(Vienna, VA — April 23, 2013)
C² has been awarded the Learning Technology Award for Exemplary Practice at the 14th annual CorpU Learning Excellence and Innovation Awards. CorpU, the leading talent development insight and education provider, presented the awards during a gala dinner on April 22, 2013 as part of the 14th annual Global Leadership Congress at the University of Pennsylvania’s historically significant Penn Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology in Philadelphia, PA.

C² developed the winning project for the U.S. Army’s 3-6 ADA unit based at Fort Sill, OK. The Patriot Missile App addresses the challenge of ingraining critical battlefield skills needed by American warriors to complete their missions and objectives successfully, free of the limitations associated with having to access reference materials where little or no data connectivity is available. The app complements rigorous academic training with a convenient, mobile, challenging exercise that can be used anytime and anywhere.

Equivalent PC-based software allows instructors to demonstrate tactics during classroom lectures, with students being able to follow along on their phones prior to practicing on their own in an engaging 3D environment. Among the app’s key features are its versatility and flexibility, which allow it to be adapted, updated, and deployed to deliver just-in-time training to warfighters wherever they are.

The CorpU Awards for Learning Excellence and Innovation is the longest-running independent evaluation of corporate learning and talent programs. The awards honor corporate, non-profit and governmental learning organizations that improve both business and employee performance through Alignment, Alliances, Branding, Launching, Leadership Development, Learning Technology, and Measurement. A panel of independent expert judges from companies including Coca-Cola, Konica Minolta, Mars, and Microsoft scored the award applicants based on various criteria specific to each category.
