Harlow College Creative Media students have worked with publishers Pearson Education to produce a series of animated e-books for children aged 6-11 years.
The winning e-book, announced by Pearson at their Harlow offices, was created by Level 3 students Mitch Hanrahan and Daniel Herbert. ‘Scaredy Cat’ tells the story of Leo the scared lion, who gradually gains in confidence until eventually making friends with the other animals.
Media tutor, Richard Crabtree, said: “The students certainly exceeded all expectations and they learnt a lot of new skills in the process. We are very proud, as the students were extremely impressive during their presentations to Pearson.”
He added “We have several students with challenges in the group. Everybody stuck together as a team, at the presentation and they supported each other.”
The e-books were then shown to pupils at the local Downs Primary School, where they were given the thumbs up by the enthusiastic youngsters.
