Now in its third year, the eLearning Global Giveback Competition [GGB3] provides the opportunity for course developers to work with non-profit organisations to develop online courses. These courses help the global staff of non-governmental organisations do their work in the fields of humanitarian relief, development, conservation and social justice even better. The GGB3 Competition includes four categories: Simulations and Games; Field Generated Content; Mobile Learning and General Learning.

SPML founder Gerry Griffin comments: “Education is essential to helping developing economies progress. Mobile is key to that education. We are proud to be partners with Save the Children in the phenomenal work they do”.

Save the Children’s Global Employee Development Manager Samantha Hackett adds: ”This is an exciting venture for Save the Children, the potential that mobile learning has in supporting the development of our staff in the field is immense.

“The increased flexibility that mobile learning offers is an attractive option, especially as mobile phone coverage is continuing to expand. Identifying ways in which technology can increase the impact of our work is one of our priorities and we value the collaboration with Skill-Pill that supports this aim”.
