Fostering Thought Leadership to the Next Level
Higher Education is currently undergoing a paradigm shift. Changing workforce demographics, acute skills shortage, and ongoing economic uncertainties are compelling employers to rethink traditional approaches to talent management. The rise of automation and the gig economy are changing the way we work, and therefore, we need to bring about a change in the way we learn.
Both businesses and the Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) have been slow to adapt their educational models to cater to both – the changing needs of the workforce and the changing profiles of the learners, who are clearly moving away from macro to micro/nano degrees. There’s an evident need for better collaboration between businesses and the HEIs.
For HEIs to prepare for what comes next, they will need flexible partnerships that provide them with predictive and agile approaches to skills identification. They need to adopt a ‘smart’ learning approach with strong learning design principles, greater speed, agility, and digitally driven delivery.
Hurix Capabilities
Instructional Design Services
At HurixDigital, we believe that one size does not fit all. Our instructional design team is familiar with most theories and instructional design models that operate in the behavioural, cognitive, constructivist, as well as connectivism domains.
When designing and developing programs in the Higher Education space, we also use the following frameworks and principles as the basis of our design.
At Hurix, we follow 3 essential steps that form the basis for designing a learning experience – Review, Reflect, and Connect the dots.
We design learning journeys through these 3 steps and the endeavour is to make the journey and experience engaging, interactive, collaborative, as personalized as possible, and of course, intuitive.
Videos as a Service
Video learning has proved to be the key element of elearning and arguably the most loved format amongst the students. We design videos that have the power of bringing academic content to life thus, adding the much-needed engagement that was missing in traditional teaching. Our educational videos aim at promoting critical thinking and encourage students to approach education with an application-based mindset.
With a simplified explanation of the most abstract of topics, we ensure that our videos are highly interactive and engaging to make learning immersive.
We scale the development of educational videos in a quality and process-driven manner that are easily integrated into any courseware.
We create different types of videos to impart life into the academic content for higher education students.
| Animations | Motion Graphics | Papermation |
| Whiteboard | Talking Head | Stock Footage |
We devise innovative video content with animation and other interactive multimedia elements to develop online courses that keep students interested in the modules, enhance their retention capabilities, and make them want to learn and explore more.
Learning Consulting
We use a consultative approach to understand our customers’ business requirements and recommend solutions. Our approach can be summarized using the A.R.C. acronym – Assess, Recommend, and Create.
- We Assess your business, learning, and technology environments
- Then Recommend a plan for your immediate short-term as well as long-term needs
- Thereafter, we enable the plan by helping you Create the relevant interventions for training, process, technology, performance support, and change
Learning Experiences
Today, learning is not limited to a classroom. The combination of pedagogy with technology has resulted in creating an experience that goes beyond classroom learning.
Educators are looking for innovative ways to keep their students engaged. While online learning does offer a certain level of interactivity, students should also be provided with an opportunity to explore more, take risks and think outside the box.
We not only create a compelling learning environment for students to absorb new concepts, but also create learning experiences that leave a lasting impact.
We believe that the end goal of a learning program is not just scoring good grades in examinations, but also gaining valuable insights through supporting aids.
We therefore go beyond the normal pedagogy approach and incorporate several elements that enhance the overall learning experience of a student.
- Scenario-based learning – We develop creative scenarios to make the online learning programs more interactive. Students can experience scenarios that imitate real-life situations and make decisions in a simulated environment.
- Micro-learning – We design small and focused segments that enable students to absorb and recall information fairly quickly. Our micro-learning friendly design approach is driven by well-defined objectives and aims to reduce students’ cognitive overload.
- Story-based approach – We use a story-based approach to weave meaningful stories that help students to engage with the content and learn more effectively.
Gamification – We help you incentivize the learning program with points, achievements and rewards. By integrating effective gamification techniques, you can increase student engagement and motivate them to perform better.
