The Big Plus is Scotland's national adult literacy and numeracy
campaign introduced to encourage people to improve their reading
writing and number skills.
Following the success of Football Academy, Screenmedia was
commissioned by Learning Connections to produce Work Skills
Academy; a complementary addition to the learning series teaching
the core literacy and numeracy skills required in a work
environment.
There are eight enjoyable games which help develop core skills
in the use of grammar, punctuation, listening and maths. To support
the learning content, the games encompass character animation and
voiceover to improve accessibility and to guide, encourage and
reward users throughout the learning experience.
Through our engaging design and ease of navigation learners
are able to easily choose topics and skill level, as well as seek
help and print answers. The games are proving to be an effective
way of reaching the market and engaging learners.
The games are available online and on CD-ROM.
