Oakton, VA., January, 2015 - HR Avatar, Inc. project work has won the prestigious 2014 Gold MarCom Award by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP).
Judges of the MarCom awards are industry professionals who look for companies and individuals whose talent exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry.
The winning project, Testifying Made Easy, is a web-based course that teaches witnesses how to behave when testifying. Testifying Made Easy uses a unique blend of animation, live-action
video, and interactive branching exercises to make the learning process
informative and engaging. Animated characters introduce learners to a sample testimony and guide learners through best-practices. The custom project was created for the Office of General Counsel, and HR Avatar completed the work as a sub to SRA International.
HR Avatar's simulation platform makes it easy to create interactive training modules that are engaging and 508 accessible. Accessibility is a key requirement for all project work done for the Department of Veterans Affairs. In addition to being visually engaging, all video includes closed captioning, keyboard accessibility, and can be accessed by multiple screen readers, including NVDIA and Jaws.
HR Avatar also received an Honorable Mention for Cultural Competence and Your Career at VA, an online training program created for the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at VA, as a sub to SRA International.
Animation is ideal for training simulations. Learners experience training that visually appealing and more immersive than live-action video. "With animated video, learners are more likely to suspend their disbelief and focus on the content of the scenarios being presented," explains Shoa Appelman, VP of Client Services at HR Avatar. "We're really pleased the MarCom award committee recognized this work as a high standard of excellence." HR Avatar's catalog of over 40 professional characters allows training developers to design work-place simulations that are visually engaging and effective training tools.
