P1: Update 21st Jan 2010
Project 1: Update 21st Jan 2010 – Significant progress has been made on the EC funding project since the start of the year.
Pearson Education (www.pearson.com) and ourselves have been scoping in detail their contribution to the Project. This is being crystallised into a Project Framework so that we all know which party will contribute what to the overall Project.
PIXELearning (www.pixelearning.com) have agreed to be a part of the consortium and will contribute Serious Games Simulations to the Project in particular we are looking at creating a suite of learning modules focused around their Role Play Engine. This is a sophisticated piece of technology that was originally created for Comcast in the USA, to help train their 19,000 call centre agents. The technology will be modified so we can simulate conversation scenarios and immerse the learner in an environment where they must navigate through the conversation to learn how best to handle certain outcomes.
Redtray Limited (www.redtray.com) have agreed to be part of the consortium and contribute e-learning and development expertise to the Project via their UK and India based staff & programmers. The details of their contribution are being scoped with the team at Redtray and ourselves. This week we have been understanding Redtray’s ALTO platform = Learning, Knowledge & Competency Management System, with Resource Planning & Scheduling capabilities.
2SMS (www.2sms.com) have agreed to be a part of the consortium and contribute technology and solutions to the mobile delivery platform of the Project.
We are currently scheduling the next meetings with PERA (www.pera.com) and Ashridge Business School (www.ashridge.org.uk) as they are kindly letting us use the magnificant Ashridge facilities to facilitate project meetings between the Industrial Partners.
