TLG Attends The Wetlands Exhibition Launch in Townsville

On Wednesday the 7th of June, 2006, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority held a ceremonial launch at its Reef Headquarters (HQ) in Townsville for its new Wetlands Exhibition. There to see all the action was Christie from The Learning Group: “This was a very important event for us to attend as it was also the launch of the Exploring Our Wetlands module we delivered as an interactive touch screen kiosk to accompany the exhibition,” she said.

With Townsville’s local ABC and ATN Seven television stations present, the Exploring Our Wetlands module was a big hit with all, designed as an informative module with a very visual learning approach. The solution TLG provided included a combination of scenario-based audio recordings and interactive Flash interfaces for the learner to better understand the importance of protecting the wetlands.

“Attendees at the launch found both the graphics and written content played a key role in getting the message across, though the comments came thick-and-fast in regards to the voice-overs of the conservationist, local fisherman, Indigenous representative and a wetland fish,” Christie continued. “People found listening to someone else’s perspective a refreshing and fun way of learning.”
