Bucharest, January 6, 2010 - SIVECO Romania’s experience in computer aided education has recently received a new recognition. AeL educational content was awarded within the Diskobolos competition, for the "Production" category.

The Diskobolos Competition, considered the "Oscar in the IT&C field in South-Eastern Europe", recognizes the best solutions for implementing information and communication technologies in almost all fields of activity. If the initial competition, launched in 1994, was organized only for ex-Yugoslav countries, the number of participants has increased every year, so that in 2009 countries like Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Albania, Czech Republic, Greece, Belgium and Romania, have also submitted projects.

The award gala held in Belgrade was organized by the Union of IT companies in Serbia (JISA), supported by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia and the European Council of IT Companies and several regional Chambers of Commerce and IT Associations.

The jury composed of experts from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Slovenia and Belgium has appreciated the AeL eContent, designed by SIVECO Romania, as one of the most innovative IT products in Europe.

The AeL eContent is one of the largest and most exciting virtual libraries in the world, comprising over 3,700 interactive lessons, having currently over 7 million users in 15,000 schools worldwide. With the help of AeL eContent, teachers can combine traditional teaching methods with modern tools, based on using ICT resources in order to increase student motivation. This way, the educational process becomes more dynamic and intuitive, driving students to experience what they learn and to apply in practice the acquired knowledge.

"We are honored to receive the Diskobolos Special Award, which reconfirms the value of AeL eContent and recommends SIVECO Romania as one of the leading providers of eLearning solutions in Europe. The reform in education is closely linked to the use of ICT, especially knowing that in the coming years, 90% of jobs will require computer working skills", said Radu Jugureanu, AeL eContent Department Manager within SIVECO Romania.
