Successful WBT projects

The reason for the refusal to accept WBT was often the alleged lack of didactic quality. In fact, during the early stages of the new technology, repeated didactic concepts were imposed which forced learners to pointlessly click from page to page. This is not a way to spark enthusiasm. There were also technical problems such as long loading times and boring layouts. Overall, these weak areas did not help to increase motivation to learn. A significant increase in professionalism and improvement in quality of the product and the management of WBT projects have countered these problems. IMC has gained a large amount of expertise in numerous WBT projects, some of which have been of an international scope, for noteworthy clients such as Takeda Pharma, Kyocera and MediaSaturn.

This includes the development and coordination of the design for WBT-specific functions. The trick is not to allow this to lead to new displays: some examples of this are the structure and navigation concept, how the layout areas are categorised and content design. International technological standards such as SCORM and AICC have significantly increased the operating power of WBT. Close collaboration with the client’s IT department and an early technical prototype which IMC provides its clients for testing purposes provide additional reliability. Project management and learning design are also of decisive importance. IMC places great value on detailed process descriptions in the planning phase, as this a deciding factor in the success of a WBT project. Comprehensive learning design consultation which includes the didactic aspects of modularisation, structuring and the segmentation of e-content, among other things, while also taking multimedia and interactivity considerations into account, complete IMC’s stress-free package for successful WBT projects.
