Content

Even if AcademyMaker enables our customers to quickly create cost-efficient online trainings (without the services of professionals), many of our customers draw on our full service offer, especially when no internal personnel is available.

Our content unit develops target-group specific e-learning concepts, didactical approaches, design principles and style guides, illustrates content, develops and produces animations, videos and interactive elements and exercises.

Naturally, we are able to render these services with the help of AcademyMaker very fast and cost-efficient. Benefit from the experience and industry knowledge of our e-learning authors which are selected according to your topics.

Please contact us if you are interested in our references. We will gladly present you selected projects.

Blended Learning

We support you not only during the implementation process of pure e-learning projects, but also to develop blended learning concepts for you, tailored to your needs.

For presence trainings we work together with a network of experienced companies and free trainers.

The efficiency of blended learning arises from the combination of the benefits of both training methods. To teach for example soft skills like customer orientation, communicative skills etc, presence trainings are more effective than pure e-learning. But it is the ongoing training by e-learning or other tools which will stress the new learning content over a certain time and change them into new behavior or lasting memorization. Pure presence trainings are not able to do this alone in a cost-effective way.

Development of individual solutions

The standard functional range of AcademyMaker is sufficient for a lot of companies and applications. But still, there might be customers and projects which require individual modifications and enhancements.

As an experiences solutions provider we are prepared to modify AcademyMaker according to your needs and expectations. The modular system structure and open architecture (J2EE) facilitate the development for new or modified functionalities regardless whether we create a specific selection of templates, additional reports or completely new functionalities.

The customer service of our project managers and consultants is just as individual and professional as you would expect in a 'normal' software project.

Particularly the easy integration into existing or newly developed solutions is a benefit of our approach - we can for example implement AcademyMaker into a Web portal (further information here).

Bonus systems / motivation concepts

For some target groups (e.g. trade partners or customers) you might want to motivate the participants of your online trainings with special incentives.

We support you with the development of target group-compatible concepts and help you to select advertising / sponsoring partners. Of course all conceptual considerations we pay attention to your overall marketing strategy, corporate culture and brands.

Translations

If you want to provide a training project in more than one language, we will be glad to provide professional translations with our partners. In many cases the translation can be conducted directly in the system which helps avoiding expensive double-processing of content.
