Custom Content Development Delivering Engaging Learning Experiences

Translation & Localization Rapid Authoring


Authoring tools are considered to be the most cost effective and rapid

development tools in elearning content development, with an ability to meet all

the desired standards. Business moves very fast, at times demanding training

solutions to be delivered in a matter of days rather than months. This precludes

the use of an elaborate development cycle and the time it involves. Then why

wait for months or even weeks, when we offer rapid authoring solutions that

deliver in days.

We provide translation and localization solutions that makes

eLearning accessible across varied cultures and languages.

We have the capability of converting the content into 50+

international languages. The content will not only be

converted into these languages, they can even be recorded in

multiple languages. We use native translators to maintain the

quality standards of the translation.

We use the following rapid authoring tools to develop

eLearning courses:

•Articulate’s Presenter, Engage, and Quizmaker

•Adobe’s Captivate

•Trivantis’ Lectora

•Rapid Intake’s ProForm

We give you the freedom to decide your tool of preference, or, depending

on the nature of the project, we recommend a tool to create a standards

compliant eLearning course.

We follow following process in translation & localization:

•Short–listing VO artists and Preparation of audio scripts in

base language

•Preparation of translated audio scripts

•Management of audio recording and QA of recorded audio

•Integration of audio files into translated version & re–

synching as required

•Replacement of transcript and onscreen text and finally

QA of translated version

How about explaining the concept of FOUR P’s in management

through a live game, giving the learner an option of assembling a

product, define marketing strategy, make a cost sheet and sell the

product.

Game based learning deals with applications that have

defined learning outcomes. Generally they are designed in

order to balance the subject matter with the gameplay and

the ability of the player to retain and apply said subject

matter to the real world.

Experience with and affinity for games as learning tools is an

increasingly universal characteristic among those entering higher

education and the workforce. Game-based learning is an

expansive category, ranging from simple paper-and-pencil games

like word searches all the way up to complex, massively

multiplayer online and role-playing games.

We offer complete learning game design and development

services that target a wide variety of learning & performance

outcomes. We can identify whether a digital learning game

can meet your learning needs, the type of digital game to be

used to meet those needs, and also provide extensive game

design guidance to freeze on design. Our development

service follows to bring the game vision to fruition.

Piron offers simulations of varied categories:

• Software Simulations

• Problem Based Simulations

• Scenario Based Simulations

• Process Simulations

• Operational Simulations

Game-based Learning


A Simulation is an “Opportunity to make decisions in a real situation without the

fear of failure”. How about testing your ERP or any software product in live real

time scenario, being fearless of committing mistakes, this is a simulation

environment meant for learning, although, the system is well supported with

guided and non-guided parameters to ensure that your learning is going the

right way. Scenario-based learning is designed to put learners in a situation or

context, introduce them to the issues and challenges in that context, and gives

them an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills relevant to the situation.

Simulations & Scenarios

We use ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluate) Instructional Design Model

to help our clients analyze their training needs, design and develop training materials, implement

training, and evaluate its effectiveness. Our set of project templates is based on these five phases:

Each phase is characterized by a set of activities and a project output in the form of a tangible deliverable.

The deliverable for one phase is the input for the next. Each phase also culminates in a review , which

forms a go/no-go point for deciding whether to proceed to the next phase or not.

Our Project Delivery Model For Content Development


Our development process

is fundamental to how we

work. We have laid well-

defined processes and

guidelines to make the

development process

smoother and simpler

while ensuring we add

value to the learning

solution.
