"We are thrilled to be in the company of some of the most innovative thought leaders in distance learning - a true testament to the impact that our game is having on the teaching and learning experience," said André Thomas, CEO of Triseum. "Innovation means different things to different people, but to our team, innovation means taking a static learning experience and making it dynamic, innovation means empowering students to play a more active role in the learning process so they can explore and develop new knowledge, and innovation means inspiring students to learn in more meaningful ways. Variant: Limits achieves all of these markers, and we couldn't be more proud of the research, collaboration and imagination that went into the creation of our game."
"As a premier organization for the entire distance learning profession, we are honoring Triseum as a leader in the industry," said Dr. John G. Flores, Executive Director of USDLA. "Triseum has raised the bar of excellence and we are truly honored by its contributions within all distance learning constituencies."
The USDLA Awards were created to acknowledge major accomplishments in distance learning and to highlight those distance learning instructors, programs and professionals who have achieved and demonstrated extraordinary results through the use of online, videoconferencing, satellite and blended learning delivery technologies. As part of the USDLA Awards, Triseum had to demonstrate how Variant: Limits engages and contributes to the advancement of distance learning; how it uses tools, methods and/or pedagogy creatively and in a unique manner; how it addresses a need or problem in distance learning; and how its impact and progress is being measured and monitored.
“This year’s USDLA Award recipient Triseum represents the finest examples of online courses, best practices and leadership in our field. The depth and breadth of the USDLA membership allows us to engage with leaders from higher education, K-12, industry, military and government who daily demonstrate the power of distance learning.
