BUBBLE BLASTER

This simple colour-matching game is a mobile gaming favourite and now you can use it to support your training programme. You can even match the colours to your own brand (see: Template Re-Branding).

Speedy reactions and good hand-eye coordination are needed for this mobile spin on a classic fairground attraction. Learners can pause to catch their breath with unlockable learning assets.

Template Re-branding

You can make the learning more effective by aligning it with your organisation’s brand and objectives. Our team of designers can create the ideal learning game, skinned for your learners.

MOUNTAIN MASTER

In Mountain Master, your learners can test their reflexes on their mission to get to the top of the mountain. As they pass each checkpoint, they’ll unlock a vital piece of learning content.

Space Invaders

Make learning more exciting by turning it into intergalactic gauntlet. Your learners can now pilot a spaceship, collecting as many learning assets as they can before they’re destroyed by a meteor.

Custom Game Design

Game Mechanics

Gamification makes everyday tasks more compelling by adding game mechanics like badges and leaderboards. These features keep learners returning again and again to complete more content.

Start your Demo

Badge Creator

With Genie, you can create an entire library of virtual rewards for every occasion. Upload your own image, give it a catchy name and description, then use it in any of your learning games.

Integrated Leaderboards

Used in conjunction with the Academy LMS or the Knowledge Arcade, each of your learning games can have its own leaderboard letting every learner see how they compare against their team mates.

Experience Points

Experience Points (XP) can act as a virtual currency for your learners. Genie lets you switch this functionality on and award points to learners who complete learning objectives within the game.

Assessing Learners

Genie gives you many options when it comes to assessing your learners’ performance using the latest techniques and standards.

Start your Demo

Multiple Choice Questions

You can fill your Question Bank with multiple choice questions, arranged in categories to suit your needs. With multiple licenses, you can also invite your subject matter experts to create questions.

Text Validation

With this question type, the question creator can specify a correct answer in text form. The learner must input the same text in order to get positive feeback when they submit their answer.

Fill Knowledge Gaps

For each question in Genie, you can attach further learning assets. These are released to the learner if they get the question wrong and let you deal with the knowledge gap on the spot.

Mix & Match

This question type adds an extra level of interactivity. It lets your instructional designers create groups of items and ask your learners to place each item in the correct group.

Discovery Method

This versatile question type allows you to create units with dynamic text which changes according to learner inputs. The learner can also download their answers in a workbook at the end.

Reporting

Genie’s range of export options allow you to analyse and track your learners’ progress and discover which content is working for you.

Content Reports

When used in conjunction with the Academy LMS or the Knowledge Arcade, Genie’s content types let you report on the metrics that matter and discover which content is working for you.

Genie’s learning content is created to make use of the latest eLearning standards, like xAPI, giving you a more complete picture of their behaviour than ever before.

Question Drilldown

Learning Assets

Genie has all you need to give your learners a varied learning experience, letting you support your training programme with a range of different content types.

Images

Your team of content creators can upload image files and arrange them by category in the Asset Library. This lets you support your learning units with photos, charts and eye-catching infographics.

Audio

Genie contains a lightweight audio player, letting you upload and use audio files in your units. This means that you can include voice samples, interviews or even entire podcasts in your training.

Video

Genie’s learning units support the most common types of video files (mp4, mpg). Content creators can manage the videos in the Asset Library and add them to any learning unit they produce.

Documents

Using the question feedback settings, training managers can push assets to learners with gaps in their knowledge. These can include documents, like PDF files, which can be managed in the Asset Library.

User Generated Workbooks

Genie’s Discovery Method tool helps your learners create their own content as they learn. Prompts throughout the unit ask for learner inputs. These are gathered in a PDF document which the learner can then download.
