The Evolving
21st Century Classroom

Come tour FM Global's latest innovation in learning - our $5 million hands-on engineering training facility called the SimZone.

 

Learn how we made the business case to executive management and how it's changing our whole approach to learning, including incorporating the use of tablets both before class ever begins and within the SimZone itself. You'll also see other ways FM Global is updating the classroom experience through the use of SmartBoards.

 

The SimZone was recently the subject of a case study in Chief Learning Officer magazine, as seen here: http://ow.ly/hRxBB
