Saffron Interactive looks to the future as former CTO re-joins
Saffron Interactive is delighted to welcome back Nick Simons, who returns to the company in a strategic role after two years away. Nick has spent some of that time at Blackboard, where he applied his experience in the corporate world to the social learning capability of the Blackboard Virtual Learning Environment.
As part of Saffron's strategy for 2011, Nick will be leading the company's expanding technology development office in Pune, India, in the support of new e-learning media, specialising in social and mobile learning and exploring fresh platforms for e-learning such as the Apple iPad.
'Companies are starting to recognise that employees can and should contribute towards their own learning and that of their colleagues. Consequently, they have begun to deploy the tools that facilitate this transformation in how people learn,' writes Nick. 'Our job is to show our clients how to design and implement effective and engaging learning experiences that make best use of these evolving technologies.'
Noorie Sazen, Saffron's MD, says 'Saffron has always been known for innovation in e-learning, in technology as well as instructional design, and Nick's return to the company will help us to maintain our leadership position.'
