One of the Welsh winners was associated with a technology-related project: Coleg Gwent received the CLA Award for promoting the value of copyright as a result of the development and use of plagiarism-awareness modules for use in Moodle. More information about this success can be found on the Coleg Gwent web-site, and a modified version of the resource can be viewed on the RSC Wales Moodle.

Swansea College was also highly commended for its entry to the FENC Award for the creative production, adaptation, and delivery of learning resources.  Their project involved the production of French-language podcasts as a flexible resource for adult and community students in particular. Podbean was used for free online hosting, and the very popular podcasts mainly involved brief weekly round-ups of news and events in France. Accompanying transcripts were also provided on a specific Podbean site to help learners, along with lists of key vocabulary. Further information about the award can be found on the Swansea College web-site.
   
Congratulations to both colleges, and all the other award-winners and entrants from Wales. A full list of all awards and winners can be found on the AoC site
