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.’
