Measure the impact and obtain meaningful metrics for your sustainability report . 2. Serious Games for Employee Training and Corporate Culture Transmission Are your employees lacking motivation when it comes to training and upskilling processes? Do you want to improve the effectiveness of these processes and obtain meaningful metrics and new insights from them?

We apply andragogical training principles that value the role and experience of learners through active and intentional learning . 3. Serious games for k12 training and educational projects Are you looking for a format that adapts to the changing needs of engagement and different learning styles and needs ? Do you need support to update your lesson materials with a focus on inclusivity and personalized learning ?

Descrizione
Whitesock consultancy begins by identifying project objectives (learning objectives) and defining qualitative KPIs for monitoring and reporting.
We then delve into the contents and design a tailor-made game concept in which the problem-solving activity is based on the knowledge and skills we want to develop or on the educational message we want to convey.

After approval of the concept, we take care of defining the design, technical specifications, and quality requirements in detail and organizing a production plan with milestones and deliverables.
Using an Agile approach, features are implemented in iterations with testing and validation. Customers are involved in real-time communication through production chat and task management systems.

After release, we support customers with QA, press kit materials, and content marketing. In collaboration with the University of Florence, we offer impact analysis services for the developed game.

Verificato da Sortlist

We work with Whitesock on international EU-funded projects. We were struck by the team's accuracy in exploring the dynamics and real scenarios of the situations to be rendered in the game, without ever settling on clichés. Another great ability is to define the didactic and educational objectives of the game relevant and specific for each project, communicating with international and decidedly multidisciplinary teams. In a short time they became our partner of choice for game design activities.

Verificato da Sortlist

The work of Whitesock on the Prosperia, Chef Adventure and Simbioasi projects has been very important because it has allowed us to successfully use the language of gaming in schools. Whitesock has been able to interpret the briefing and transform our content into original and engaging games that successfully explain value-based content, encouraging children to make conscious choices from a young age. Whitesock has proven to be a reliable and competent partner in creating effective, inclusive educational projects with a significant media impact.
