Download Storyboard Tool Here! A storyboard is one of those tools that determines whether a course feels coherent or feels like a pile of slides someone strung together, and badly. Most of the courses we’ve seen go off the rails, lost their way in the planning stages (or the lack of planning stages), before the build even started.  If you have

Sometimes an eLearning module is enough on its own. And sometimes it isn’t.   If the skill involves real equipment, on-the-job judgement, or working alongside a supervisor, blended learning may be a better option. Blended learning combines the convenience of online modules with classroom or practical training for a better result.   A few situations where a blended approach

The ROI case for eLearning site inductions in mining  Every time a new employee or contractor sets foot on a mining site, they need to be inducted. That is not negotiable. What is negotiable is how the induction gets delivered, how long it takes, and what it costs when you add everything up. Not every course is best

Budget season is here, and if you are getting quotes from eLearning providers, you might find that they vary considerably for what looks like the same job. That variation is usually about what did or didn’t get asked up front. Five questions I’d put to any eLearning provider before I trusted their quote are: What’s

Compliance is essential in the resource industry — but it’s only the starting point. When training is designed just to “tick the box,” it often becomes overloaded, unclear, and quickly forgotten.  Compliance asks:  Have we covered the required topics?  Have workers completed the induction?  Is it documented?  Effective training asks:  Do they understand the risks?  Can they recognise

Digital delivery. Animation. Accessibility. Measurable impact. Workforce training in the resource industry is changing — and it needs to. The old model of long PowerPoint inductions, overloaded compliance slides, and “tick-the-box” completion certificates simply isn’t enough anymore. Not when safety standards are rising. Not when workforce mobility is increasing. And not when leadership teams are

Your company induction is one of the first interactions that new employees will have with your company. Is yours projecting an image of a professional, progressive, inclusive organisation that aligns with your company values?  Or, is it a bit of a hodge-podge mess with outdated information, poor visuals and long boring slides of text that sentence

The success of an eLearning program depends not only on the quality of content but also on the design and delivery of the courses. These are the three most important: 1. Keep It Short and Sweet: Maximum 15 Minutes per Course One of the fundamental principles of eLearning design is to keep the courses concise

If you are using animation or videos on social media, there are 3 things you should know. 1. Dimensions – It helps your animation or video display correctly if you have the right dimensions, Check with the channel you are using but Facebook recommends 1200 x 720 p (pixels) while instagram recommends 1920 x 1080p,

Are you thinking of having an animation developed for your website or socials but don’t quite know how it works. It’s actually pretty simple. Here are the steps. Firstly, we sit down with you (usually virtually) and have a chat. You tell us what you are thinking and provide us with anything you might already

Video and animation are great tools to use in training courses, when they are used correctly. But which one should you use? Video can be more personal, especially if you are using a main character that the audience can relate too. There are also some great effects, including drone shots that can really make the

Animation is the art of drawing sketches and then putting in a series of illustrations to make them like moving things. Here are 5 interesting facts about animation. In animation, figures are manipulated to appear as moving images and then converted into film. Most animations are made with computer-generated imagery (CGI). There are several types

We often receive courses from clients to be updated that have been created by people with limited experience of elearning programs. And that’s totally fine. But, if you have limited skills, keep it basic. One of the worst examples we see is when someone with a basic skill level gets hold of a course which

One of the hardest things about elearning is keeping the learner engaged. Some try to solve this problem by giving the learner lots of buttons to click. The problem with this is that clicking is a mindless activity. Often, it becomes a race to see how fast you can click though to get to the

We see so much “training” material come past us that is, to be brutally honest, completely useless. It might tick a compliance box, but the learner gets nothing out of it. The main culprits here are courses that are way too long, courses that contain too much information on different topics, big unnecessary words (especially

Why would you spend more money on an elearning developer when you can put the slides together yourself?  When you use a good professional elearning developer, you are getting much more than someone who can just put your slides together. Professional elearning developers are passionate about learning and have years of experience, not just in
