Aix-Marseille University wanted a simple and effective management training for its executives. Audace was commissioned to create micro-learning modules to complement the in-person training. They cover key management topics. The goal is to strengthen participants’ behavioral, managerial, and technical skills.
Device
The training meets the needs of the University of Aix-Marseille by adapting to organizational constraints and participants’ preferences. Indeed, they prefer to find solutions to their problems independently. The training consists of a series of quick learning sessions (micro-learning). These sessions supplement and enhance the in-person training program.
Content
The modules cover key management topics such as establishing a climate of trust, managerial courage, embodying a vision, preventing discrimination, leading meetings, and much more.
Each module features a unique scenario and presents a manager facing a specific situation. Learners thus have concrete and inspiring examples to address everyday managerial challenges. For example, one of the modules involves resolving a conflict between two employees to deliver a service on time.
Pitch : A file expected by a client has not yet been sent. Medhi, the manager, notices that tensions within his team are impeding the progress of the file. He must quickly find a solution to resolve the conflict between Juan and Inès, two employees who do not get along, in order to deliver the service on time! It is up to him to figure out how to rectify the situation…
Technical solution
The training is accessible via the Moodle LMS platform, providing participants with a personalized and immersive learning experience. Audace uses Plotagon® animation software to create animated scenes with configurable characters. The tool also offers a broad library of backgrounds, lip animations, and voiceovers. Additionally, the LMS integration facilitates participant management, assessments, and tracking.
Learning Objectives Strategic Issues
The training enables participants to master the behavioral, managerial, and technical aspects of management. It offers a skills upgrade for the managers at the University of Aix Marseille. They thereby strengthen their role as intermediaries and influencers within the university. Strategic goals include improving quality of work life, developing balanced managerial courage, and aligning with a common vision.
Pedagogy
Memorize > Understand > Apply > Analyze > Synthesize > Evaluate
The system adopts an immersive and playful pedagogical approach to foster learner engagement. The modules last between 4 and 6 minutes, with short screens of approximately 45 seconds each. Printable summary sheets are provided to facilitate the review of key points. The training promotes active learning and offers formative assessments with feedback. Game mechanics are integrated to stimulate participant engagement and encourage knowledge retention.
Thus, these micro-learning modules enhance the ability to lead and drive managerial actions. Managers benefit from an immersion in fundamental management concepts and become capable of addressing daily management challenges.
