Customer Testimonials
See what our happy clients have to say about working with us and the results they achieved.
"Muzzy Lane's tools are a game changer. With the use of a solid prompt and concept, the tools create an engaging interactive simulation in minutes with the ability to fine-tune and edit as needed. I was able to create simulations that allow learners to practice their skills in a real-world scenario without spending countless hours developing the content from scratch. It allows open-response interactions that require learners to think critically and provides the opportunity for honesty in a safe space."
Nicol Dunn
Colorado State University Global
"I've used Author in Teacher Education courses, Nursing courses, and General Ed courses, and it's great for engaging students with complicated, abstract concepts in fresh and compelling ways."
Kelly Morris
Western Governors University
"As an instructor, I have used Muzzy Lane simulations because they promote critical thinking and problem-solving, which are important career readiness skills. The activities allow students to analyze information, make decisions, and quickly see outcomes - something I couldn't do in my classes in the past!"
Patrick Soleymani
George Mason University
"I had a great experience working with Muzzy Lane on the development of three simulations for our course HIS350: World War I. It is a credit to their development process and the Author tool that the simulations have continued to run smoothly for each group of students in the course since 2016, even as we changed our LMS."
Mary Berkery
Excelsior University
"Muzzy Lane's tools and capabilities for creating interactive simulations have helped us solve two critical issues. First, the simulations have dramatically enhanced the learner experience. Perhaps more importantly for our institutional partners, they have helped us scale assessment, which is a game-changer in the world of digital badging."
