Extending the service LINE

LondonLearning NewsLINE Communications

LINE Communications, a leading provider of learning and communications solutions, announces formal inclusion of full 3D simulations into its service offering.

LINE currently offers a complete end-to-end service to its global client base. This includes strategic consultancy, fully bespoke and blended content development, rapid design and development and full implementation/roll-out. It has now enhanced its existing capabilities in the creation of engaging scenario development and technical simulations with the Thinking WorldsTM 3D engine and authoring environment. Having previously worked as a partner with Caspian, who developed the software, LINE has now taken this step as Caspian has evolved its business to include a licence model arrangement.

Thinking WorldsTM enables LINE's designers to very quickly create and publish highly immersive 3D simulations. It provides a variety of simulation templates and an open visual authoring environment which allows designers to rapidly create and integrate simulations into their learning projects. Thinking WorldsTM simulations can be delivered over the internet or through a secure intranet environment and can be SCORM 1.2 conformant, if required.

Piers Lea, LINE's CEO said "Economic conditions remain tough for all businesses and I’m pleased that LINE is still able to invest in expanding its service offering. Thinking WorldsTM enhances our simulation capabilities by providing a platform to design realistic 3D learning environments within which learners can explore and be challenged. This is an exciting addition to our service and one which has application across a range of subject areas and business sectors if applied thoughtfully. It’s yet another way that we can get business-focussed results for our clients through learning innovation".
