Denver, Colo. - October 25, 2006 - Articulate Engage received a bronze award for learning technology at the 2006 Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Awards ceremony, held Tuesday, October 24, at the Training Solutions Conference and Expo here. The award, which recognizes "outstanding examples of innovative learning," is based on a range of scored criteria, as well as overall creativity and business results.
"Since Engage was still in early development at the time we submitted the product for evaluation, we are especially proud it won a Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Award," said Adam Schwartz, president of Articulate. "Engage was released just this month, yet the deadline for awards submission was in April. We've made dramatic improvements to the product over the past six months. We're gratified by the judges' recognition of the power and ease-of-use of Engage -- even before the product was fully refined."
Articulate Engage is an easy-to-use software tool that allows anyone to create compelling learning interaction with stunning visual quality, all without the need for expensive design or programming.
Articulate Engage is often used in conjunction with Articulate Presenter, a complementary product for the creation of Flash-based e-learning courses from PowerPoint. Articulate Presenter won the gold award for innovative technology in the 2005 Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Awards.
Easy-to-use templates power Engage, and let users create rich-media interactivity in minutes. Users can choose from a wide range of interaction types, including process, timeline, pyramid diagram, labeled graphic, interactive FAQ, and more.
The Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Awards are presented annually by Brandon Hall Research, one of the leading research firms in training and development. Now in its 12th year, the awards program showcases exceptional work in the use of technology to enhance learning.
"The winning entries this year show great design and wonderful creativity," said Brandon Hall, Ph.D., chairman of the awards program. "These winners really set the standard for innovative learning."
Articulate Engage was recognized during a ceremony and reception held on Tuesday, October 24, 2006 in Denver, Colorado, as part of the 2006 Training Solutions Conference & Expo, held October 23-25. The winners are listed at www.brandon-hall.com.
