We’re happy to share more great news with you! It’s great to start a year with a new member under our brand company’s brand, EDeL microlearning platform.

Why did we build a microlearning platform?

Online education is becoming an empowering tool for a growing number of corporations and companies. Being familiar with the eLearning market requirements, we come up with a solution to many of the challenges the elearning industry faces.

With many successful web projects and educational platforms behind us, we decided to put effort and energy into building one of a kind microlearning platform.

Why is microlearning an innovative model of learning online?

In 2018, microlearning started to dominate the e-learning industry.

Business was looking for an effective e-learning online solution that will help users grasp new knowledge easily and quickly — anytime, anywhere and from any device. A new, strong trend was born.

#1 Economic approach to top quality education

Microlearning platforms and apps can be easily, rapidly and efficiently deployed in any organization, regardless of the size or industry. Business receive a cost-effective tool while learners are offered learning contents, distant education, online certificates and degree courses.

#2 Microlearning brings learning to people

One of the great advantage of elearning tools is that they can be implemented on any device. Learners can use videos, small games, quizzes, and infographics to study and test what they have learned quickly and effectively.

One more advantage is related to the method of learning. Microlearning modules are small and interactive and learning is implemented in tiny chunks.

#3 Microlearning platforms and apps enhances productivity and ROI

When applied in corporate training, microlearning platforms enhance productivity of employees and as a result increase ROI for organisations and businesses.

Using microlearning methods, strategies and interactive approach, employees are less fussy about going through a boring hour-long module.

#4 Cost-effective alternative to real classroom

Mircolearning platform is a dream educational institution. The learning process is flexible as one can obtain academic assistance and knowledge and take exams online. Specific needs of learners can be addressed and courses and lessons can be written and created to focus on general or individual programs.

What is EDeL microlearning platform?

EDeL is a microlearning online platform that helps you to gain new, valuable knowledge through set of actionable objectives. It walks you through an interactive map of knowledge providing media-rich experience, with quick quizzes at the end of every phase.

There are achievement badges for good results and email messages with reminders that provide motivation at each step of the course. At the end, you are awarded with a PDF certificate that contains all scores and achievements acquired during the course.

How do you learn with EDeL?

EDeL platform is designed and developed to provide activities and interactions to capture learners’ attention, making their learning process interactive and pleasant.

EDeL platform offers a simple and easy management of users and content

The Administrators register all users and provide them with login details.

The platform can be easily customised and expanded with tailor-made solutions, ranging from multilingual capabilities to weekly reports, single sign on and other required features.

The platform provides an intuitive and effective content management

Platform’s back-office supports the full management of course topics, pages, quizzes with their questions and answers, and other pieces of content. Administrators can decide whether a subject (a lesson) is better explained through text, videos and images, or their combination.

With EDeL platform, admins have a complete overview of users’ progress

The platform provides data about an average score and success rate of users on specific phases of the course.

The dashboard is a tracking interface. The course interface is organized in a clear and simple way to enable a learner to focus on tracking the progress.

Interactive learning experience focused on the learner’s needs

Topics can contain different number of lessons presented in pages, and each page can contain different media-rich content to address a particular subject.

You can upload supporting learning materials to each page/lesson such as text documents, sheets, slide presentations, images and zipped files.

Private learning experience

If you have sensitive and private data as part of the learning material explored in the course, you can choose a page or pages that should be private for specific groups of users and which should remain visible to all users.

Knowledge Testing: Quizzes

Quizzes are quick tests for learners to assess whether they are ready to move forward or should go back to a particular learning section.

After each learning phase, users take a quiz to test their knowledge. The results are shown as percentages for the correct answers and medals are awarded based on the achieved results. Learners receive badges for their results that are awards of their accomplishments. Being symbols of the learner’s accomplishments, badges also hold motivational empowerment.

Certificate as a proof of a successfully finished course

Certificates are documents given to learners at the end of the successfully finished course. They are in PDF format and contain all scores and achievements acquired during the course. Users can easily access and download certificates from their profile.

Technology behind EDeL platform

We developed the platform on Symfony PHP and AngularJS frameworks, which are the state of the art technologies providing ultimate flexibility, speed and reliability.

The platform is structured as API-Centric application, with the APIs that enable easy integration with third party systems or expansions in future updates.

We developed features and functionalists to support rich media and to be easily customizable.

Maps for example can have various shapes with colour coded phases and fully branded user interface. Each map can feature unique iconography related to the knowledge acquired on the course.

Our approach to design and development is always on providing intuitive user journeys and good UX.

Together, good UX and user journeys make different types of content easily accessible, uncluttered, and organized to match the user’s intention.
