Shadowbox History
We began as a distribution partner for Nevada Learning Series quick reference guide – a perfect solution for organizations transitioning from word processing to computer desktop software. Within a few short years, we became the largest independent distributor of these award-winning guides. With an approach to provide quality customer service and supply premium products, and customer demand for additional training resources, we became the Canadian distributor for LearnKey.
We continued an evolution of meeting the needs of our clients, growing in expertise in health and safety. A great example is the UAW-GM global cultural change initiative on hazard awareness for skilled trades project that we were involved in.
In 2009 our production team began work on its first custom eLearning course – one of the certification requirements for technicians through the CFAA: Life Safety System Electronics. This course set a high benchmark for us to grow our design and production capability. From that point onward, we have gone on to produce hundreds of hours of custom training for post-secondary education, private enterprise, and regulatory organizations.
Since 2010 we’ve added key partners to supply Localization & Translation services – if you need to reach your customer base anywhere in the world, we can localize video, audio, text, and eLearning courses in 56 languages.
The sky is the limit when you have a talented group of individuals constantly pushing boundaries and staying ahead of the trends. In embracing opportunities, we’re creating video games as “Shadowbox Digital Studio” and flexing a whole new range of skills that can transform and enrich the way learners engage with education.
Viewing learning as a form of play, we set out to create video games that challenged and honed our skills. As indie game developers, we continue to experiment with new ideas and are excited to share them with our customers.
