CSA Standards acquires a serious games platform
CSA Standards acquires a serious games platform
Toronto, June 5, 2009 - CSA Standards acquired the serious games platform created by DISTIL Interactive. CSA Standards and DISTIL Interactive have been working together for more than two years and produced eight interactive eLearning (serious games) tools. This platform has won two international awards and creates game-like situations to help users learn - everything from how to report accidents to building environmental or quality management systems. We intend to support and nurture this platform and use it to expand our existing roster of educational offerings.
The former DISTIL team remains in Ottawa at a new address. They are now located at:
155 Queen StreetSuite 1300Ottawa, ONK1P 6L1
CSA Standards is very excited to expand its service offerings through this acquisition. We will continue to build upon this innovative, Canadian-based platform in order to provide interactive training solutions and help us achieve our vision of a better, safer, more sustainable world where standards work for people and business.
