e-Learning and Simulation Envisioning a Solid Platform Amidst Tiring Environments

Every day is an opportunity to learn, apply and review. This wonderful coexistence is always the driving factor for any innovation or changes to take place. In the era of a first glitter snatch, the bottom-line however is to study the fruition and to clearly understand how well it can be incorporated in the future.

The latest trends which we follow on a daily basis are always part of the technological revolution. Whether we are a part of it or not, it is undeniable that we fall to the user category always.

Advantage Integration

The future is longing for sophistication, and with the induction of cloud, web applications have found the answers for the growling need to deliver remote solutions on-time. At GSE systems it is a constant push to enable new product developments. Our line of EnVisionTM comprises a blend of narrative and simulative environment on the backdrop of certain training applications like e-Learning and Real time Simulation tools. The Windows form and MCV architecture run for web applications with other driving technologies to enhance such as, multimedia content development and multilingual tools and database tools through SQL. The simulation tools however need the power of programs like C/C++, and the right type of application conjugating the Graphical user Interface can be incorporated by MFC type object oriented framework, which follows a certain pattern in the execution of programs. The famous numerical methods and partial differentiation equations have always aided industries to solve any complex engineering problems thereby providing approximate but acceptable results. All these require integrative qualities to capacitate one another. Cross platform applications used on a certain computer can also be used on a mobile or a tablet using (android, windows and iOS) various applications. This is the trend , which I am referring to.

With all these new developing trends being set, I also foresee that, there exists a tight integration of learning content with the emergence of blogs prospecting informative interaction and sites like Wiki, providing the all pervasive knowledge.

The Content Challenge

With the advent of tablets with the major integrative cross platform tools, it is only fair I view a deficit for a rich visual learning through less availability of tools that create media rich learning content. There exists a problem. Many a Content and Learning Management systems which could incorporate industrial standards and specifications such as, SCORM and AICC have compatibility mutation. The answer though may be evident for time through HTML5 markup language, supporting the latest multimedia, but not to forget it is only for the future adoption.

Favoring the East

Though all the manufacturing and operative processes are now automated, it only requires a human intervention to skillfully comprehend to the operability of the machine. It is scary to think of less skilled labor power like we have in the east coast side, while we have a sophisticated set up of refineries and equipments to manage various business operations and project management. However we have a usual prodigy from the Gulf coast. But this is our real challenge, to convert the minority as multitasking performers for our chemical plants, as we encourage a master degree candidate to self develop the potent in him by closely monitoring and mentoring through our alliances with various colleges.

The ever upgrading technology in its fast lane has left industrial leaders reeling for continuous adaptation. The reverse integration and backward compatibility ensures that there exists a yielding service amidst the changing environments. There is a need for this. Value addition through innovations simplifies the way things are actually managed. Cost effective solutions are cocooned from the productive workforce, and the emerging talents are only seen at novel adoptions of mobile devices or tech savvy social applications rather than at traditional practices. The result we hence see is that companies are at loggerheads facing the competition game.

A Leveled up Progress

The juggernaut of the process is for a long stop. Companies now initiate things quickly to attract customers. The potential of the initiation is what propels the heavy truck. I would highly regard for a set definite processes.
1) Assign and update your workforce with the latest tech developments through exposing them to various journals, arranging conferences and I always mind for a trade fair walk for our people to understand and implement the latest.
2) An open ear to your customers is what makes an enterprise innovate. Regular teleconferences and meetings would add to the innovative quotient and help customers to have solutions which were once assumed elusive.

3) Once the above initiations are incorporated, resting on a complacent deck would mitigate the process. Regular reviews from employees on new ideas would help analyze and adapt to the most suitable solution. At GSE, a drive to an idea is always innovative and productive. And we always have the prototype to visualize and then the realization is not far after a satisfied customer feedback. Further one has to also prospect the market landscape and the scope of timely deployment. The fact that innovations happen each day and we do not see its realization is due to this factor.


The integration through learning and visualizing is a great leverage to adapt to, encouraging fresh minds of students, workers to enhance the futuristic way to adapt to timely changing environments. (As told to Durgesh Prakash)
