Revolutionizing standards training with a virtual learning experience that is engaging, memorable, and easy to use.
DISTIL Interactive creates intuitive and interactive practice environments for standards training that allow individuals to demonstrate not just knowledge, but skills too. We accomplish this through a unique, game-like user experience, created using simple animation and content written by subject matter experts. As users move through the virtual environment, they interact with the content and use their intuition combined with skills and knowledge to respond to situations. Using pedagogical principles, DISTIL's virtual environments help users learn standards in an engaging and memorable way.
DISTIL technology is composed of three parts:
THE GAME CLIENT: a game-like experience delivered over the internet allows users to learn and be assessed as they move intuitively through an industry-relevant environment created with a subject matter expert. The game client is easy to use by anyone with an internet connection and Adobe Flash 8 or higher. It provides flexible delivery, easy accessibility, and a simple and enjoyable user experience.
THE PLATFORM: DISTIL's authoring tool allows subject matter experts to write their own game content. Working with our Studio team, they can turn their expertise into a game-like practice environment. By working with DISTIL, training providers can fully leverage their in-house skills and our experience in creating virtual learning environments to make training products that are effective and engaging.
THE ASSESSMENT TOOL: Unique assessment technology being developed by DISTIL's team will allow assessors to compare users' behavior to that of known experts in the field. It will also allow them to evaluate the user's competency based on their decisions in the practice environment. This way, we can provide learners with meaningful feedback, while allowing companies to calibrate and benchmark the skills of their workforce. Assessment goes beyond simple evaluation of progress - for example, it can tell users whether they tend to ask leading questions that experts avoid, or if they can use another technique to help them reach their goals.
The DISTIL training experience is accessible to all ages. The high degree of accessibility allows older and younger users (experienced gamers and non-gamers alike) to play and find equal value in the experience.
