- Morf Media launched its Gamified Intelligent Learning System (GILS), which uses advanced game theory and artificial intelligence to enable employees to enter virtual worlds where they can progress through work simulations to better learn and interact with others as they create and execute strategies and perform complex tasks. GILS is available anytime, anywhere, delivering the same immersive, interactive experience on smart phones, tablets, and desktops.
- Mindflash released a new version of its online business training software that precisely analyzes trainees’ facial expressions to compute a real-time “Engagement Score” for each portion of the course. The score is provided in aggregate, never by trainee, to help the trainer identify opportunities for improvements in course materials. A minimum of five trainees must complete a course before an Engagement Score is generated. The new functionality was developed in concert with Stanford-based computer-vision company Sension.
