Imagine a world where you learn bitesize pieces of information whilst also being able to monitor your progress along the way; well, we live in that world and the tool is called E-learning module animations.
E-Learning Module Animations are transforming how educational content is delivered and absorbed. Using dynamic story-driven videos they bring concepts to life and make what is being learnt manageable, user-friendly and suitable for every age and background. Where screens are everywhere, E-learning module animations are the tool that can help every student in today’s fast moving world.
Why Choose E-Learning Module Animation?
We all like things bitesize, don’t we? Whether that’s our information or even those lovely burgers that you get at a fancy party! It allows us to appreciate the information we are being presented without feeling overwhelmed and unable to remember this vast body of information.
E-learning module animation is that whole concept nicely wrapped up. The challenges that educators and even industry professionals face are constantly evolving. With e-learning becoming more accessible than ever, being able to keep learners engaged whilst also ensuring that abstract or intricate topics are understood remains difficult. What animation can do is remove the hurdles to understanding. E-learning module animation takes it one step further by breaking down information into visually compelling, easy-to-understand stories and gives the educator and student the ability to see progress in a course.
Using vibrant imagery, clear narration and pacing, E-learning module animations can simplify subjects from STEM to soft skills, making digital courses accessible and inclusive for all learners.
If you need strong outcomes, consider this: studies indicate learners retain up to 95% of a message when viewed as animation, compared to just 10% via text alone. This makes animated e-learning modules a high-impact method to drive lasting knowledge and engagement for students—anywhere, anytime.
The Benefits of E-learning Module Animations
The proof is in the pudding - as the idiom always likes to say! We have seen studies after studies showing how animation leads to better retention, as the stat above shows to reduce learning barriers, but that’s not all. Here are some other benefits of incorporating E-learning module animations into your educational experience.
Boosted Retention
Animated modules transform dense or dry material into engaging lessons, increasing long-term recall. The short and long term benefit of this is that you remember it. Some studies have indicated that students can retain between 25% - 60% of the information provided from animation vs 8% - 10% of traditional face-to-face learning.
Simplified Complexity
Take something very difficult to explain. We’ve done animations all about cement and tunnel digging for clients. But imagine having to explain - in an educational setting - how the cement reacts with water for an underwater construction… Well with animation we can use graphics and motion to clarify even the most challenging topics—ideal for technical training, compliance, onboarding, and more.
Universal Accessibility
Learning anything can be a challenge but what if the target language is not the first language of the student? Well, animation breaks language and literacy barriers. It can support learners with diverse backgrounds, abilities, and learning preferences and as a module, they can be repeated and monitored so you have better control of helping students overcome any learning challenges.
On Brand Flexibility
If you’re an education facility with multiple locations or a multinational with… the same issue, then with e-learning module animations you can roll out your course across multiple platforms or update policies in line with your brand quickly. Wherever your students are, animations can be easily adapted and distributed and in multiple languages.
Where E-Learning module animation excels
If you have a Learning Management System (LMS) E-learning Module Animations can be seamlessly integrated. Whether it is to view on tablets, laptops, or phones. They also work in multiple environments—ensuring flexibility and maximum impact. Here are some examples of where it excels.
- Interactive tutorials for digital tools and apps
- Step-by-step guides for software or platform onboarding
- Scenario-based learning for workplace compliance
- Microlearning content for fast, focused skills development
- Accessible orientation modules for new users and staff
- Maintenance of engagement in lengthy online courses or professional development tracks

Frequently Asked Questions
How do animated explainer videos improve understanding in education?
Using multiple senses, this helps retention and studies show that learners retain up to 95% of information presented in animation compared to 10% from text alone. By using visuals, motion, and story-based explanations animation brings understanding to life.
Are animated explainer videos suitable for all age groups?
Do you have a school? What about a large business? Perhaps you run an events day. Well, animation can be used for all of these scenarios which makes it the perfect tool for children as well as adult learners by adjusting style, language and complexity.
What types of content work best with animated explainer videos in education?
This can totally vary based on the subject but in our experience, topics that require step-by-step guidance as well as visualisation of abstract processes (like STEM subjects), scenario-based learning, policy explanations, and digital tool training are particularly effective. Animation is also really helpful in breaking down these subjects into bitesize chunks.
