Company's games make serious learning fun

"People are much more interested if there's going to be a game," said Barbara Sealund, who founded the training company in 1985 after a career as a schoolteacher. "They don't want PowerPoint."

If this fun learning really catches on, then learning will be a pleasure instead of being a real pain.
