Experienced e-learning instructional designers
Our team of experienced e-learning instructional designers will review available materials. We will plan and organize them in an appropriate way in order to transform diverse and sometimes complex information into a clear, interactive and efficient e-learning programme.
When developing e-learning programme, our instructional designers conduct following activities: Identification of the target audience, Definition of aim and objectives of the course, Selection of the teaching methodology, Selection of forms and tools of knowledge and skills assessment, Proofreading and preparation of the training materials, Development of the detailed training outline and storyboard of the course, Design and development of interactive activities and games
Effective project management and rapid prototyping
The development of an electronic course can be a difficult and complex task that involves specialists from different disciplines. Our approach to project management includes close work with the client and rapid prototyping, with the emphasis on the fast development of the early prototype of the course with further development and modification.
User experience and interface design
Emotions and personalization shape the behavior of people, therefore, an accessible and impressive design is a powerful tool for attracting and retaining the attention of users, as well as increasing the effectiveness of learning.
Remember, you will never have a second chance to make a first impression, so engage people with exceptional UX / UI design from the very beginning.
Ease of use, usability, consistency and interactivity can make people fall in love with a training course and become its loyal users.
We use a full range of UX / UI services to build effective strategies for retaining attention and increasing engagement in the learning process.
Video-content production
When creating e-courses, we provide additional services, including video filming and production. We create video content, conduct video filming, sound recording and editing, script writing, casting artists, filming and other services. We'll also do post-production.
3D modelling and animation
We create 3D models of objects, including equipment, various industrial machines and even entire industrial complexes. Our experts can turn engineering sketches or drawings into three-dimensional models, allowing you to look at the object from all sides.
We have our own visualization department, including 3D artists, UX / UI designers, graphic designers and illustrators, scriptwriters and game developers.
In addition, we are able to provide various technical specialists for the project, exprienced in technical training.
When e-learning is most effective?

When you have a large group of entry-level employees
04
When the whole company or a large group of employees needs to learn the same information
05
When you need consistent and effective employee onboarding
Professional vioceover and localization
Any educational project, voiced by professional narrators and supported with special sound effects, will always increase the engagement of students into the learning process. That is why we delve deep into each project in order to understand what emotions and when the training program should evoke.
Sound design services:
  • Voice acting and musical instruments recording
  • Sound mixing and processing
  • Sound overlay
  • Music design
Learning gamification and content chunking
Unbundling or “atomization” is the breaking down of courses, texts and other educational materials into minimal blocks of knowledge (atoms), which allows you to collect personalized educational materials and programs that will correspond to the current interests and level of knowledge of students.
“Atomization” facilitates the transition to adaptive learning by allowing students to study topics interesting to them anywhere and anytime. For example, read a short article or watch a training video while on the road.
Gamification is the use of game principles and technologies widespread in computer games in order to increase the involvement of students into the learning process.
Quality control
All our products undergo internal system analysis and control testing before being delivered to the client.
Our quality control system includes checking all the main elements of the e-learning course for their compliance with the client's requirements and the absence of errors and inaccuracies.

Frequently asked questions

When converting a training program into electronic format, the following conversion indices should be taken into account:

Training subject Training duration in the classroom Training duration online
Business related subject 8 hours 1 hour (2 slides per minute)
Technical course 8 hours 2 hours (2 slides per minute)

To calculate the development cost for your e-learning course, you need to take into account its duration and level of interactivity. Normally, it will take 130 development hours for 1-hour long e-learning course (90-120 slides). The average cost of 1 hour of e-learning course development is from 50 to 70 US dollars.

Levels of interactivity

  • Level 1 - Basic: This is a simple e-learning program similar to an automated PowerPoint presentation, sometimes referred to as click-to-read. There may also be simple quizzes and similar forms of knowledge testing.
  • Level 2 - Intermediate: This is an e-learning program that combines click and read content with learner interactions such as drag and drop, tabbed interactions, timelines, etc. There are a limited number of branches at this level of the program. This level could be considered typical of most e-learning courses produced today.
  • Level 3 - Advanced: These programs include a significant amount of branching, gamification, animation and / or customization for a unique end product.

E-learning speeds up the learning experience for learners who learn at a faster pace, saving time and resources for maximum efficiency.

  • E-learning allows learners to test material they have already learned, which also saves time;
  • During e-learning, the learning process takes place in a controlled and safe environment;
  • During e-learning, knowledge is tested through tests and interactive assignments for a more objective assessment;
  • E-learning can reduce training costs if the training programme is standard and can be reused.

The e-learning course is composed from the following materials:

  • Text
  • Images
  • Documents
  • Video
  • Voiceover (150 words per minute)
  • Tests
  • Animations
  • Interactive exercises and assignments

Materials are developed and transmitted to the client in SCORM / AICC formats or a project of one of the programs for the development of electronic courses such as Rise, Lectora and others, depending on the client's preferences.

Normally, training statistics is transmitted to client's learning management system (LMS), including the launch of the course, time, success, test results, etc.

Gamification is the use of game principles and technologies widespread in computer games in order to increase the involvement of students into the learning process.

Unbundling or “atomization” is the breaking down of courses, texts and other educational materials into minimal blocks of knowledge (atoms), which allows you to collect personalized educational materials and programs that will correspond to the current interests and level of knowledge of students.

“Atomization” facilitates the transition to adaptive learning by allowing students to study topics interesting to them anywhere and anytime. For example, read a short article or watch a training video while on the road.

Adaptive learning is a teaching method in which computer algorithms are used to manage student interactions and provide appropriately matched resources and learning activities to meet their unique learning needs.

In this case, preliminary testing on all important topics and sub-topics of the training course will allow determining the current level of knowledge of the student and adjusting his training program, excluding topics already known to the student from the training. The student will have the opportunity to complete the modules of interest in any case, but topics that he / she already knows well will be counted as completed. Thus, more prepared students will be able to concentrate on less studied or more complex topics.

Competencies are a set of skills, knowledge and values ​​necessary for the successful completion of certain jobs. Matrices of technical competencies are created based on an analysis of existing job descriptions and technical regulations. Technical competence matrices are agreed with the customer's experts. Competency-based learning is based on technical competency matrices and aims to achieve the competencies represented in these matrices. Evaluation of the effectiveness of training is made by comparing the current and desired levels of student competence.

Our software automates the entire assessment procedure and presents its results in a convenient for decision-making format. The system can generate individual training and knowledge assessment reports.
