SA centres through enhanced IT strategies and understanding of available technologies. Links with other interstate ACE providers will also be made.
In 2006 MOSHCC were also the winners of the South Australian Adult Learners’ Week (ALW) “Learning Community of the Year”.
Well done to everyone at MOSHCC!
