Trusted by leading brands to tell their stories

E-learning has transformed how organisations educate, train, and communicate. From corporate training and onboarding to schools and animation courses online for kids, digital learning platforms are now central to how knowledge is delivered. However, with increasing competition for attention, simply providing information is no longer enough,content needs to be engaging, memorable, and easy to understand.

This is where e-learning animation plays a vital role. At Tricks, we create animated e-learning videos that turn complex topics into clear, visually engaging content. As a specialist e-learning animation studio, we help businesses, educators, and learning and development teams deliver impactful digital learning experiences that improve engagement and retention.

Whether you’re developing custom e-learning animation, building an animation module, or producing animated videos for e-learning, animation allows you to communicate more effectively with modern audiences.

Our E-Learning Animation Services

At Tricks, we provide a complete range of e-learning animation production services designed to support learning outcomes and improve user experience.

Our services include animated e-learning videos, interactive module animation, onboarding content, compliance training, and learning and development animation for internal teams. We work with organisations to create structured, engaging content that fits seamlessly into Learning Management Systems (LMS) and digital platforms.

As an experienced e-learning animation company, we understand how to balance creativity with instructional design. Every project is tailored to your objectives, ensuring your elearning animated videos are not only visually engaging but also educationally effective.

2D Animation for E-Learning

2D animation for e-learning is one of the most effective ways to communicate information clearly and efficiently. Using clean visuals, illustrations, and motion, 2D animation simplifies complex ideas into easy-to-follow content.

It is widely used for explainer videos, onboarding modules, compliance training, and animation for e-learning where clarity and accessibility are key. 2D animated e-learning content works particularly well for breaking down processes, explaining concepts step-by-step, and guiding learners through structured courses.

At Tricks, we use 2D animation to create engaging animated e-learning videos that are easy to update, scalable across platforms, and adaptable for different audiences and languages.

3D Animation for E-Learning

For more complex or technical subjects, 3D animation for e-learning provides an added level of depth and realism. Using advanced modelling and rendering techniques, 3D animation allows learners to explore products, environments, and processes in a more immersive way.

This makes it particularly valuable for industries such as healthcare, engineering, manufacturing, and technology. 3D e-learning animation can be used to demonstrate how equipment works, visualise internal systems, or simulate real-world scenarios that would otherwise be difficult to explain.

By combining realism with clarity, animated e-learning videos created in 3D help learners better understand complex topics while maintaining engagement throughout the learning experience.

How Animation Is Used in E-Learning

Animation is highly versatile and can be used across a wide range of learning environments. From corporate training to education platforms, animation in e-learning helps organisations deliver consistent, engaging content at scale.

Common uses include onboarding programmes, compliance training, product training, educational courses, and animation modules within LMS platforms. Animation is also widely used for microlearning, where information is delivered in short, focused segments that are easier to absorb and retain.

Because e-learning animation can be accessed across devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones, it ensures learners can engage with content anytime, anywhere. This flexibility makes it a powerful tool for modern education and training.

Benefits of E-Learning Animation

Animated videos for e-learning carry real advantages for both learners and the organisations producing the training:

  • Increased engagement. Animation captures attention more effectively than text alone, keeping learners focused throughout the course.
  • Better information retention. People remember more when information is delivered visually, making animated content well-suited to long-term learning outcomes.
  • Simpler explanations. Animation breaks complex topics down into clear, visual steps, easing technical training, academic subjects and professional development.
  • Accessibility. E-learning animation supports visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners, and adapts to multiple languages for global audiences.
  • Lower cost at scale. Content can be reused, updated and rolled out across platforms without repeated in-person sessions or live-action production.

Our Process

At Tricks, we follow a structured and collaborative process to deliver high-quality e-learning animation production that meets your objectives.

We start with brief and strategy, working closely with you to understand your audience, learning goals, and platform requirements. This ensures your custom e-learning animation is aligned with your overall training or educational strategy.

Next is production, where we develop scripts, visuals, and animation through a series of structured stages. This includes storyboarding, design, and animation, ensuring every element supports the learning objectives.

During review and revisions, we collaborate with your team to refine the content, ensuring accuracy and effectiveness. This stage is particularly important for educational content, where clarity and precision are essential.

Finally, we deliver the completed animated e-learning videos in formats ready for your LMS, website, or digital platforms, ensuring seamless integration and deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does e-learning animation cost?

Cost depends on the length and how much actual animation each minute carries. A 2-minute 2D module usually sits between £4k and £12k. Heavier 3D work or longer runtimes push it higher. We quote against your script and learning outcomes so the number you see at the start is the number you pay.

How long does production take?

Most modules take 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to final file. The thing that usually slows projects is internal sign-off on the script, not the animation. If you can get the script approved before production starts, we can move faster.

Will it work with our LMS (SCORM, xAPI, MP4)?

Yes. MP4 for most video-based courses, SCORM if you need progress tracking, or xAPI when you want more granular learner data. Tell us what your LMS takes and we'll match the spec.

Should we use 2D or 3D animation?

2D usually fits soft-skills, compliance and process work. It's quicker to produce and cheaper to update later. 3D earns its keep on technical content where learners need to see how a product or a piece of machinery actually works. Send us the brief and we'll recommend.

What's the ideal length for an e-learning video?

90 seconds to 3 minutes is where most training videos land for a reason. That's about as much as anyone watches in one sitting. For dense subjects we usually break content into a short series instead of building one long video.

Can we update the animation later if compliance rules or processes change?

Yes. We build with editable project files and a modular scene structure, so individual sections can be updated without rebuilding the whole thing. Update costs are usually a small fraction of what you paid the first time round, depending on what's changing.
