The Gold award in the category of "Best Use of Virtual Worlds for Learning" was for the simulation "The Store - Through the Associate's Eyes" developed for Shoppers Drug Mart, Canada. The simulation helped increase speed-to-productivity and comfort levels of new associate store owners.

The two Silver awards in the category of "Best Use of Games for Learning" were for the Philips Outdoor Lighting Learning Game and Holland America Line Inspection Game. TIS's serious games enabled a new level of learner involvement and offered exciting training solutions for learners at Philips and Holland America Line to bridge the distance between "I have to finish this training" and "I want to play this game!"

The Bronze award in the category of "Best Custom Content" was for a solution designed for the Bahrain Institute of Public Administration (BIPA). The solution ensured effective resolution of conflicts and better customer service by BIPA's learners.
