Captovate has been developing eLearning packages for Governments and businesses for over 10 years. The Captovate eLearn team includes instructional designers, who work with content specialists to ensure the content is best delivered via an online platform. This includes breaking up content into short bites of text, conceptualising how to represent concepts graphically, ensuring the correct transitions between concepts, and providing direction to the designers and developers to ensure a quality overall experience.
The unique skill set of Captovate is we also have a team of designers who have extensive experience in designing learning experiences. This means they analyse how the end user will engage with the content and ensure the product looks good but is also highly functional and ensures the best learning outcomes. Our designers are also trained in the WCAG accessibility rules, which Government agencies are required to follow.
We recognise that they key to success is to ensure learning modules are ‘designed to be interactive and engaging’. As innovation gurus, Captovate has a number of innovative suggestions for increasing efficiency and effectiveness. While not delivered via the LMS, they do serve to create a ‘life long learning model’ - which sees learning go beyond the classroom and fit into various dimensions of a person's whole life.
We are skilled at ensuring eLearning modules are designed to be interactive and engaging. The tools we use have the functionality to allow inclusion of creative media, voice-over, online videos, and hover text. This approach includes a variety of learning pedagogies to maintain interest and accommodate individual learning styles. Below are a few of the ways in which we approach the creative.
Explainer videos are a quick and effective way of creating content that provides explanations of concepts in an engaging and animated effect. With graphic designers on staff we develop the visual storyboard and use tools like VideoScribe to build the animation. Below is an example project Captovate is currently developing for the Department of Education to clarify their new approach to a School Improvement model.
