Let's Work Together.

Engage Your Audience

Drawing from our extensive experience with technology-based learning methods and online business training, we’ve identified that successful online educational training simulations:

Use innovative visual aesthetics and intuitive interfaces to facilitate learning
Engage students by letting them personalize their learning environment
Deliver content through multiple languages and forms of media
Provide constant feedback and incentives to improve
Foster collaboration and competition
Set intermediate checkpoints for students to assess understanding of subject material
Provide opportunities for facilitation and debriefing

Our Approach

Our multi-phase and integrated approach to educational simulation games combines advanced development tools and design expertise, resulting in a customized application with a professional appearance, sophisticated modeling, and comprehensive support.

We can:

Review your simulation requirements and work with you to explore creative educational opportunities
Design full-color mockups of educational simulation ideas
Develop an interactive application based on a design we develop or one that you already have
Test your simulation to ensure it works successfully on a variety of browsers and devices including computers, tablets, and smart phones
