Shift, a rapid e-learning authoring tool, won top award at DemoFest in the Onboarding / Employee Orientation category. Rick Beaudry, CEO of Mindmuze and Randolf Kissling, CEO of Aura Interactiva, demonstrated the winning technology to conference attendees during the two hour event.
Shift’s entry in the OnBoarding / Employee Orientation category was entitled Green Your Office, a web-based guide narrated by celebrated environmentalist Dr. Suzuki. The fully interactive eLearning module helps organizations see the benefits of going green at work and learn how to influence behaviour within the organization.
Rick Beaudry, co-presenter said “It was exciting to demonstrate how environmental content was transformed into a highly engaging and entertaining learning module. Attendees walked away with a clear understanding of how fast, flexible and powerful the Shift authoring tool is.”
The 90 minute course was built in 30 development hours in Shift. It is packed with a wealth of content and tools, as well as an avatar of Dr. Suzuki to help users navigate through the program.
“We are very pleased with this recognition by the eLearning Guild members,” said Randolf Kissling, co –presenter at the DemoFest event. “But we’re most pleased of leveraging David Suzuki’s vast knowledge pool through Shift to reach thousands of users and really make a positive change.”
