PIXELearning is an eLearning company which combines technology, the creative arts and, most importantly, an understanding of how people really learn in 21st century society.

The company was established in 2002 specifically to provide eLearning experiences which are designed, from the ground up, using game-based approaches and technologies.

The company's ethos is that technology is best used in a learning context when it allows people to: communicate, collaborate, share ideas and knowledge; and, apply information and theory in a safe but realistic simulation of real life situations.

The 'Serious Games' solutions which we provide do not simply deliver information to learners. They provide realistic, detailed simulations of environments, situations and events that help the learner to build a deep understanding of the subject matter at hand.

Screens full of text and images are no substitute for true interactivity; i.e. the ability to explore ancient cities and visualise historical artifacts, practise dealing with difficult customers or experience the real life complexity of running a small business.We believe that:

‘Interactive’ IS NOT clicking on a hyperlink to open a new HTML page.

‘Interactive’ IS about providing the user with the opportunity to make a decision and for that decision to immediately or ultimately change the information, choices and options available to them.

‘Engaging’ IS NOT simply providing images, fancy animations, audio and video.

‘Engaging’ IS about providing a user experience that stimulates, for example, cognitive, emotional or psychological responses. It is about capturing the essence, the drama, the pleasure, the wonder, the excitement, the humour, the challenge and ultimately, the satisfaction provided by Quake, Tomb Raider, The Sims or a plethora of other top video games.

‘Effective’ IS NOT demonstrated by a simple multiple choice quiz or ‘happy sheet’.

‘Effective’ means that the learner is able to confidently and professionally carry out new, demanding tasks and roles in their workplace or, perhaps, be able to vividly describe what it was like to live in the land of the Pharaohs. A truly effective learning experience will yield observable and measurable changes in the way a person behaves, performs and thinks.
