E-Learning Content

Here is an example of how to use the mobile fim studio

How we can support you:

The best digital training strategies fail if the e-learning content does not suit the users. It must be effective, entertaining, clearly presented, modular and responsive to the needs of the user. This e-learning content consists of all kinds of information (e.g. texts, videos, lectures, pictures, games) aimed at different target groups and interested parties such as end users or IT professionals. It can be edited and prepared for learning, or it can be an automated recording (e. g. video of an event). Content is used e.g. in LMS / Learning Management Systems, Internet portals or other sources. Depending on the learning objective or the subject to be learnt, the contents differ in their presentation and handling.

Creation of training and learning videos (work safety, onboarding, rollout topics, news, etc.).
Instructions (installation & operating instructions).
Internal communication (speeches, documentations).
External communication (trade fair messages, advertising).
TV formats (info, interviews on new topics) and professional video blogs.
Live streaming during recording (keynotes, online workshops).
Enrichment of face-to-face events (blended learning, virtual presentation).

Gamification – Play your way to success.

Gamification stands for the use of game-typical elements and mechanics in a non-game context, such as learning. It can be used to practice for real-world situations in a safe environment. It is a good way to motivate and engage users through fun, social interactions (teamwork), competitive elements (points, awards, levels), and self-development (own use of a character with an avatar). Likewise, users strive to figure out the complete story of a game and then play through the game to the end. Through interaction, the user receives immediate feedback.

Gamification: use of game-typical elements and mechanics in a non-game context

Serious Gaming: a game whose primary purpose is not to entertain the players, but to learn or change their behaviours

Gamebased Learning: teaching method - gaining competence through learning based on games

The mode of action of gamification is mainly explained by motivational psychological approaches. It focuses on three innate basic human needs, namely

The need to experience oneself as effective, functional, and competent,
The need to experience oneself as personally autonomous, proactive, and self-determined.
The need for social inclusion.

Overall, most studies show a positive correlation between gamification and motivation and productivity.

The goal at the company: Improvment of teamwork

Gamification is not about turning work into a game. Rather, it's about mixing game mechanics with work to make it more interesting while increasing employee productivity.
Mixing game elements and meaningful rewards with daily activities helps keep employees' attention and encourages them to do their best.
A large portion of today's workforce is made up of millennials. These generally demand instant recognition for their work. Implementing a gamification platform that provides instant rewards and recognition when tasks are completed helps increase these employees' engagement and productivity at work.

Adaptive learning

Adaptive learning

Adaptive learning takes it account the learner’s level of knowledge (e.g. through mini progress tests) so that topics that are already known can be skipped and the learner can focus on what’s new.

Online

Online

Online means that the user or a device (e.g. a webcam) is ready to be used or connected to the internet. This is the opposite of offline or a standalone device. Online is often used to describe activities such as online marketing, online shopping, online banking and online learning.

Artificial intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence (AI)

AI enables computers and machines to experience and resolve problems by copying cognitive functions we associate with the human mind. To do so, machines need to process a huge amount of data and very good language processing. AI can be used for games (such as chess), controlling cars, simulation, understanding languages for intelligent routing, plus much more.

Augmented reality

Augmented reality

Augmented reality (AR) means combining the real world with virtual elements and/or additional information (e.g. for tourists or broadcasting sports events).

Authoring tool

Authoring tool

A very easy-to-use software as a component for creating e-learning courses and other content. This tool can be used to integrate texts, images, videos and animations as content and deploy them for various formats.

Avatar

Avatar

In IT, an avatar is a graphical representation of a person that can be used for e-mails, games, etc.

Educational evaluation

Educational evaluation

By regularly evaluating success, it can be determined if investing in personal development was worth it. This includes participant satisfaction, measuring learning gains, transferring lessons learned into practice in the workplace as well as company success/ROI.

Blended learning

Blended learning

Blended learning tends to be an effective combination of in-person classes and e-learning. E-learning can be used as preparation for an in-person class as well as for more advanced content.

Coaching

Coaching

A coach provides professional and proactive support to develop own solutions to achieve desired goals.

Content

Content

Content is made up of all kinds of information (e.g. text, videos, presentations, images, games, etc.) that can be aimed at various target groups and interested parties such as students, pupils, end users, and employees. On the one hand, it can be edited for learning, but on the other it can also be an automatic recording (e.g. a video of a live event). Content can be used for LMS, in internet portals and other sources.

Digital

Digital

Digital information (CDs, DVDs, data and videos saved on a computer) are saved as binary numbers (ones and zeros) as computers can only read this kind of code. This data can be easily copied without quality being impaired.

E-book

E-book

An e-book is a digital publication that can be read on a computer or dedicated e-book reader. An e-book normally comes with digital rights management (DRM) that prevents the content being read on unauthorised devices. The majority of e-books support text, images, chapters, highlighting and notes as well as bookmarks and links.

E-learning

E-learning

E-learning describes independent learning using electronic media regardless of time and place. This can be done using a CD/DVD, a Learning Management System (LMS), or the internet.

Gamification

Gamification

Gamification means the use of game-typical elements in something that is not a game, such as for learning. This enables learners to practice for real-live events in safe environments. It’s a good way to motivate and engage users through fun, social interactions (team work), competitive elements ( points, awards, levels), and self-development (use of an avatar as a character). Users also aim to discover the complete story behind a game and see it through to the end. The user receives immediate feedback through interactions.

Interactive

Interactive

Interactive means a two-way communication (question and answer) with an interactive website, e-learning course or virtual classroom. The system and/or teacher can see if you are online, if you have understood the lesson and if you are ready for the next.

Learning Management System (LMS)

LMS / Learning Management System

An LMS is a platform where learning materials and all kinds of information (videos, PDFs, instructions, technical documentation, product presentations, explanatory videos, virtual 3D presentations, manuals, trailers, advertising slogan as content) can be saved, The VWS (Video Management System) complements the LMS by ensuring, for example, that all video files can be optimally viewed on all mobile devices and can be accessed via a browser by all users from every end devices. Course allocation and assessments are all part of the package.

Virtual classroom

Virtual classroom

A virtual classroom is an online room that allows for an experience that is broadly similar to face-to-face training. Users tend to access these rooms from a mobile device or through a browser without having to download anything. The most common tools in a virtual classroom are video conferences with attendance management, an interactive whiteboard, chat, document viewing, breakout rooms and a mini quiz.

Virtual reality

Virtual reality

Virtual reality (VR) is an artificial interactive world created by a computer that normally has sound and images. This can be based on something real, but doesn’t have to be. VR is sued in flight simulators, for prototype testing and for training purposes.

Web seminar

Web seminar

Just as with a virtual classroom, this enables one person to communicate with many, but a web seminar is geared more towards larger groups. For this reason, elements such as invitations, participation management, chat, surveys/polls, tests as well as streaming and sharing audio, video and documents are essential.
