PAULEY and NTAR win Gold Innovation in Learning Award
Next-generation digital learning provider PAULEY has won the highly coveted gold award for Innovation in Learning with National Training Academy for Rail (NTAR), at the 20th annual Learning Awards run by the Learning and Performance Institute.
The award winning solution combines touch screen technology, CAD and Oculus Rift virtual reality to engage and inspire the next generation of rail industry engineers and apprentices being trained by NTAR. PAULEY created 25 powerful VR interactive online courses from over 4,000 documents to create a game-changing learning experience.
The Learning Awards celebrate and honour the best of the best in the learning and development industry and are recognised as the L&D sector’s premier awards ceremony. They are judged by an independent panel of industry experts looking for exceptional vision and depth in providing learning solutions with a proven business impact.
In the souvenir Book of the Night, PAULEY and NTAR were praised for making “an impressive contribution to the delivery of learning”. The judges commended the team’s ability to combine different technologies to make “cutting-edge, engaging and realistic learning”. They also praised how the solution successfully integrates and accelerates learning in the workplace and is very scalable due to the use of affordable equipment, available to everyone.
Said Philip Pauley, founder and chief innovator at PAULEY: “We are absolutely delighted that our learning solution has won this prestigious innovation award. 2016 is going to be the year of virtual reality with many learning providers only just beginning to experiment with VR by using it as eye candy to attract visitors to their exhibition stands. For us, this award demonstrates that we really are the industry’s front-runner for transforming paper-based content and dull e-learning into a highly immersive VR learning experience that is far superior to classroom learning and that delivers tangible business results.”
This year’s Learning Awards received a record entry of more than 400 submissions from across the world. The Innovation in Learning Award was sponsored and presented by Afiniti with popular TV and radio presenter, Claudia Winkleman, on 4 February 2016, at the Dorchester Hotel on London’s Park Lane.
