Immersive Professional Development Semio is a simulation-based learning platform designed to boost professional training efficacy and results. As trainees play, Semio gathers metrics on performance that can be cross-referenced with data from other cloud-based services like Salesforce.com. This data provides insight for both trainees and managers into learning and behavior change.
