Entries for the Australian Regional Finals of the IMS Global Learning Consortium Learning Impact Awards (LIA) are now being accepted. Australian entrants have had success for two years in a row on the international stage. Automatic entry into this global arena is guaranteed for winners of the regional finals. Once again the LIAs will be showcased and judged according to specific criteria during the Technology in Education Open Forum at IDEA10 (sponsored by Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and University of Southern Queensland), to be held in Melbourne, 10 - 12 March. The IMS GLC Learning Impact Awards and Recognition Program recognizes outstanding applications of technology that address the most significant challenges facing the education community. The awards are unique for their recognition of the use of technology in context. Winners from prior years are ineligible. However, previous participants who did not finish in the top three are welcome to enter with a new submission or the same submission providing this has matured since last judged. Submission information is located at the Australian Regional Finals page.

For further information please send an email to: ideaconference@usq.edu.au. Don't forget, as one of the top three Australian finalists, this is an opportunity to receive support to attend the international IMS GLC Learning Impact Awards in Long Beach, California, USA in 2010.
