ABB Powertrain Designing a tailored eLearning web platform in collaboration with GLG Communications
Designing a tailored eLearning web platform
ABB, a company specializing in electrification, robotics and automation solutions, was having difficulty training and educating distributors and representatives on the technical specifications of their different products. The team wanted to have a simple, entertaining online training platform at their disposal to encourage partners to independently keep up with ongoing training.
To answer the call, Exolnet built an eLearning platform that lets users learn about ABB products in greater detail, with a more comprehensive picture available for potential clients. The platform guides users through various educational modules made up of video capsules and chapter quizzes so people can test their new knowledge. With every completed module, an official certificate is created to demonstrate the participant’s progress. The platform also features a points system that allows high-scoring participants to compete for prizes.
How does it work?
Select a module and watch the informative videos
Each product offered by ABB is represented by a module divided into learning chapters. Within each chapter, users can watch relevant educational videos, download helpful brochures or click on links to other module sections. Once a chapter has been completed, a quiz lets users test their newly acquired understanding. This step must be completed before a user can move on to the next chapter.
Take the final quiz
The goal of each module is to move through the material until reaching and taking the final quiz. Any user scoring 60% or over on the final quiz receives a certificate of completion that recognizes their new knowledge and competencies. The certificate, which includes the name of the completed module and final grade, is delivered in PDF format so users can share it with their respective supervisors.
Showcase each success and accumulate points
To help incentivize ABB representatives to work through the educational modules, we proposed a point system that allows them to earn points and compete against other representatives to win prizes. Throughout the year, prizes are drawn to reward the participants with the best quiz results.
