THE Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) has launched a new digital learning ‘ecosystem’ inspired by the look and feel of 3D gaming environments.
Dubbed ECITB World, it is the industry-led skills body’s new learning resource strand to sit within its award-winning e-learning portal – the Learning Experience Platform (LXP).
Inspired by classic video games, learners enter a recognisable environment made up of themed districts and complete learning within each one.
The districts will be on themes such as health and safety, industry, technical, essential, professional, or future skills.
Chris Mann, ECITB director of learning and assurance, said, “ECITB World is our next-generation learning identity, built through gold standard e-learning on the LXP and designed to scale across all learning resources. Each module is a full e-learning course in its own right, but all courses share a consistent ‘world’ look, tone, structure and progression model to create a connected learner experience.
“Our ECITB World ecosystem will not just be an online experience. The same look and feel will transfer into our offline learning resources to create a transferable identity that extends beyond just e-learning. This includes PowerPoint learning packs, logbooks, learner records, supporting resources and workshop materials.
“The goal is to make our most-used learning feel more engaging, modern and achievable, while creating a recognisable learning brand that learners and training providers immediately understand and trust.”
