Deploying engaging training can be a challenge. When the Constellation Academy of Wine wanted to create an interactive experience for their Annual Sales Manager Meeting, they turned to our design partners Tandem Learning, who called upon Hybrid and the Avenue portal to create a Pervasive Learning Experience (PLE). 

Using Avenue as the central launch point, users accessed and entered information from their Blackberry Curve devices providing an immersive training experience even on the go. The experience had users interacting with a fictional hotel and bar, restaurant and event managers through websites and Facebook profiles created specifically for the event. As the users learned more about the locations and their clientele, it was up to them to select the correct wines for the venue.

How successful was it? According to the customer, players were "jumping up and down and saying 'I want to play more!'" The final experience hosted 389 users over three weeks and was delivered on time, on budget and provided an experience that the users won't soon forget.
