2D Game Based E-learning Modules Complete For Our Client’s LMS System
Posted on Wed, 04/22/2009 - 05:31
We are pleased to announce that we have completed a fully interactive 2D game-based learning module for one of our non-disclosed clients.
This tool is being used for sales training via the web.
The learning module consists of a quiz-like game structure followed by 3-5 minute animated tutorials which include audio commentary, as well as video.
"Serious games" are developed to engage the user, as well as to entice the user to really want to learn the information that is being presented through the modules.
This particular learning module is SCORM 1.2 and 2004 compliant and is tracking the users time, score of both the pre and post assessments, and bookmarks the user on each chapter to ensure the ability to come back to the previous place where he or she left off. We packaged this into the client's current learning management system and it implements with a simple import of our zip file.
Because we have an NDA with our client, we are unable to provide you with the actual module; however, we can provide you with screen shots (with the clients content blurred for privacy reasons). For more information regarding our web-based training and serious game development contact us today!
Sandwich of Second Life Projects

Our Second Life development project just added the bottom bun.
As we get close to finishing one:
We are in the meat of one:
And we just received the announcement that our latest island is ready!
We have seen this a couple times in our past and my team has really done well to balance all projects. The toughest thing to achieve is the proper balance between all team members working on each project, to ensure they all are developed within each time frame. Our "top bun" project is almost complete. Our "meat" project needs finished as quickly as possible because that project also corresponds with a web development project that connects this new island with the company web page. Finally our "bottom bun" project needs to be complete before that last week in April (did I mention that project also has a video with it which we will be scripting, creating audio for and developing, which ALSO needs done on the same deadline as the Second Life island!?).
Have no fear, ALL project will meet their deadlines!

One of the best things about developing in Second Life is the complete freedom. You can develop an island in any way, shape or form. For our latest project we are developing an island for a hospital, so for this we wanted a very relaxed and easy to use island for all visitors...and most of all we wanted simple. Well, simple to users doesn't always mean simple for the designer. We have just finished getting trees wrapped around the entire island and it looks great! It really helps close in the island and creates a very comfortable earthy environment.
So whats next...? More trees! As you look out your window into the woods you'll probably notice that from a distance you can't see through the woods to the other side. This concept can be a little difficult to achieve in Second Life sometimes because the trees don't really "grow" and you don't have all the clutter (dead trees, weeds, small branches) close to the ground. So to fix this - you add more trees! With already a few hundred trees in place it wont take much more, but we want to create the closest illusion of the real thing as best we can.
