Challenge
Creating interactive eLearning from dense, text-based content
The clients’ existing content was heavily text-based and difficult for learners to read, being primarily in Word and PowerPoint formats. The challenge was to transform this text-heavy material into an engaging and digestible format that learners would find enjoyable and beneficial.
Additionally, the content needed to include interactive elements such as multimedia content, quizzes, and simulations. These interactive features aimed to heighten learner engagement and motivation. Ultimately, the goal was to enhance the retention of information and ensure it was effectively applied in real-world scenarios.

Solution
Engaging multimedia and interactive elements enhance learning
ThinkingKap addressed this challenge by transforming theoretical concepts into real-world examples, case studies, and practical exercises.
This approach made the learning material more relevant and applicable to everyday life or work situations. The content was then restructured with a focus on visual appeal, incorporating multimedia elements to engage visual learners. Interactive quizzes and simulations were integrated strategically to reinforce learning and provide immediate feedback.
This comprehensive design ensured that learners could see the practical value of the material, thus enhancing their overall engagement and investment in the course.
Approach
Make materials relatable with real-world examples and practical exercises
During the client’s presentation she would engage the learners with scenarios. Groups would act out real-life situations and determine what leadership style is being used. We incorporated this technique in the WBT by designing a series of scenarios the learner listens to and then determines what leadership style is being use.
During class sessions the instructor would ask brain teaser questions to get the learners to start thinking about IT Security. We modeled this in the WBT by asking a series of non-graded questions, scattered throughout the course, to get the learner thinking and engaged about IT Security. This question is an example of one of the teaser questions asked.
