Corporate scandal, labor reductions, economic recession. The past year has been a sobering experience for the average worker, a return of the nose-to-the-grindstone work ethic, and a time to roll up the shirt sleeves and get serious. You’ve seen your workload increase, your pay frozen, and your training budgets cut. And to make matters worse, you’ve seen expectations for ROI (Return on Investment)rise and e-learning companies fall.
Need a tissue? It’s not that bad. Honest. Despite what you may have heard, fun is not dead. In the burgeoning niche of game-based e-learning, a group of companies are using the video games kids(and adults)play as inspiration for delivering learning that counters workers’ reluctance towards training and offers an antidote to the stress that many are under. Now that incentives of a pay increase or promotion are being reigned in by higher ups, employees are less enthusiastic about taking time away from their jobs for training—managers even less so. These game-based e-learning applications counter by being fun, engaging, and in some cases, addictive.
But, as can be expected, e-learning that draws heavily on video games in a coat-and-tie culture is often a tough sell. Advanced games and simulations don’t come cheap. Development costs for custom-designed games often top the million dollar mark and purchase prices are typically several hundred thousand dollars. Such an investment matches the cost of in-classroom training. With training budget cuts, companies that are on the fence are unwilling to take a chance on an unproven mode of delivery. Pragmatism and proven technology rule the day, as companies decide what they really need and suppliers figure out how to deliver. For some in the game-based e-learning segment, the mood is rather pensive. For them, fun isn’t dead. It’s just on pause.
For others, it’s game on. Companies such as LearningWare, Corporate Adrenalin, and Games2Train are finding success by delivering within a tight budget and providing back-end data to ensure that games earn their keep. Even in the midst of this economic slump, game-based e-learning is demonstrating its potential to improve the way we train and do business.
What happens to LearningWare, Corporate Adrenalin, and Games2Train?
选项
A、They are optimistic but cautious about e-learning.
B、They are successful even in the economic recession.
C、They will become profitable when the economy revives.
D、They will be provided with low-budget training programs.
答案
B
解析
最后一段第2句的are finding success表明这些公司现在已取得了成功,而下一句开头的Even inthe midst of this economic slump表明现在经济正处于下滑当中,B结合了这两句的内容,因此B是本题答案。A中的cautious没有原文依据;C的前半部分正确,但后半部分没有原文依据;D中的low—budgettraining programs由这些公司提供,而不是提供给这些公司的,因此D所陈述的关系不正确。
