Pocket Anatomy wins accolade

Galway: Pocket Anatomy, a Galway-based medical education software visualisation company, has been awarded the annual Special Award for Media in Education at this year’s European MEDEA 2010 Media in Education awards in Brussels.

The aim of the awards is to encourage innovation and good practice in the use of media — audio, video, graphics and animation — in education. The awards also recognise and promote excellence in the production and pedagogical design of media-rich learning resources.

Founder and CEO of Pocket Anatomy, Mark Campbell, said: “To be awarded a European Media in Education award is a real honour, as it recognises the great work of our talented team. I’m really proud of what we have all achieved together.”

Pocket Anatomy’s mobile medical education products were one of five organisations selected by a judging panel of 74 European eLearning practitioners, as this year’s MEDEA award winners.
