Orlando, FL – Engineering & Computer Simulations (ECS) announced today that the Cross-Cultural Competence Trainer (3CT) Mobile was selected as a finalist in the 2012 Serious Games Showcase & Challenge (SGS&C), which is held annually at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC). The Joint Staff J7, Joint & Coalition Warfighting (JCW), Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) submitted the entry into the Mobile and Government categories. Engineering & Computer Simulations developed the game under contract to Joint Knowledge Online.
3CT is a non-theater specific culture training course comprised of a military track and a civilian track including mission specific lessons such as humanitarian assistance/disaster relief and provincial reconstruction teams (PRTs). The 3CT Mobile course is a companion to the course on JKO and will allow users to receive credit as if they took it on their computer. 3CT Mobile has interactive serious game scenarios for each lesson. ECS converted the desktop version of 3CT to a cross-platform mobile version in support of Joint Knowledge Online.
“We are honored to be able to compete against other serious games across government, industry and academia,” stated Matt Spruill, Vice President and Chief Technologist for ECS. “The opportunity to not only produce 3CT Mobile for JKO but also to be a part of the Serious Games Showcase & Challenge booth at I/ITSEC this year is tremendously rewarding.”
