To make it happen, they created a training game and a quiz on product knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>As METRO didn&rsquo;t have any experience at eLearning course development, they created a game with video narrations from scratch. Take a look at their success story, as told by Eugene Skrochinsky, a Distance Learning Manager at METRO Cash &amp; Carry.<\/p>\n<p>About 2 years ago, we recognized the need for an easy-to-use, but effective <a title=\"Best eLearning Authoring Tools\" href=\"\/blog\/elearning-authoring-tools\">eLearning authoring tools<\/a> for teaching employees. We have considered and tested several solutions, including iSpring Suite.<\/p>\n<h2>Staff training game<\/h2>\n<p>The first eLearning material we created with the help of iSpring was the interactive game &ldquo;Gap Check.&rdquo; This is a training simulator for employees who stock the shelves. The goal of the game is to teach the staff how to scan empty racks in the store. We came up with a script, shot a video with actual staff members, and edited both the video and audio by ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>The game starts by choosing a character. The script is nonlinear: every step in the game is a choice that determines how things are going to move. For each right step taken, an employee gets points.<\/p>\n<p>The course has been taken by over 4,000 people.<\/p>\n<h2>What the game looks like<\/h2>\n<p>This is what the training game we have created in PowerPoint and iSpring looks like:<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9660\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/gapcheck1.png\" alt=\"Interactive game made in iSpring\" width=\"720\" height=\"544\" \/>\n<p>Learning starts with choosing a character:<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9661\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/gapcheck2.png\" alt=\"Choosing a character in an interactive game\" width=\"720\" height=\"543\" \/>\n<p>The script of the game is nonlinear: actions taken by an employee determine the course of events. A virtual employee can move up the career ladder, but if a player makes too many mistakes, the game has to be started over.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9662\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/gapcheck3.png\" alt=\"Interactive game made in PowerPoint\" width=\"720\" height=\"539\" \/>\n<p>It didn&rsquo;t take much effort to learn how to work with the iSpring tool; the interface is intuitive and logical. Special thanks must be given to the support team. After facing a technical issue, we got help from the iSpring specialists right away.<\/p>\n<h2>Product knowledge quiz<\/h2>\n<p>The next step toward understanding all of iSpring&rsquo;s capabilities was creating a product knowledge quiz. A great help at starting work on that was a webinar iSpring specialists regularly hold for their customers. Thanks to the webinar, we have learned to use iSpring functionality to the fullest.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out it wasn&rsquo;t that difficult to create a professional-looking quiz. The iSpring arsenal has all possible quiz types and flexible settings, which helps bring all ideas to life. Here&rsquo;s what we had as a result:<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\" style=\"height: 496px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2020\/11\/ispring-blog-image-1606112066.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"496\" \/><\/div>\n<p>The quiz includes 142 questions. We have added detailed info on each product:<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\" style=\"height: 478px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2020\/11\/ispring-blog-image-1606112077.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"478\" \/><\/div>\n<p>It is possible to see scores for each answer:<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\" style=\"height: 524px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2020\/11\/ispring-blog-image-1606112086.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"701\" height=\"525\" \/><\/div>\n<p>After creating several learning materials with iSpring tools, we see that the company is progressing. The tools are constantly updated with new capabilities (like a dialogue trainer). If you need an easy-to-use and versatile tool, we think iSpring Suite is an excellent acquisition for eLearning authoring at your company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-right\"><em>Eugene Skrochinsky, Distance Learning Manager,<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-right\"><em>Metro Cash &amp; Carry.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"xsbf-after-content\" class=\"after-content\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>METRO Cash &amp; Carry needed to deploy staff training.
