Winning an award is always amazing, but winning in one and being recognized as a finalist in another category in the same competition feels even better. We are truly honoured to receive some serious recognition from one of the largest and most competitive programs in all of the education technology sector. This year’s EDTECH COOL TOOL AWARDS was organized by the American EdTech Digest online magazine.
This year mozaBook won in the best "presentation solution" and mozaWeb was a finalist in the "blended/remote learning" category!
All of our colleagues and team members who put effort into creating mozaBook and mozaWeb are extremely happy to see that both teachers and our peers love our software solutions, and awards like this give us an incredible amount of motivation to continue the work we started many years ago.
On behalf of Mozaik Education, we congratulate all other finalists and winners! To check out the full list, visit the official website of EdTech Awards.
At Mozaik the new year always comes with a busy schedule for our team as the largest ed-tech fair in the world, the BETT Show traditionally takes place in the last week of January. In 2022, because of the pandemic, the organisers decided that they postpone the exhibition to March. On one hand, we were a bit sad because we always look forward to meeting new people, but on the other hand, we were happy that we could possibly see sunny London in March. But our main reason for travelling to London was to present mozaBook, mozaWeb and our new products Mozaik Teacher and Mozaik Student at our booth and sure we did! BETT 2022 was really a show to remember!
22,600 visitors came together over the 3 days at ExCel London to find out what the future and the present hold for teachers and students around the world and see what are the latest trends in education first-hand. Exhibiting at BETT for the 9th time, it was great to see many familiar faces stopping by our stand and sharing some nice experiences of using mozaBook and mozaWeb. Of course, hosting new visitors and presenting them our digital solutions feels amazing, too, as the pure excitement on the faces is always worth the hard work on and off the exhibition!
Fortunately, our meeting schedule was completely full and we were really busy during the 3 days. Among many other companies, it was a great honour to host groups of ministry delegations at our stand as well.
For the first time, we presented our CadaVR Anatomy atlas as part of our software portfolio and we were super excited about it! We got the chance to meet amazing professors from the UK’s most prominent medical colleges such as the University of Cambridge. We are sure that these meetings were a good start for wonderful cooperation. If you haven't checked it out yet, visit our CadaVR website!
Our team - as in every year - worked hard throughout the 3 days and did a really good job!
The BETT Show in London was just the first step as we are advancing into the new year, but it already set the tone for the rest of the exhibition season.
Stay tuned for the upcoming events where you can meet us and visit our Facebook page for more photos.
London, see you next year!
At Mozaik Education our main goal is to have a comprehensive system that supports all participants of the learning process. mozaBook, therefore, is updated every 6 months just before the start of a new semester.
Today we are excited to introduce you to the new 4.5.8.305 release of mozaBook Classroom application! Beyond huge amount of background development which increases performance and stability, we highlight the most important improvements and changes in the new version for you:
Mozaik Teacher and Student user-based licence activation in mozaBook
Our new user-based licence types Mozaik Teacher and Mozaik Student can be activated directly from mozaBook via a mozaWeb in-application process. After creating a new user on mozaWeb and downloading mozaBook, user-based licence holders can activate their licences in mozaBook.
Tests included in books or exercise books as interactive extras can now be sent as homework assignment
Beyond having the option to choose from tests created by or shared with the user, now already prepared test within exercise books or textbooks can be directly sent as homework to the students. 
Free-hand drawing option on any window
In every open window within mozaBook (eg. a tool, game, 3D scene, browser) users can now freeze the screen and draw freely by clicking on the pencil icon (upper right corner). All drawing tools can be used in the drawing/explanation mode from the pencil case except the geometry tools. By clicking on the pencil icon again, the drawings are deleted and the window continues to function interactively.
Adjustable density of pre-set lines and square grid
Within the page properties (long click on an empty space on the exercise book > Page properties) users can set the density of the lines and square grid of the preinstalled page backgrounds.
Gallery optimisation
- Selected images on a page can be added into a new gallery (G A L L E R Y Tool) by simply clicking on the image gallery option on the drop-down menu.
- Selected images from the media library can also be added to a gallery with right-click > drop-down menu > Image gallery
- Images sent to students through classwork can have free-hand drawing marks included when collected back by the teacher and can be added to an image gallery with student names
Simplification of slide arrangement in ‘pages’ side-window
Users can rearrange the order of pages as well as they can select, copy and move multiple pages of the exercise books with simple drag 'n drop in the ‘Pages’ side-window
Return to the last saved state option
Users actively editing their presentations during the lessons with drawings, added items or texts for example can simply return to the last saved state of the given page in the presentation by clicking on the Quick menu > Last saves state option.
Added filtering options for internet-based search
Internet-based search function enriched with additional filter attributes to find the relevant images and videos more quickly
Other new features/updates:
- PDF can be generated from the exercise book without an external PDF printer installed on the user’s device
- Automatic line-smoothing can be switched off
- It’s now possible to open a browser tab in mozaBook, have it detached from the tab-bar and use the standalone window for easier drag’n drop of items to your exercise book
- Steps and commands defined as part of the animation of items are now also included in the scope of undo-able / redo-able steps
- Shortcut menu added to pencil case recycle bin to delete all non-locked items from the active page

The Frankfurt Book Fair, which has traditions spanning more than 500, is the biggest book fair in the world and is held every year. However, due to the pandemic, it was canceled last year. This was a symbol of a huge blow not only for business but more importantly for social relationships as well. All of us were very glad that this year’s book fair was held because we finally could get to meet one another again and to get to know in person those that we have been in contact with during the pandemic.
The pandemic is still with us unfortunately, but social responsibility and regulations have proven effective and this is a small price to pay for all the advantages the book fair had to offer. For the first 3 days we had met other companies from all around the world, and as always it was great to finally have meetings and discussions in person. From time to time we could even grab a cup of coffee together. We happily recognized that despite the situation a lot of people attended the fair.
Especially during the last two days where all the people were allowed in to browse through the booths. We received huge help from the Mittelpunktgrundschule in the form of a couple of teachers. It was mesmerizing both for us and the audience to witness actual teachers use our solutions. We are really grateful to them for these spectacular presentations that we highly recommend a previous blog post if you are interested in the school’s experience with our digital solutions.
All in all, Frankfurt has shown us that being present and socializing with other people is an unexpectedly important aspect of our life, even if we have access to all the modern communication solutions. And once more a shout-out to the Mitterpunktgrundschule from Haiger for participating together with us.
Mozaik Education and the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology of the University of Szeged (SZTE) have developed a next-generation, interactive, 3D anatomy platform with VR support that can be used for educational purposes.
We are proud to present this short article that was written by Glenn Carter who is a teacher at Ingleby Mill Primary School in the United Kingdom. The school is one of our partner institutions, which means that they are using our solutions actively in education, therefore they have first-hand experience regarding their real-life application. Please welcome her short report.
We have been using mozaBook for around two years now at Ingleby Mill Primary School and have found it to be an exciting, engaging and useful piece of software. The staff have access to it in all classrooms with an interactive whiteboard which makes many of the features in mozaBook even more useful.
One of the elements that we have enjoyed in particular are the Tools and Games which engage the children tremendously. The variety of tools across a range of different subjects means that there is usually something for every lesson. The interactive and customisable Board Games are fantastic at helping the children to remember key concepts and knowledge in a fun and exciting manner. The fact that you can add in your own questions and pictures, along with a variety of different question types, means that we can tailor the content to suit our own topics.
The MiniMap is another favourite tool as it allows us to highlight key geographical concepts whilst making the experience interactive. Adding our own quizzes and labels onto maps that can then be saved and reopened is a huge timesaver that allows us to easily revisit content to consolidate it.
We also love using Mozaik’s 3D scenes to help bring a lot of our curriculum to life. Using these for history, geography and science means that many difficult or abstract concepts are made concrete and clear. The ability to rotate the scenes and hide or show labels means that we have control over how we use them. We have integrated a lot of these scenes into our planning right across school, from KS1 to KS2, meaning that the entire school has access to them.
mozaBook has become the fundamental piece of software in my own teaching and for many others across school as the volume of content, interactivity and accessibility make it an essential part of mine and many other teachers’ classrooms in school.
