In 2012, The Danish Simulator (DS) was put to the test in terms of whether the online language and culture learning platform could substitute a given percentage of traditional teacher based Danish language classes, while maintaining confrontation hour numbers and passing rates, and without lowering the quality of the experience or service provided. Based on the target of “increasing efficiency and creating savings without compromising the quality of the delivered service,” the project was a success.
The Danish Simulator (DS) is an online language and culture learning platform developed by the Resource Center for Integration in Vejle, Denmark, in cooperation with private engineer Troels Myram, Odense and Alelo Inc, Los Angeles, based primarily on Alelo technology and previous work on the Digital Pronunciation Trainer (DPT).
The purpose of the DS project has been to test whether the DS platform could substitute a given percentage of the traditional teacher based Danish classes at the language centers in Denmark, while maintaining an unchanged number of confrontation hours and passing rate, without lowering the quality of the experience or service provided by an actual teacher.
The report concluded that, based on the target of “increasing efficiency and creating savings without compromising the quality of the delivered service,” the project has been a success.
