Genially: How to use it to train your employees?

Whether you are an HR manager or a business manager, you know how crucial it is to have effective training tools that really transform the skills of your employees. Your challenges are not small: to design training courses that engage, that leave a lasting impression and that are applicable in a real situation. But How to achieve these goals when time and resources are limited?

Genially turns out to be a major asset to meet this need; you still have to know how to use it wisely. This platform allows you to create training content that is interactive, engaging, and visually appealing. But there is more. For these courses to be not only pleasant to the eye, but also really impacting, it is necessary to be able to integrate them into a structured and effective learning approach.

Genially, or interactive visualization at the service of engagement

Business concepts can sometimes be abstract and difficult to grasp. Genially Allows you to materialize these ideas through interactive diagrams and visuals that make learning more concrete.

Let's imagine a sales manager wanting to train his team on the company's complex sales process. With Genially, he creates a interactive diagram where each step of the process can be explored in detail with a simple click. These interactions aren't limited to simple descriptions; they include videos, testimonies, and even mini-games.

Let's take another example: in the field of human resources, clarifying internal policies is crucial for staff well-being and productivity. Genially helps HR managers illustrate, for example, The process career development within the company. Interactive icons could lead to testimonial videos of employees who have benefited from these policies, giving life to career progression opportunities.

When it comes to product training, a CTO who wants to train their team on new protocols or on the use of specific equipment can take advantage of Genially to develop interactive guides. Circuit or machine diagrams would integrate interactive elements to illustrate how components work, failure simulations to test understanding or explanatory videos on concrete intervention cases.

From interactive visuals to the transformation of field skills

But is interactivity alone enough to increase skills? For these experiences to be truly impactful, it is necessary to include the use of Genially in a coherent educational approach and scientifically valid. It is here that a LMS like Didask can transform the use of Genially into a real vector of effective and sustainable learning.

The Didask LMS is based on latest advances in cognitive science to create personalized learning paths through adaptive learning. Didask thus relies on research discoveries in this field to optimize learning processes. Taking into account how the brain processes, retains, and recalls information, the platform designs learning experiences Adaptive learning that promote the in-depth understanding and long-term retention (see our article To fight against forgetting, put your memory to the test)

Thus, Didask courses are divided into small and clear learning units aligned with specific educational objectives. By incorporating concrete scenarios and contextualized scenarios, they actively involve learners in their training. The Feedback personalized allows learners to understand their mistakes and to consolidate what they have learned. Finally, revision techniques such as the system of flashcards by Didask take advantage of the spaced repetition effect (read our article The spacing effect or how to ensure sustainable learning) and active recall to facilitate the transfer of information from short-term memory to long-term memory. All of these powerful experiences can be generated in just a few minutes with a Educational AI that converts raw content into effective training.

At the same time, Didask makes it possible to integrate content created with Genially in one click. It therefore combines the richness of Genially with a pedagogical approach that takes into account the pace and needs of each learner. The integration of Genially into Didask is very simple, allowing capitalize on this interactive richness while respecting a proven pedagogical structure.

Genially and Didask, a winning collaboration

As you will have understood, interactive visualization is essential, but for learning to be sustainable, it must be repeated and put into practice. This is where Didask comes in by complementing visual achievements with, as seen just now, application exercises and flashcards to review and reinforce the knowledge acquired.

Take the example of a compliance manager introducing complex regulatory standards. After viewing an interactive explanatory diagram created on Genially, a Didask module could propose a series of flashcards. Each one presents a concrete situation where the employee must identify the relevant standard and decide what action to take. These flashcards, with immediate and personalized feedback, ensure that concepts are not only understood but also mastered.

Another recurring training challenge is training in the use of new software. With Genially, create interactive tutorials where employees click through animated screenshots to get familiar with the interface. Then, in Didask, create simulator scenarios where they need to complete specific tasks. They will then receive flashcards to review key shortcuts and essential functions, increasing retention and confidence in using the software.

The last example of use cases is security protocols. A Genially interactive diagram could show a workshop, where clicking on each machine or area would trigger animated safety instructions, instant quizzes and testimonies. Didask could then offer virtual emergency decision-making scenarios, offering immediate feedback to correct errors and strengthen protocols.

The impact of these experiences should not remain a hypothesis; it should be measurable in the field. Once the training courses are broadcast, thanks to Didask's analytics, business or HR managers can follow in detail how the modules and flashcards are assimilated by the teams. Data analysis then allows the Genially content to be adjusted to reinforce weak spots and to design even more targeted Didask exercises for in-depth learning.

To conclude

Using Genially to bring abstract concepts to life through engaging, interactive visuals is a great start. However, for your training to have a tangible impact on performance and the mastery of skills in the field, integration into a structured and evolving learning ecosystem like Didask is crucial. This is how you will maximize engagement and knowledge retention, ensuring a true impact of your training initiatives.

Genially's interoperability with learning platforms such as Didask offers a powerful synergy between interactive visualization and knowledge anchoring. The creation of educational scenarios via Genially, followed by the application and revision of concepts by Didask methodologies, is an unstoppable duo for effective, impactful and sustainable training.
