Whether Deep Dive, Report or Academy - the portfolio of OMR Education is extensive when it comes to further education in online marketing. In line with our new category Digital Learning Platform, we show you which tools our colleagues use to implement the OMR Academy .
Behind the OMR Academy is an E-learning platform on topics such as Instagram marketing, SEO or email marketing, on which the participants go through the multi-week courses. Nikolas Nold and Lena Sürken are both responsible for the OMR Academy. Niko for the content and Lena for the e-learning campus, on which the courses are depicted.
The campus is implemented with the tool Docebo which Lena works with almost daily. What exactly the tool can do and which other functions she and Niko don't want to miss, they explain to us in more detail in this tech stack.

All in one

“Everything in my job revolves around Docebo”, says Lena. “Whether it's about uploading the latest lessons for our participants, overcoming technical hurdles or developing new campus concepts.”
On the campus, all participants of an academy will find, in addition to the learning content, access to planned live sessions and the final test. In order for Lena to keep an overview of all the content of an academy, she uses Asana as a project management tool: “We use this to plan our courses, but also use the boards as a ticket system, in case there's e.g. a technical problem that we need to take care of.”

Little technical effort

When implementing an OMR Academy, Niko is responsible for didactic design of further training as well as for the preparation of the content: “All courses are created with Articulate 360 (Articulate Rise). The tool is easy to use and the results have a modern look and feel.” In addition, the created e-learning courses are responsive and can be scaled on all devices. Compared to other authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate, Articulate Rise requires less development effort.
Niko and the team are also convinced by the many functions that Articulate Rise offers: “Texts, images and videos can be integrated. For didactic design, numerous elements such as quizzes, hotspot graphics and flipcards are available, which I regularly use to make the learning experience interactive. My claim is that learning has to be fun. That is the only way to convey information sustainably.”
In addition, the tool runs smoothly in the browser, so it can be accessed from any computer: “This makes our work transparent and we have our entire collection of e-learnings bundled in one place.”

The learning videos in the e-learning campus are recorded by the experts with the tool Loom, which are then finalized in post-production for the courses. “With Camtasia, we cut our screencasts and set highlights in the videos”, says Niko.

Automation for the support

To make the work on the OMR Academy even more automated in the future, Lena has been using the tool make (zuvor Integromat): “This is truly the absolute game changer for me. I'm currently crafting scenarios with it that can save our support team a lot of work.” Before Docebo, the team had already worked with another learning management system. “Since then I know that Docebo has quite a lot to offer”, Lena reports. “Especially essential for us is the function with which learning content can be automatically activated. I remember late Thursday nights when I had to upload the lessons that were supposed to go live on Friday morning to our old LMS.”

Never stop learning

To understand how the participants learn with the offered courses, Docebo offers some reportings. “This includes the time spent in learning content or which questions in the final test were harder and perhaps should be rephrased”, explains Lena. Also Google Analytics is an important tool for precise analysis: “Through this, we learn even more details about learning behavior, e.g. which device the learning campus is being accessed from or at what time of day the participants most often learn.”

Digital Learning Platforms
Digital Learning Platforms (DLP), also known as digital learning platforms, offer students and course participants the opportunity to engage digitally with learning content. Therefore, educators use digital learning platforms in their teaching to make learning more interesting and interactive and to offer personalized lessons for learners. Depending on the type of software, the teacher can either use the Digital Learning Platforms in the classroom for the delivery of learning content or ask students to use the software at home for practicing course content. More and more digital learning platforms are adaptive and automatically adjust the lesson dynamically to the performance of individual learners. In addition to digital learning platforms, which are designed to impart knowledge in certain subjects such as natural sciences or political sciences, there are also tools that are intended to promote interdisciplinary skills such as reading or writing. Digital learning platforms can be used by teachers at all levels of school education and by lecturers and professors at universities. They can also be used for further education or courses from private educational institutions. For digital learning, a number of other tools are used in addition to digital learning platforms that enable time- and/or location-independent transmission of skills and learning content. Thus, Digital Learning Platforms can usually be integrated into Learning Management Systems (LMS) or Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS), so that teachers can easily and online provide their students with digital teaching content. Some digital learning platforms also offer similar functions to learning tools designed for exam preparation, as well as classroom management software which should ensure a safe and productive digital classroom including administration. Some digital learning platforms also contain grading functions. Online seminar software can also be used to convey knowledge. Often, all software for digital learning is summarized under the term e-learning software. Since learning is always target group dependent and learners need different learning formats, these should be considered when selecting a learning software. In order to qualify as Digital Learning Platforms (DLP), the solution must: * be suitable for use in primary and secondary education sectors as well as higher education * provide interactive learning units * contain multimedia or playful elements to increase the willingness of students to use it * personalize the learning experience for each student * create reports using data on students' performance
Corporate Learning Management Systems
Corporate Learning Management Systems (LMS) are powerful digital platforms designed specifically for the educational needs of businesses. These systems enable organizations to effectively manage, deliver, and track training and development programs. They are ideal for businesses of all sizes looking to educate their employees, develop competencies, and promote lifelong learning. Corporate LMSs are often used in various industries, from technology to the healthcare sector, and support both online and on-site training. To be included in the category of Corporate Learning Management Systems, a solution should have the following features and characteristics: - Course Management: Allows the creation, management, and delivery of online training materials. - Tracking and Reporting: Monitoring of learning progress and performance evaluation of participants. - User-friendly Interface: Easy navigation and access for learners and instructors. - Integration with other tools: Connection to HR systems and productivity tools. - Mobile Learning: Support for learners who want to access content on the go.
