Game On! At The Paragon Group
(Market Wire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) LARKSPUR, CA, October 3 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Qube Learning, developer of the first online
customizable, game-based training system in the world, today announced the
selection of their Qube Learning System by The Paragon Group.
Paragon helps financial institutions evaluate, prioritize and develop their
assets to meet the challenges of the future. Their focus is on the fusion
of an organization's human resources and emerging technologies. The Paragon
Consulting Group has recently adopted Qube's online learning games and rich
media content development tools to complement their offerings to their
client base.
The Qube includes an online authoring platform for rapidly customizing more
than 30 instructionally-proven game templates that can be deployed for any
number of learners, anywhere in the world, immediately, with any platform
(e.g. PC, Mac, Unix, Linux). QGame players compete in a fun, engaging
Challenge Arena on their own time, at their own speed, increasing adoption
rates and reducing the number of learners who "opt out." Managers and
senior officers can monitor the success of each learning initiative with
the QDashboard learner analytics engine which provides 7x more reliable,
valid measurement of knowledge transfer than traditional learning
management system or paper post-tests.
Recently selected by the Gartner Group as one of the "8 Cool Vendors" in
the High Performance Workplace market, the Qube Learning System
incorporates the latest research in instructional design to offer an
entirely new way to engage, motivate and educate a workforce by instantly
transforming passive training media (e.g. Webinars, URLs, Video, Audio,
Flash, PDF, Word, PowerPoint, even 3-Ring Binders) into interactive,
game-based learning modules with up to 10x improvement in long-term
retention rates.
"The Qube is a great way to provide interactive and fun training. The games
provide a strong motivation to learn the materials and continue to increase
knowledge," said James L. This, President, The Paragon Consulting Group.
Andrew Kimball, CEO of Qube Learning, and a leading authority in
organizational development and human performance technology, said, "This is
a great example of how online games can be used to significantly increase
learner retention and motivation at a fraction of the traditional cost of
developing custom simulations or experiential learning."
