The Process Based Assessment & Training simulation, produced by DeSai, for The Hartford eBTS Training group, wins the bronze award for Best Practices in Brandon-Hall's 2003 Excellence in e-Learning Awards

From a record number of more than 170 entries, The Hartford eBTS Training Group won the bronze award for a process based simulation in Brandon-Hall's 2003 Excellence in e-Learning Award for Best Practices. DeSai Learning developed the entry titled, Process Based Assessment and Training.

The training uses intelligent technology that simulates the learner's work environment to assess their skill mastery through real-life interaction. The results are presented to the learner in a Learning Plan, linked to training modules related to deficient skills. Working closely with The Hartford, the instructional design team assessed the learning objectives and audience, storyboarded, and developed the entire program.

All entries underwent rigorous multi-phase review by 189 independent judges with expertise in instructional design, online learning and organizational change. Numerical ratings based on specific criteria were averaged to determine each entry's rankings, and winners were selected from three categories - Best Practices, Custom Content and Innovative Technology. The winners received a Gold, Silver, or Bronze award.
