How to boost your LMS with Genially?

Introduction

Whether you are in the management of RH, educational engineer, training manager or team manager, you understand the importance of having effective training tools that really transform the skills of your employees. You are facing major challenges: how to design training courses that are engaging, sustainable and applicable in real situations, in contexts where, very often, the time and available resources are limited?

Genially is a powerful solution to meet this challenge, provided it is used wisely. This platform allows you to create training content that is interactive, engaging, and visually appealing. Be careful, however, because the aesthetics of the formats are not enough. To have a real impact, these courses must be part of a structured and effective learning process.

Why integrate Genially into your LMS?

Two reasons:

• Increased engagement: Genially allows learners to become actors in their learning by offering interactive and immersive content.
• Diversity of formats: Offer a variety of educational materials (videos, podcasts, interactive images) to maintain interest and engagement throughout the learning journey.

A third reason would be the accessibility of Genially: in theory, anyone who spends a few hours on the tool can make it their own and create their own diagrams. In fact, the tool remains mainly used by training managers and educational engineers. Genially, in this sense, is an actor who has contributed, within organizations, to the transition between a situation where training managers or specialized providers design training courses and a situation where any internal expert can easily share their knowledge. It is in this line that Didask fits in and has gone much further, by also allowing any person, whether she has the skills and experience in educational engineering or not, to create a training that is truly engaging and effective (in terms of information retention by the learner and learning and then applying the skills he/she is supposed to acquire). This is what we explained to you in our article on the great history of e-learning platforms.

Example of a concrete application - Software training: a guided and interactive path for rapid mastery

As part of software training, Didask offers a fluid and interactive approach by integrating several tools. Our customers often use screen recording videos, created with solutions like Loom, to show basic features and usage steps. Then, Didask offers scripted exercises, adapted to specific learning objectives and automatically recommended by our educational AI. This allows learners to put the acquired knowledge into practice in a gradual and targeted manner.

In addition, interactive image analyses or integrations with external tools like Genially enrich the experience, making each step more engaging and intuitive. This approach is particularly valuable for training internal teams to master business tools, or for offering practical user guides externally. With Didask's educational AI, creating this type of fun and immersive journey takes up to 5 times less time, with a real impact on the ground: 90% of learners who have taken training on Didask report a concrete improvement in their work.

Are the gamification and interactivity advanced by Genially really the solution to promote the engagement of your learners?

Genially was created in 2015, in the middle of the period between second-generation LMSs, such as 360Learning or Rise Up, and 3rd generation actors such as Didask. In 2010, second-generation actors wanted to solve the problem of student engagement by relying on two levers:

• gamification, in the sense of creating fun games and competitions to stimulate learners' motivation
• interactivity and collaborative learning, in order to allow them to get out of a passive posture where they just click on “next, next, next”. And to send each other comments and notifications between learners and formators.trices/animators.rices

More than ten years later, we notice that these second-generation actors Retro-pedal on this double-bet. Why? Because sustainable commitment of learners, past the excitement of the announcement effect and the launch of new courses, can only be achieved if the Formations are perceived as genuinely useful by your learners. If I spend two hours in front of a course where I am offered several games, interactive formats of all kinds, but I don't learn anything, I won't come back.

Making “gamified”, personalized courses that take into account the starting level of your learners, their desires, and that adapt to the context of your organization, takes time, and resources, with training entry prices (on average €45,000) that are simply not accessible, and for which the ROI is often negative.

As far as interactivity is concerned, it must be part of a real pedagogical sequence, where the learner is, for example

• first exposed to a More top-down content (video, text, image, audio) to discover new information to remember
• Then try To apply this new information as part of practical scenarios, ideally similar to those he/she will face in real life, which you can very easily create thanks to educational AI technologies by Didask
• then try to reproduce itself as part of an animation genially, integrated very simply by iframe into a Didask course, or via The interactive Didask image, a native format, and that starts from any image, illustration, screenshot that you upload to the tool, and that is based on any image, illustration, or screenshot that you upload to the tool, with no technical knowledge required.
• and, finally, After a period of time to be set according to the context of the training and that you can administer freely, try to Remember key information, for example via a Flashcard session, in order to increase the probability of this information being stored in his long-term memory
