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.
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.
