DSA has been awarded the ISPI Award Of Excellence for Outstanding Human Performance Intervention 2007!

This year's award goes to DSA's submission for work with Learning Tree International, Inc.: RealityPlus™: Increasing Value Through Performance-Based Training

Learning Tree International, Inc. teamed up with DSA's custom course design services to design and develop a new learning experience that enhanced Learning Tree's renowned course quality.

The result is RealityPlus™, where participants are immersed in simulated real-world scenarios where they learn and practice new knowledge and skills hands-on in a dynamic, media-rich environment.

Authenticity is the key to this new approach. Video-based scenarios simulate real-life interpersonal interaction, where the learner makes decisions and take action based on information that is presented just as encountered on the job. Evaluation Levels I, II & III showed this approach to significantly increase participant satisfaction and on-the-job results.

Award presentations were made at ISPI's 2007 Annual Conference in San Francisco. The following write-up was used in the awards booklet:
