“We’re delighted that our children will have access to what we call ‘Real Facts’ - the authoritative work of Encyclopædia Britannica’s writers - world experts in almost every field of learning.”

“Intuitive Media and Encyclopædia Britannica’s digital assets complement each other perfectly. We are looking forward to delivering Britannica’s rich information and multimedia through this unique platform to students and teachers, via the classroom and at home.”

"I am not overstating it by saying we were ecstatic to learn that the organisation behind SuperClubsPLUS in the UK, Intuitive Media was keen to run the programme here in Australia. I am pleased to announce that the Telstra Foundation will provide 1 million dollars over two years to La Trobe University and Intuitive Media to help deliver the SuperClubsPLUS programme in Australia."

"Our mission at Intuitive Media is for children to be connected around the world - safely. Welcoming children from Australia will be a great delight for all the thousands of children from the UK in SuperClubsPLUS. We now have children in 35 countries across the world contributing and collaborating. SuperClubsPLUS is a wonderful resource for children to do this safely."

“This study has given us a fascinating insight into what today’s schoolchildren aspire to. This doesn’t just mean what jobs they would like, but who they think they will be living with, what family groupings they think they will be living in and their plans for further education.

“These children obviously relate to their teachers in a very strong way. It is also interesting to see that school-aged children are not inspired by careers in politics or journalism - possibly a reflection of the unflattering public perception of both professions.”

• A new research service allowing public and private sector organisations to access the opinions of Intuitive Media’s unique community of 120,000 6-14 year-olds and their teachers, each of whom is ID-checked offline before being allowed to join. The new IM Research facility, which has already been used by the DFES and Becta, allows government and ethical commercial organisations to survey this community with multiple choice and open-ended questions.
  
• As well as this survey facility Intuitive Media is also today announcing two additional research facilities. The first of these, called TestZone, allows companies and other organizations to test an idea or product with the community, providing timely feedback from a uniquely targeted demographic. Additionally the new Learning Channel facility also allows organisations to open up a forum and online magazine for children, encouraging them to discuss and input into a particular topic.
  
• Intuitive Media also today announces LinkUp Forums, a service which allows schoolchildren around the world to learn and communicate in a protected online environment. This service lets any school with an existing subscription and links with international schools free access to these forums, encouraging global interaction and learning. This is in line with the DFES targets for all UK schools to have international links by 2010. Where the partner school is in a developing country Intuitive Media will allow overseas children free membership.
  
• The final new product that Intuitive Media is bringing to market is the Intuitive Community Engine (ICE). This sophisticated tool is the underlying technology underpinning all communities currently run by Intuitive Media and can be customized to suit the needs of the owner, offering a customized out-of-the-box protected social networking capability. This solution offers full social networking capabilities, including Instant Messaging, Email, forums, homepages, search and more. As well as this ICE allows unique and highly sophisticated protection for users through mediation and monitoring tools.

“The announcement of this new raft of products and services is a testament to the success and solid growth of our communities. By using an ethical approach to research we can ensure that organisations have access to a unique panel of age-verified 6-14 year olds, as well as allowing the children to have a voice and participate in future developments.

“The new LinkUp Forums open up a global learning experience where children from every walk of life can learn together and share information about one another’s lives in a protected space. In addition, by making our underlying technology available to anyone wanting to set up a protected online community, we are helping promote safe use of the internet through highly sophisticated mediation and moderation tools.”
