Success literally speaks for itself this week as Newbury College brings the Newbury & Thatcham Advertiser to life with the help of a new smartphone app. The 'Augmented Reality' application allows users to watch videos of real Newbury College learners talking about their experiences by hovering their phone or tablet device over special images.
Marketing Manager, Una Lutwyche said "We have always promoted the great experiences our learners tell us about through our printed materials but we are really excited that by using the latest technology, they are now able to share even more of these success stories."
As a progressive and forward thinking education provider, Newbury College is always making use of the latest technologies to improve communication and benefit learners.
Communications and eLearning Development Officer, Shaun Daubney said "Investing in technology is a key strength of the College. Whilst the application will be a fantastic marketing tool, we also hope to develop it even further, enhancing our teaching and learning and complementing our award winning virtual learning environment."
The 'app' is currently available from Google Play for Android smartphones and tablets. A version for iPhones and iPads is expected to launch soon.
