dokeos

The world is changing. E-learning has reached maturity and is now part of day-to-day business. Technologies have evolved towards mobility, screentouch interactions, cloud computing and portable apps.

Globalisation has converted many of us into nomad workers: authoring in the train, interacting with learners everywhere, sharing data and software on USB keys and online apps like Gmail®, Skype® or Facebook®, so called Web 2.0 applications.

With its 2 million users community, Dokeos brings its contribution to this mobile world by developing Dokeos 2.0. The first learning management system to integrate mindmaps methodology, portable technology and online authoring of SCORM-compliant courses.

User-driven intelligence

Dokeos development is based on user experience, user feedback and user results. We do not invent features, we offer adaptative solutions for your training needs.

We analyse users needs during face-to-face training sessions, development meetings and online interactions where our clients provide us with their expertise, requirements and constraints.

From this long and patient process where concepts emerge slowly and progressively, we end up building a roadmap for the next release. This experience-based creativity process is what makes Dokeos different: learning oriented and simple to use. Learn more on Dokeos community >>

Learning activities gallery

Dokeos Tests is replaced by Quiz. A tool that guides you pedagogically into quiz building. Offering a gallery of 25 pre-cooked activities, Quiz helps you match the competences you have in mind with the relevant activity: Reasoning, Case study, Listening, Linking concepts on a map, Fill-in the form, Remove the intruder, Roleplay, Detect errors, Prioritize...

Graphical reporting

Dokeos provides detailed and accurate reporting at various levels: Pedagogical reporting on individual progress, Sociological reporting on trends and evolutions of your users community, HR reporting on competences and skills distribution. Dokeos 2.0 improves the reporting experience through visual diagrams that help the decision maker get the vision at first glance. Learn more >>

Smooth authoring experience

Dokeos is the leader in online authoring with Oogie Rapid learning that helps you move step by step from Powerpoint to e-learning interaction. The 2.0 release improves the authoring experience: less clics, course templates, integration of the quiz gallery into the authoring interface.

Video integration has never been so easy. Insert Youtube, streaming and synchronize audio with course content.

Multimedia toolbox

Dokeos 2.0 includes content: images, audio, mindmaps, video, SCORM courses, templates. This facilitates your creativity process (you do not start from a blank page) and helps you compare with existing production. You are set in a rich-media environment where you can pick objects, edit them or create your own.

A visual experience

Apple, Nokia and others uplifted our aesthetic and ergonomic standards. From authoring to reporting through interaction, all Dokeos interfaces are refurbished to provide the user with a smooth and elegant experience. This includes less clics, more coherence in the interface, buttons at the same place, systematic visual help, clear feedback messages, new iconset, graphical expression of ideas.

CMS : Dokeos as a website

Before users log into Dokeos, they see a home page and a few additional pages that you may have built. 2.0 improves the management of the pre-login experience by providing a default organization of your portal: self-explaining navigation, project presentation, team description, training catalogue...

Mindmapping

Mindmaps are everywhere. They help us brainstorm, structure and follow projects, describe ideas visually and transform ugly Powerpoint bullet lists into crystal clear logic diagrams.

Dokeos 2.0 will ship with an integrated Mindmapping technology that transforms your navigation experience, your course authoring activity and your training scenario presentation. Learn more >>

Decision making help

Where do you go? What do you want to achieve with e-learning? Meeting the trainers and e-learning project managers daily in our consulting activity, we know it is not easy to analyse one's needs nor to design a relevant training scenario. You question usually looks like: "How will I implement my ideas into this?"

25% only of the Dokeos features are used and your creativity is limited by the fact technology is not necessarily self-explaining.

Visual documentation fills this gap. Mindmaps help you analyse your needs and design your scenario. Screenshots and Flash tutorials provide features overview. Learn

Portable application

Bring a fully-featured Dokeos with you, offline on your laptop. And take advantage of standalone Authoring, Rapid learning not limited by the internet bandwidth, distribution of your courses in non-connected environments (boat, plane, not connected countries...). Learn alone but save your reporting data and share them with your tutor through a simple USB key. As portable as a CD-ROM, as interactive as a website. Learn more >>
