Enspire Learning Honored With Macromedia E-Learning Innovation Award

Austin, Texas - August 1, 2002 - Enspire Learning, a leading e-learning content developer, announced today that its Global Supply Chain Management Simulation was selected as an honoree in Macromedia's E-Learning Innovation Awards Program. Enspire's simulation was awarded an Honorable Mention for Technical Achievement in the Corporate/Government Training category.

Macromedia cited both the technical design as well as the usefulness of the application as reasons for the award. The simulation teaches supply chain management concepts by putting users in decision-making roles during all phases of a product rollout. An innovative instructional methodology uses a sophisticated game for teaching concepts and problem-solving techniques. The application adapts to the decisions users make, and learners can quickly see if they are on the right track or if they need to make adjustments to their plans.

The Macromedia E-Learning Innovation Awards Program was created in order to encourage the development of computer and web-based e-learning applications using Macromedia tools. The award is bestowed quarterly and recognizes outstanding instructional design and innovative e-learning content.

"We are honored to be recognized by Macromedia as a leader in the development of interactive online simulation," said Enspire CEO Bjorn Billhardt. "Online simulations are highly effective learning tools and our applications have a proven track record of motivating learners and increase retention with engaging multimedia and interactivity."

Clients such as SAP, NYU, and Harvard Business School have successfully used Enspire simulations in their corporate and executive education programs. Enspire Learning's unique simulation engine allows quick customization of its simulations and interactive courses to different corporate and higher education environments.
