This is the fourth consecutive year that TIS has won the prestigious Brandon Hall Learning Excellence Awards.

The gold award in the category of 'Best Use of Virtual Worlds for Learning' was for the simulation 'The Store - Through the Associate's Eyes' developed for Shoppers Drug Mart, Canada. The simulation helped increase speed-to-productivity and comfort levels of new Associate Store Owners.
