Engaging method of learning

An excellent tool to bring your lessons up a level, providing modern content that can be used as part of your presentations or for the students to independently work through. In addition, you are provided with data and statistics informing you of where students require further assistance. The use of Electude helps to break up lessons and provides an additional engaging method of learning.

Increased learning retention

Electude has helped the Automotive Department take its curriculum into the technical age and stay up to date with technologies in the transportation industry. We think it’s an amazing platform to teach our students both introductory and advanced concepts. We have seen an increase in retention of the learning objectives and practical application of theory after having the students use Electude instead of traditional textbook materials.

Amazing resource

Electude was an amazing resource during C-19 and continues to prove its worth. With everything from introductory-level materials for our schools’ learners to advanced diagnostics using the simulator (my favourite), its user-friendly interface helps our students learn quickly and effectively. It’s easy to monitor a student’s or class’s progress, and the admin tools make it simple to manage student accounts and control the release of content as learners progress.

Simplicity and ease

Electude’s platform has been a very pleasant novelty. It has brought simplicity and ease to established teaching processes. It helps explain in a very clear way concepts that can sometimes be confusing or complex. The tools linked to physics concepts that are applicable in various areas of daily life are of great help. And in this context of remote learning, the simulator is the best tool that we could apply.

Students learn better with Electude

Students learn better with Electude. We work with textbooks, but many students see them more as paperweights. Images should be colored, should move and show changes. Also, the students can control their learning speed, which is particularly important for students with learning disabilities who would otherwise be overwhelmed. This helps bring heterogeneous learners together. And also gives the stronger students the opportunity to develop further.

A success with my students

Teaching with the Electude platform has been a success with my students. It has served them well, and they have told me that they have learned and understood better than with other courses received. (…) It is an excellent learning process since you learn at all times: theory, interactive practice with the simulator and evaluations.

Juan José Lara

Automotive Mechanics Teacher

KAPTEC, Guatemala

Excellent simulator

The modules are full of information and animations that capture our students’ attention and clarify their doubts. The virtual workshop simulator is excellent because the students feel they are doing a real job, since it has a customer complaint sheet, tools, and diagnostic equipment. They can change damaged parts and even close the order in the invoice after having made the correct repair.

Breadth of content

Students can access this product from anywhere on multiple devices. With that said, one of the best features of Electude is the breadth of content. Electude is used by many of our faculty with their students as a pre-lab requirement. Students will be given modules to complete so they have a good grasp of the content before coming to class/lab, making the learning session go smoother.

The present and future of teaching

I am sure Electude platform is the present and future in the teaching of automotive mechanics and other disciplines. I’m just wondering why we couldn’t have discovered Electude before!

Teenagers are studying more

Since we use Electude, parents tell us adolescents spend more time studying and practising than before.

Electude’s lesson, quiz, and test modules each serve a different didactic purpose:

Lesson module

  • Designed to teach new knowledge and skills
  • Gives students immediate feedback on their answer
  • Supports learning across different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy
  • Best suited for guiding and supporting the learning process

Quiz module

  • Designed for practice and checking knowledge
  • Similar to a lesson, but more focused on checking understanding during learning
  • Gives students immediate feedback on their answer
  • Best suited for reinforcement and self-assessment

Test module

  • Designed for assessment
  • Intended to measure results rather than teach new content
  • Does not give immediate feedback while the student is taking it
  • Best suited for determining a student’s level of knowledge or performance

Educators and schools may use lessons, quizzes, and tests in different ways depending on their educational approach. The main distinction lies in the intended didactic functionality of each module: lessons for teaching, quizzes for practice, and tests for assessment.
