We’re developing an online careers coaching tool for learndirect.
It’s designed to give learners an immersive, video-led and supported mentoring experience. Our video presenter takes learners step by step through a series of learning modules which will help them apply for jobs, prepare for interview and improve their employability skills.
Last month we celebrated the launch of Mission:Explore, a website and free iPhone app we’ve developed in collaboration with the Geography Collective.
The launch took place aboard The Golden Hinde, a replica of the historic ship once captained by Sir Francis Drake and now moored on the banks of the Thames. Needless to say, there was plenty of pirate-themed fun and games. Not to mention the costumes.
The Workshop recently designed and built the relaunched ‘Services for business’ section of Sheffield Hallam University’s website.
The site aims to challenge the assumption that a university can only offer training and development. It features news and case studies about the range of technologies, services, facilities and resources that Sheffield Hallam offers.
Recently we’ve been working with the Office for Disability Issues (ODI) to create a website and marketing materials for their Roadmap 2025 campaign.
The Workshop has teamed up with the Geography Collective to take missions from their interactive book and create a website and iPhone application called Mission:Explore.
Well, they’re all partners of Pass IT on, a new nationwide digital inclusion initiative from UK online centres and the government’s Digital Champion Martha Lane Fox.
There are 10 million people in the UK who still don’t or can’t access the internet. Pass IT on asks web users to pass on their enthusiasm for the internet to their friends, relatives or colleagues who are offline.
We’ve been working closely with UK online centres over the past few months developing the Pass IT on offer, strategy, and websites, which went live last weekend.
The Workshop recently designed and built a website about innovation in the public sector for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. We also created a series of printed materials as part of their ‘Create the Space to Innovate’ campaign, which encourages public sector employees to get their thinking caps on and share their marvellous ideas.
We’re currently working with Sheffield Theatres to engage non-traditional audiences in theatre productions.
We’re creating The Rehearsal Room to promote plays before, during and after performances. Potential theatre-goers will be able to use this virtual space to find out how plays are produced. The site’s content will be filmed here at The Workshop: we’re currently building a set in our offices. Users will also be able to explore the work of Sheffield Theatres through video, photos and interactive elements and add their own contributions.
The Workshop has worked with John Smedley for almost 20 years.
Recently they asked us to design and produce press materials and sales team tools for their Autumn/Winter 2010 menswear and womenswear collections. We began by spending some quality time with their design team to understand the thinking behind each collection.
That time helped us draw on the ethos behind the knitwear: layering. For both collections, we produced a spiral-bound presenter featuring fashion photography of the key pieces and sample fabric swatches.
The Royal Institution is dedicated to connecting people with the world of science through research and events. We’ve been working with them for the last five years to support their annual Christmas lectures which have been going since 1825.
The events are filmed every year and broadcast on UK television. To support them, we’ve designed a series of interactive games, which are now live over at the Christmas lectures site. We’re also producing a DVD that will be sent to around 2,500 secondary schools across the UK in the New Year.
