Kiwi Excellence in Learning Gets Int'l Recognition
Custom learning designers, Wavelength, received a Gold and a Silver award in today’s Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Awards ceremony. This is the 15th year that these awards have been held. Wavelength was the only New Zealand company to be placed in these global awards when it entered in 2006, and has been placed every year since.
Winning
entries, which are judged by industry peers world-wide,
provide a benchmark for the industry.
Wavelength won
the sole Gold award presented for its category for
Purchasing client services, an e-learning module designed
with ACC. The module was entered into the ‘Best Results of
a Learning Programme’ category, a category for workplace
learning programmes that make use of learning technology and
achieve desirable results. Past winners in this category
include Bell Canada and IBM Corporation.
Wavelength
also won Silver for My Meridian training. Developed with
Meridian Energy, this blended learning programme helps
Meridian employees to introduce customers to the new
Meridian portal, and explain how the portal can be used to
access the customers’ account details and manage their
energy use. My Meridan was entered in the ‘Best Use of
Blended (using two or more delivery methods) Learning’
category and one of two Silver awards winners.
Past
winners of this category have included IBM Corporation,
KPMG, and GE Energy.
‘We’re naturally proud of
this year’s awards’, says CEO Gareth Parry. ‘We’re
about designing world-class learning, and our year-on-year
success in these international awards proves that we’re
meeting that
grade.’
