At Forio, we have more than a decade of experience creating custom interactive simulations to enhance training processes at businesses large and small.
Interactive training simulations are highly effective teaching tools that have been a staple of training for years in industries like aviation and healthcare. When applied in business, training simulations allow learners to simultaneously:
- Explore required material through interactive learning
- Work in team-based competitive or collaborative scenarios
- Pick up additional, crucial ‘soft’ skills
- Participate in a network for continued learning
We’ve collaborated to design and deliver engaging, web-based, interactive simulation-based learning solutions for a wide range of industries. We’ve also helped training specialists and consultants enhance the curriculum they deliver to clients. For example, one Forio partner has built an extensive suite of interactive training simulations based on their specialized knowledge of the healthcare industry. Another has built their own multiplayer management game to train their next generation of business leaders.

Engage Your Audience
Drawing from our extensive experience with technology-based learning methods and online business training, we’ve identified that successful online training simulations:
- Use innovative visual aesthetics and intuitive interfaces to facilitate learning
- Engage learners 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 learners to assess understanding of subject material
- Provide opportunities for facilitation and debriefing
Our Approach
Our multi-phase and integrated approach 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 requirements and work with you to explore creative training opportunities
- Design full-color mockups of training 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
