Thinking Worlds Scoops Hat Trick of International Awards
Thinking Worlds is the worlds leading 3D simulation authoring tool and engine which has been used to develop over 50 serious games. It is unique within the simulations market as it was built specifically for designers and learning specialists. Thinking Worlds allows non technical users to create their own rich 3D simulations and games in a fraction of the time and a fraction of the cost of other 3D engines. These highly engaging simulations can then easily be sent to users through browsers wherever they are in the world
These achievements were recognised by both the e-Learning Age awards and the Learn Trends awards. Thinking Worlds was the engine behind the game which scooped “Best Learning Game or Simulation” at the e-Learning age awards and also secured a silver award for “Most Innovative New Tool or Technology” at what is recognised as Europe’s most prestigious e-learning awards night. The judges citations included “…..Thinking Worlds is a great product idea that lets learning professionals create sophisticated 3D worlds on their own without any knowledge of coding”.
As these awards were being announced, Thinking Worlds was busy capturing the award for “Innovation in Learning” at the Learn Trends conference. This is an online conference that spans the globe and is run by some the US’s leading industry names. In presenting the award to Caspian, Jay Cross said that the tool was “really exciting, opened new opportunities and was just wonderful,” whilst George Siemens outlined the authoring tool’s simplicity of use and ability to create 3D immersive simulations for low cost and in a short timeframe as reasons why the tool was deserving of the award.
Graeme Duncan CEO of Caspian said “These awards and accolades demonstrate not just the great applications that can be built with Thinking Worlds, but also that the era of Rapid Sims is here. Learning professionals around the world are now able and embracing the opportunity to create their own 3D games for themselves”.
