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”.

Big Book Challenge For Bookworms During School Holidays!
With the school holidays fast approaching, a special reading challenge for young bookworms is being launched in June in aid of The Children's Trust.
Over the next three months, children of all ages are invited to take part in the Big Book Challenge. The aim is to encourage children to read as many books as possible during their summer break, and ask friends and family to sponsor them to raise money for The Children's Trust, a national charity which supports some of the UK's most profoundly disabled children.
No matter how old, everyone loves a good story. It's a great opportunity for all the family to get involved. The children at the Trust will be joining in too with storytelling evenings and activities. Every penny raised will make a positive difference to the lives of the children and families that The Children's Trust supports.
Jacqueline Wilson, award-winning children's author who is supporting the special challenge, said: "I've been a bookworm since I was six years old. Books delight, entertain and inform - they're the most magical way of enriching our lives. It's also great fun discovering other worlds and meeting wonderful characters within the pages of a book. I hope children will really enjoy taking part in this challenge - and that a lot of money is raised to support the work of The Children's Trust."
Everyone who takes part will receive a certificate and those who raise over £50 in sponsorship will receive a free copy of 'The Bestest Ever Bear' poetry book.
For more information and to get started go to www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/bigbookchallenge or call Emma on 01737 365019.
