Challenges
Electricians do compulsory training every year. They were using solutions that were either text-based or hour-long video classes.
The main issue was having to deal with too much information, dense theoretical material, old videos that explored repetitive situations the electricians were already familiar with, and a general lack of new challenging angles that could raise interest and awaken motivation.
The biggest pain about these training and evaluation methodologies is the type of audience they are addressed to. The electricians are practical and visual learners that engage much better in training that is tailored to their skills and abilities. The compulsory training that they were faced with up to now involved little practice and was perceived as a dull and unengaging task.
Solution
When designing a course for a specific audience, it is of high importance to adjust it to their particular needs, constantly updating it and adding motivation and engaging elements. With the Apprendly Creator tool, the new instructor is the video itself and the employees can now be subject to different challenging experiences and learn by doing in a safe environment.

Apprendly, Videocation and Nelfo managed to transform dull training dedicated to the electricians into a practical exercise, meant to reduce the repetitiveness that they had been exposed to through the traditional training. Moreover, they could test their own skills by using an avatar in an immersive space and obtain immediate feedback on their answers. This led to high engagement and not only learning by doing, but also enjoying while doing.
