Effective online training courses with clear animations

Boring e-learning modules full of text and static images—sound familiar? Learners drop out, knowledge retention remains low, and your investment in online training isn’t paying off. An e-learning animation changes all that.

As a specialized animation studio in the Ede region, we create e-learning animations that keep learners engaged, make complex subject matter accessible, and integrate seamlessly with your LMS. Whether you want to enhance a single module or animate an entire training program, we’ll work with you to find the right solution.

We work with L&D professionals, HR departments, educational institutions, and organizations in the healthcare, government, and technology sectors throughout the Netherlands.

LMS

What is an e-learning animation?

An e-learning animation is a short, clear animated video designed specifically for use in online training courses and LMS environments such as Totara, Moodle, Cornerstone, or TalentLMS. These animations are simpler in style than standard animated videos, which keeps costs lower, but they are just as effective at conveying the message.

E-learning animations are used as:

  • Introductory Video at the Start of a Module

  • Explanatory Video: For a Complex Theory or Procedure

  • Microlearning: Short, self-paced learning modules lasting 1 to 3 minutes

  • Scenario Animation: A situation that prompts students to reflect on a choice or dilemma

  • Summary video at the end of a module

Greater engagement

Animation engages multiple senses at once. Learners stay focused longer and are less likely to lose interest than they are with text or still images.

Better knowledge retention

Visual information is remembered up to 65% better than text alone. Animation makes abstract concepts concrete and memorable.

Consistent message

Every participant receives exactly the same instruction, regardless of when or where they take the training.

Scalable

A single animation reaches a hundred or a thousand students—at no additional cost each time.

Time-saving

A 90-second animation often replaces 10 minutes of text or an hour of classroom instruction.

Accessible

With subtitles and multiple language versions, you can reach every student, including those abroad.

The Light style is clean and functional, featuring icons, text, and simple movements. It’s ideal for knowledge transfer, compliance training, and product explanations. The Full style features richer animations with characters, complex scenes, and more movement for maximum visual impact. Full costs twice as much due to the longer production time.

This makes your e-learning accessible to people with hearing impairments and suitable for international use. Subtitles in additional languages are also available, either through AI or professional translators.
Yes. We can write the scripts based on your learning objectives and content input. Scriptwriting is an optional add-on for each animation. You can also choose to provide the scripts yourself. We’ll then make sure they’re ready for animation and align with the visual style.
Once the storyboard is approved, an animation will be ready within 2 to 3 business days. With a well-planned production workflow, we can deliver 2 to 3 animations per week. This is ideal if you need a larger package within a tight deadline. We always coordinate the schedule with you in advance so you know exactly where you stand.
Yes. The animation remains the same. For each language, we record a new voice-over using AI or a voice actor, or we add subtitles. This is cost-effective and ensures a consistent look and feel throughout the entire training program.
Absolutely. We start every e-learning package with a one-time, customized style guide in which we translate your corporate identity, color palette, and brand identity into a visual language that is applied consistently throughout all animations. This recognizability builds trust among learners and gives the training program a professional look and feel.
Our e-learning animations are available in packages of 3 or more. The more animations you purchase, the lower the price per animation. With 7 or more animations, you’ll receive the maximum volume discount of 20% on the animation costs.
