OAK GROVE WINS SIX OMNI INTERACTIVE MEDIA AWARDS

Friday, July 11th, 2014

Omni Intermedia Awards has recognized Oak Grove Technologies’ work with six OMNI awards for excellence in instructional design and media.

Parenting for Servicemembers and Veterans is the winner of two gold Omni Awards in the Government and Education category. Parenting is a media rich, interactive course in which accessible design was applied throughout the development process. This course uses videos of real families to help users “connect” with the course content, and create a memorable learning experience. Parenting provides tools and resources to improve parenting skills and to create opportunities for Service members and Veterans to reconnect with their families after military deployment. This project was a collaborative effort between Oak Grove and the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Mental Health Services.

Moving Forward: Overcoming Life’s Challenges is the winner of two silver Omni Awards in the Government and Education category. Moving Forward is an interactive training program that teaches Veterans and Servicemembers skills for overcoming life problems. Its goals are to improve optimism, reduce stress, improve the ability to manage emotions, reduce avoidance and teach thoughtful problem solving skills. The course houses eight modules that progressively teach methods that can be used to solve many different problems including transitioning back to civilian life, maintaining good relationships with family and friends, dealing with difficult memories from deployment, handling financial responsibilities and more. This project was a collaborative effort between Oak Grove and the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Mental Health Services.

The web-mediated self-help series is part of a collaborative effort of the Department of Defense, National Center for Telehealth and Technology and VA’s Mental Health Informatics Section and was developed as part of the Integrated Mental Health Strategy, a joint initiative of the two departments.

The Learn about STEM Careers tutorial was recognized with two bronze Omni Awards for Children’s and Internet Delivery categories. Over the last year, the project team collaboratively conducted literature reviews on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education and started integrating STEM education into the ASVAB Career Exploration Program website. Our approach is to make STEM more accessible to all students by shifting the focus away from stereotypical scientists with advanced degrees to more relatable role models to create an opportunity to open a young person’s eyes to the potential of what he/she could be. The STEM Tutorial was developed to empower young people participating in the ASVAB CEP to think creatively about ways they can impact the world around them. The tutorial explains the importance of a strong STEM workforce in the global economy, and it sheds light on the variety of ways an individual can meet his/her career goals.
