Introduction

The learning experience is built through a microlearning approach: micro-courses and short modules that allow users to learn in small steps, focusing on single topics without the cognitive load of traditional courses.

The platform can integrate gamification elements — goals, levels, feedback and game-like mechanics — to increase motivation and engagement along the learning path.

Micro-courses can include:

  • text content
  • multimedia content
  • augmented reality experiences

Each course is supported by a digital tutor that can answer questions, provide detailed explanations and guide the user through the learning path, replicating a human teacher experience and increasing engagement and learning effectiveness.
