DESCRIPTION

The Unipart Group is a global company with manufacturing, logistics, and consultancy operations. Unipart’s classroom training demanded 3-4 days to complete, so they looked to reduce face-to-face training time. Unipart wanted to use digital learning to improve its training model by introducing a logistics-based interactive game.

 

Unipart approached us to transform their classroom training into a high end, engaging and effective digital solution. The Unipart Level 2 module was seen as the first step to creating a more comprehensive learning repository with transactional and manufacturing games to follow in future.

 

We spent time with Unipart, thoroughly analysing their needs before designing a solution. This work created a high-end, interactive digital learning: a 3D scenario-based game with animations and videos.

 

We streamlined content around a series of real-life challenges that help learners understand the core Unipart principles, the Unipart way and operational excellence tools. As learners account for and solve problems or identify areas of concern,  they become familiar with the process and tools and understand the importance of collaboration in a team.

 

The game was delivered as easy-to-follow, animated story segments, video training sections and scenario-based challenges to put the theory into context.

 

The game provided the flexibility that the client was looking for. The player could complete the game across multiple sessions, allowing them to dip in and out at any point. They could save, bookmark, exit and return at any game point.

 

Since tracking and user progress were key to the delivery of the module, we developed the module using XAPI instead of SCORM.

 

XAPI statements gave Unipart a holistic view of the overall learning experience, and granular insights about the specific objects learners interacted with. For example, it allowed them to track completions, answers selected, and their path through the learning. And highlight parts where learners spent more or less time.

 

We worked closely with the Unipart IT team to help them develop their own LRS compatible with XAPI standards and integrated the module to work in sync with it. The solution was therefore accessible on multiple devices using standards-compliant browsers.
