Actuate Microlearning: The One-Stop-Shop for Comprehensive E-Learning, Microlearning, LMS and Onboarding Solutions

CIO Vendor The increasing awareness of modern learning methodologies is fuelling the rapid growth of the e-learning industry in India, with many e-learning solution providers entering the market looking to transform the learning Space.

E-learning is,today, the preferred choice for corporate and educational institutions planning to augment, and in some cases, substitute classroom training with online learning,especially considering that time starved employees are eschewing traditional long format learning like day long classroom sessions.

The higher flexibility, convenience and cost effectiveness, when compared to conventional learning methods, make e-learning a winning choice for both institutions and learners.

However, most e-learning solutions available adopt a cookie cutter, one size fits all approach that generally isn't very relevant to an organisation's unique environment. Worse still, the vast majority of available e-learning are long format which, considering the time pressures most of us face, isn’t feasible for millennials and older generations alike. Also, with the meteoric rise of YouTube, the conventional clickbased, bullet point, and animated e-learning content is all but redundant. Video format content is now the need of the hour.

The authenticity of the content information provided is another primary concern with most e-learning courses. Furthermore, gamification is another core need to ensure course off take and engagement with the modern day learner.

With a very discerning eye on this evolving market scenario, Actuate
Microlearning, a Mumbai based company, has stepped forward with its comprehensive digital learning solutions, featuring bite sized, mobile enabled, video format courses, complete with built in assessment and gamification elements. Actuate’s content devoid of foreign accents,characters, and situations is contextualised for the Indian learner, thus ensuring that the focus never strays from skill building.

“We don’t offer long format courses. Rather, our courses are broken into a series of bite sized, video format microlessons, each of which though complete as a standalone learning unit, when put together logically form a complete course. In addition to our proprietary video format microlearning catalogue and custom content development services, we also offer a learning management system and an automated onboarding management system, under the brand name Calyx LearnTech,”Jerson James, Founder& CEO points out.

“Actuate also helps its clients with driving learning content consumption through user engagement - all of this leading to demonstrable ROI”.

Actuate, a company that started out as a classroom training firm insists on field testing its content with practitioners and subject matter experts to ensure the authenticity of all information provided. “To deliver a competent course, we first try the content with practitioners, in classrooms, and then after multiple iterations based on feedback and due diligence, we finally digitise this distilled learning material into an e-learning course. This ensures content soundness and relevance,” asserts Jerson James.

Actuate, which serves mid and large corporate and educational organisations, enjoys the patronage of clients across industry verticals, with a focus on the BFSI, Manufacturing, and Retail sectors. The company is planning to expand its services all over India with a focus on regional language content before exploring the foreign market.
