Vancouver, BC – February 18, 2015 – Erickson Coaching International, the leading Canadian coaching and training organization, has teamed up with award-winning learning technology company Growth Engineering to launch the new online academy for The Art & Science of Coaching.
Building on the organization’s history as the first to market for true webinar-based training, Erickson will be integrating the latest adult learning theory and principles with Growth Engineering’s technologically advanced Learning Management System (LMS), ranked the best NextGen LMS in the world by e-learning expert Craig Weiss.
“We’re very excited about our partnership with Growth,” said Marilyn Atkinson, founder of Erickson. “The breadth of the tools and offerings of its Academy LMS mean we can really enrich the learning environment for our students. We’re especially excited about the opportunity to offer interactive technologies which make the entire learning process more engaging and enjoyable.”
Erickson’s new Online Academy is a next generation educational portal using Growth Engineering’s gamified social LMS to create vibrant, engaged learning communities. It enables learners to comment, rate content and post videos and images. It also incorporates gamification features such as badges, achievements and leader boards, which help to engage and motivate them to take an active role in their own learning and development. Learners rate it very highly in terms of both enjoyment and effectiveness of learning.
Growth Engineering has proven success in securing learner engagement and delivering sustained educational change for other global institutions, such as CISCO and HP. This partnership will enable Erickson to continue its reputation as a global leader in the coach training space.
