Podium Triumphs in 2009 BETT Awards

Podium, the innovative educational podcasting solution from RM Group company Softease, has been voted best product in the Content-Free Tools category of the 2009 BETT Awards. The BETT Awards, which are presented annually during the BETT exhibition, recognise the year's most creative and innovative ICT products for learners and teachers.

Commenting on the award, Terry Sweeney, RM's Chief Executive, said: "Softease has a long history of providing innovative and educationally-effective software tools. With Podium, we've pioneered classroom podcasting. It's part of our educational Web 2.0 strategy, letting teachers and learners communicate, collaborate and learn on the Web productively and safely.

"We announced at BETT 2009, that Softease is becoming part of Lightbox Education, our new, focused educational software division. It's a great start for Lightbox to win this award; even better, Fuse Creator, another Lightbox product, was shortlisted in the same category, along with the RM ASUS miniBook."
