The top 5 educational tools for successful corporate training

Going beyond the LMS to maximize the impact of your online training

Educational tools have become indispensable allies for companies that want to optimize their online training. While LMS (Learning Management Systems) make it possible to structure and distribute content, they are often not enough to captivate learners or to guarantee concrete educational results.

In a context where 93% of training managers consider employee engagement to be a major challenge for the success of programs (source: LinkedIn Learning Report 2023), it is crucial to integrate complementary solutions. These educational tools make it possible not only to make training courses more interactive and attractive, but also to better meet the individual expectations of learners.

So here are five simple and effective educational tools to boost the impact of your corporate training.

Loom: Facilitate demonstrations and video tutorials for clear and accessible training

When it comes to training your employees in software or a specific task, nothing beats a demonstration in action. But organizing a live session for each new hire or collaborator can quickly become time-consuming. That's where Loom comes in.

Loom makes it easy to capture screen videos with your audio and video commentary, creating clear and engaging tutorials. Take CRM training as an example: instead of writing a 20-page manual that no one will read (let's be honest), record a short video where you show, step-by-step, how to manage a sales pipeline. This visual and dynamic format is particularly effective: learners can review videos at their own pace, strengthening their understanding.

Canva: Enhance your training courses with striking and engaging visuals

Canva allows you to transform your sometimes austere content into visually attractive supports: explanatory diagrams, infographics, presentations. These formats facilitate the assimilation of complex concepts and reinforce learners' attention.

Do you want to train your teams in a new risk management process? Instead of presenting them with a monotonous list of takeaways, create an infographic with Canva that illustrates each step in the form of a colorful pyramid. Result: clear, visual and memorable content, ready to be integrated into your e-learning modules

Genially: Boost your training with interactive activities and animated content

In a world where learners' attention is a rare resource, Genially stands out for its ability to transform static content into real interactive experiences. This tool allows you to create animated content, quizzes, educational games. The objective: to make your learners move from a passive role to active participation, which improves their engagement and knowledge retention.

For example, you can create virtual cybersecurity escape games where each employee must detect fake phishing emails to “save sensitive data” of the company. There you go: employees better remember best practices thanks to the fun and immersive aspect of the experience.

Typeform: Take the pulse of your training courses thanks to engaging questionnaires

In the context of corporate training, Typeform stands out as an ideal educational tool for measuring learner satisfaction or evaluating their knowledge. Thanks to its numerous customization options, it adapts perfectly to your needs: quizzes, feedback surveys or even prior learning assessment forms.

The feedback collected via Typeform is not just a list of answers: it is strategic data to improve your educational paths. You identify what works well, detect points of friction, and adjust your content to precisely meet learners' expectations.

Powtoon: Animated video for learning

You're not Spielberg, and that's okay: with its ready-to-use templates, varied graphics, and ease of use, Powtoon is available to anyone, even those new to editing. Ideal for captivating your employees and getting complex messages across in a fun and impactful way.

For example, you can create an animated introduction video that outlines the goals and procedures of stress management training. This engaging format helps to captivate the audience from the start and to lay the foundation for effective learning.

Tools to engage and transform your learners

Integrating materials designed with these tools will allow you to boost the engagement and educational impact of your training courses. But be careful: each animation or interaction must serve a specific purpose. Too many visual effects or unnecessary activities can distract from learning if they are not integrated into a coherent approach. Didask obviously integrates into all these tools and will be the one-stop-shop for your training courses.
