Online training: MOOCs

We produce and develop content for creative and effective online training.

MOOCs we love

We work for companies, public bodies and other organizations that use distance learning.

We focus on interactive content and a structure with several pieces in different, short formats to engage and keep the trainees' attention.

We study your audience and design the best experience

We clearly define the audience, the objectives and the desired experience. Even in compulsory courses, we transform the approach into something engaging and interesting.

In online teaching, course design is crucial, and this is where our experience in Content Design and Instructional Design comes in.

Multimedia transformation to keep the trainees awake

It's not enough to get someone to read a script or a power point. That's why we turn technical content into various multimedia pieces.

We develop short, objective videos with various graphic and interactive possibilities. And this is the key to communicating complex concepts.

Designs with various formats and types of interaction

Course design involves creating linear or interactive videos, quizzes, assessment activities, and additional resource areas through documents or links to other areas.

We establish progression rules based on the trainee's performance. This mix of elements enriches the course experience.

Production of humanized and dynamic content

Our experience in video production and directing allows us to reconcile more journalistic, documentary or fictional approaches. We adapt the style of each video to the audience and the objectives of the course. 

The human presence in the videos makes it easier to convey the message and brings communication closer to the learner.

Support in all forms of information illustration help to give rhythm and dynamics to the videos and make the experience richer and more interesting for the user.

Platforms for MOOCs

Any type of training requires a course management platform. ActiveMedia has been developing many of its MOOCs for the NAU platform.

We offer various WordPress solutions to create different moments, such as registration, activities and evaluation. We also use gamification mechanisms as a small incentive to keep trainees interested!

On these platforms it is possible to develop a hybrid course, where we can have an asynchronous online regime, as well as other mentoring moments, either face-to-face or via videoconference.

Evaluate and Optimize

We analyze results after the launch and optimize the experience for future editions. The ease of updating, in digital format, guarantees courses that are always relevant.
