Imagistic Takes Home Bronze In This Year's NewMedia Invision Awards Competition For The Internet Learning Network Web site.
Venice, November 2000, -- On Thursday, November 2, 2000, Venice-based web services company, Imagistic Media Studios, Inc., was awarded a Bronze medal at NewMedia's Invision Award Conference.
The NewMedia Invision Awards is an annual competition to recognize and honor innovation and excellence in new media digital content. This year, judges reviewed over 1100 entries from 18 countries. Imagistic won for the Web site it designed and produced for the Internet Learning Network in the competitive category of educational web sites for kids 13-18.
The mission of the Internet Learning Network, and thus, the Web site, is to improve the standardized test scores of American students from K through 12. The winning Web site gives students the opportunity to assess their math and science skills, rank themselves nationally and globally, and access diagnostic tools for self-improvement all within a fun, interactive and internally motivating environment. The site also empowers parents and teachers to make more informed and education-related decisions.
Imagistic designed two distinct pathways for the site, the first is a warm-up test for each subject and grade level that integrates rigorous questions and answers, entertaining scenarios and hints within a fun, game-like environment. The second pathway is a self-assessment test, which is a timed test that allows students to see how their responses rate compared to forty other countries in the TIMSS (Third International Mathematics and Science Study).>
"I wish I could have used this site while I was in school," says Imagistic CEO, Michael Weiss. "It proves once again that learning and having fun do not have to be mutually exclusive."
Founding Sponsors of the Internet Learning Network include The Nasdaq Stock Market Educational Foundation Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, The Lucent Technologies Foundation, QUALCOMM Incorporated, E*Trade Group Inc., Sandia National Laboratories, The U.S. Department of Energy, The Howle Family Foundation, and NEC Foundation of America.
