MVX wins Platinum 2013 LearnX Impact Award

Sentient Computing and Woodside Energy were recently announced the Platinum Award winners in the Game or Simulation category of the 2013 LearnX Impact Awards. The purpose of the LearnX awards program is to:

• Advance recognition of the impact that learning and development have on organisational success
• Distinguish and acknowledge the impact that talented learning professionals have in cultivating and strengthening organisational capability
• Recognise the effectiveness, benefits and impact that learning technologies have in the modern learning organisation

Our winning submission was our Heat Stress training module, developed for Woodside Energy. The training module was set in a 3D virtual environment which realistically represented the Pilbara region where Woodside’s Browse operations were located, and was designed to interactively and immersively teach users about heat stress, including: the symptoms to look out for, ways to prevent heat stress, and the appropriate procedures to follow in emergency scenarios.

The training module has since been completed by approximately 700 Browse employees and contractors, over 86% of which rated their experience as good, very good or excellent.

We would like to thank everyone from Sentient, Woodside and Torq who were involved with both the development of the module and the submission entry, for their valuable contributions towards this award.
