LINE Communications and Caspian Learning announced a partnership to produce and distribute SCORM conformant 3D serious games for learning management systems in the corporate training, government and military sectors.
Until now, it has been extremely difficult to track user activity within 3D games environments to industry standards. As such, training departments have been unable to monitor many learning improvements through this type of approach. LINE worked closely with Caspian Learning to produce the industry’s first SCORM conformant 3D serious games that feed user data and activity results to SCORM v1.2 and 2004 conformant learning management systems (LMSs).
The LINE and Caspian Learning partnership will allow organisation to deploy real 3D serious games as a core component to their training programme and expect the same user feedback data they would receive with any SCORM conformant e-learning programme.
The partnership operates at a commercial and technical level. Commercially, this enables both companies to jointly co-market their products and services into specific market sectors. The technical partnership sees both companies working jointly to deliver software solutions that meet the needs of their clients. Moreover, both companies will share their learning design expertise to create immersive gaming environments that add value and produce measurable results.
Graeme Duncan, Chief Operating Officer of Caspian Learning says; “The partnership is instrumental for Caspian Learning as it enables us to fuse robust games based learning technology and methodology with the broad range of blended learning offerings from LINE. It’s great to be delivering an industry first and removing the barriers associated with using 3D games based learning.”
Piers Lea, LINE’s CEO says, “LINE has been looking for some time at incorporating serious games into our offering. Caspian Learning’s software engine is undoubtedly the best on the market. It has the combined advantage of being well-thought through, flexible and affordable. I’m impressed with their team’s commitment to high quality service and delivery.”
