With zest®, your teams move from spectators to active participants, fully engage, develop their skills with enjoyment, and strengthen their commitment, two essential ingredients for success.

Interactions That Truly Influence Learning Progress

In the gamified training programs and serious games developed with zest®, every decision matters. Each choice can alter the scenario and impact the learner’s journey. Mistakes are part of the process (and are always recoverable) because learning happens through experimentation and trial. At the same time, good decisions are reinforced through multi-sensory feedback and positive consequences.

This immediate cause-and-effect logic encourages learners to think critically, analyze situations, and make informed decisions, just as they would in real professional contexts.

Learners don’t engage to pass a quiz; they engage to complete a mission, solve a challenge, and achieve a goal. This level of immersion is what truly changes the game in competency development.

Proven Results in Real-World Training

The impact speaks for itself. For a training program developed in collaboration with the Canadian Association of Nurses in Family Practice (CFPNA), Université de Sherbrooke, and Memorial University, using the zest tool, participants reported:

• 75.5% positive learning experience
• 86% improved understanding
• 80% enhanced professional practice

A Tool Designed for Modern, Scalable Learning

zest® was built to meet the demands of modern learning environments: seamless user experience, integrated game mechanics, actionable data for managers, and modular design. Each training project is fully customized, without the cost or development time of a full-scale video game.

By combining technology, instructional design, and gamification, pardeux® delivers a scalable, high-impact learning solution tailored to today’s organizations.

Read the testimonial from Marie-Ève Poitras to see zest® in action: “The program has demonstrated exceptional quality and innovation throughout its development and implementation. Participants consistently highlighted the dynamism of the training, the engaging design, and the relevance of the clinical integration context, particularly in primary care settings. The learning activities were thoughtfully designed to make the content accessible, interactive, and meaningful for nurses.”

This training project also won a Brandon Hall Gold Award in the category Best Advance in Content Management Technology. The Brandon Hall Awards recognize the world’s leading e-learning solutions.

If you’re looking for a radically different level of interactivity, look no further you’ve found it. zest® is where technological innovation, modern pedagogy, and the pleasure of learning come together to create engaging, effective, and long-lasting learning experiences.
