It was another good day for English in Action in October 2014 when a paper on 'The potential of mobile phones to transform teacher development' won the Gold Medal for Best Practice Award at the Asian Association of Open Universities (AAOU) conference in Hong Kong.

The paper, authored by The Open University, UK colleagues Chris Walsh, Clare Woodward, Prithvi Shrestha and Mike Solly, analysed the futures thinking process involved in delivering teacher professional development through audio and video delivered on affordable mobile phones. Chris, who now works at Torrens University in Australia, was on hand to collect the prize in person.
