Add a dash of gammification to spice up your corporate e-learning modules

Everyone likes to compete and everyone likes to win!

How-much-ever we deny it, the fact is that we are all hardwired to compare and compete. May it be the simple drive on the road or the annual performance incentives ; the logic is same.

A very common problem most e-learning administrators face is that inspite of developing very beautiful and compelling e-learning modules, most people in the corporate space are not very motivated to learn unless a “force” is applied on them.

If you are facing a situation like this, just try adding an element of competition or gammify the module-and place the results on a leader board!...you will be pleasantly amazed at not just the level of engagement but also at the number of times people will take a go at it!

We have had some wonderful experiences on these lines…do drop a mail to aswani@xlprotraining.com and I shall be glad to discuss ways in which you can spice up your e-learning modules with a dash of gammification!

HTML-5 a boon for Corporate E-Learning… with a little rider

As an e-learning company specializing in e-learning content development for corporates, we have seen a surge in the request for HTML5 output of e-learning modules over the last few months.

This is majorly due to the fact that, although it may seem like a tech jargon, HTML5 simply enables you to view and play your e-learning modules on any devise-anytime!

A little rider however is that a seemingly very interesting file may not seem so appealing on a mobile as the look and feel of the same file is very different on a smaller screen (same as seeing a website on a mobile or watching a movie on it)!

Hence, to ensure that the learner is engaged thoroughly in both cases-while using a mobile or a computer, the Instructional designers and UI designers need to work in tandem to create modules which are fun to work on either at your desk-or on the move.

One critical element you need to be very focused on when developing e-learning modules to be accessed on both the Computers and mobile devises, is - interactivity. While using a smart phone people are more prone to tab and swipe, while on the other hand it is click-click on the comp.

So, optimize your screens to suit both the comp and the mobile and bingo!...your e-learning module stands a much better chance of getting the desired results!

We have had some wonderful experiences on designing bespoke corporate e-learning courses to be accessed on computers and mobile devises.
