Create Online Interactive Training that Works for Your Organization

One of the biggest challenges associated with e-learning is making sure that learners are getting something out of it, and adding interactive elements can help with that. Studies suggest that interactivity can improve learner retention by anywhere from 50-90 percent depending on the specific study you're looking at. Of course, this means that you have to figure out how to create online interactive training that works for your organization.

We are Echo360, a company of education specialists who thrive when it comes to transforming passive learning into active learning engagement. Our suite of Point Solutions products is designed to help you create interactive training modules that are easy for instructors and learners to use, making it easy to add real-time audience response to any presentation, lecture, or seminar. Better yet, you can create interactive training that seamlessly fits in with the rest of our product lineup for more effective e-learning. Here is a closer look at how easy it can be to create online interactive training materials!

Can I Create Interactive Training Modules that Won't Disrupt My Presentation?

Most presentations already try to incorporate some measure of interactivity whether that's asking if there are any questions or conducting informal polls through a show of hands. These techniques are fine, but shy audience members may not participate while the instructor has to burn valuable presentation time tabulating the results. Point Solutions automates this process, allowing audience members to answer questions on their mobile devices while showing instructors the results in real-time. Shy learners may be more willing to answer poll questions anonymously, and anyone who doesn't have a mobile device can participate via a web browser or dedicated clickers to ensure that everyone's opinion is heard. Best of all, everything takes place behind the scenes so that the flow of your presentation is unaffected.

How Can You Help Me Create Online Interactive Training?

The biggest draw of our suite of Point Solutions products is Anywhere Polling, or the ability to add polls and other audience prompts to any form of media and collect data in real-time. For instance, you could add a quiz to assess how much information your audience absorbed from a PowerPoint presentation on safety training or a self-paced video on compliance and adapt your follow-up accordingly. Alternatively, you can solicit feedback on how you presented the material so that you can do so more effectively next time. Point Solutions is a suite that gives you everything you need to connect with your audience, so there's no limit on what you could do to engage your audience.

One of our favorite outside-the-box ideas is gamification. Instructors can split the audience into two or more teams and play a trivia-show game to assess learner progress while encouraging camaraderie throughout the organization. Point Solutions can also handle administrative tasks such as taking attendance and awarding participation credit, giving instructors more time to do what they do best.

Do You Offer Other Tools to Help Me Create Online Interactive Training?

Sure! ExamView is a test creation tool with a question bank of over 15,000 questions, giving you items to plug directly into your polls or serve as inspiration for original questions. Echo360 is a video content management platform that uses ASR technology to automatically caption all video content, making it easy for learners to go back and review any factual information they missed on a poll. It's also easy to add videos to the Echo360 ecosystem, allowing you to add functionality to videos on YouTube and other sources you already trust. Finally, Dojo360 is our learning engagement platform built on the e³ philosophy of equity, evidence, and engagement to bring hybrid learning to the next level.
