Virtual Worlds and Compliance

Here is an interesting move in the virtual world space.

ProtonMedia and Kaplan EduNeering recently integrated their respective technologies to create a new way for life sciences organizations to meet regulatory and compliance regulations. The companies have combined ProtonMedia’s ProtoSphere virtual immersive environment (VIE) with Kaplan EduNeering’s ComplianceWire learning management system.

With this integration,  a company can now schedule, launch, and track ProtoSphere virtual meetings, conferences, and other learning sessions from ComplianceWire.

In addition, companies can access, share, and collaborate on ComplianceWire courseware, SOPs, other materials in ProtoSphere. The result gives companies a secure way to add live, virtual collaboration and learning events to their online compliance training curricula, improving colleague interaction and knowledge transfer without the costs and time of travel.

The integration of ProtoSphere and ComplianceWire lets learners securely interact with one another and content around compliance issues in all of the ways they interact face-to-face. This provides real-time learning and training across every stage of the product life cycle, speeding collaborative decision making, while meeting regulatory requirements. Here’s how.

• Ability to launch ProtoSphere events from the ComplianceWire “To Do” List instantly brings learners into their virtual classroom with their peers.
• ProtoSphere usage reporting lets administrators track metrics, including how long learners spend within sessions, levels of participation, and VoIP and text chat usage. This also lets administrators set benchmarks for completion when electronic signatures are not required.
• ComplianceWire tracking lets administrators record and monitor learners’ successful completion of live virtual events.
• Ability to link to ComplianceWire courseware, SOP’s, and other materials in ProtoSphere’s Media Carousel andPresentation Boards quickly shares compliance and regulatory course materials with all learners in the ProtoSphere zone, where they can discuss and collaborate on them.
• Single sign-on lets learners login to ProtoSphere or ComplianceWire once, and have access to both platforms.
