How Teach Up helps you train with three learning formats

When it comes to supporting the skills development of your teams, choosing the right learning format is key to driving both engagement and success. How do you select the right training format? How do you boost course completion and ensure real mastery of skills? At Teach Up, we provide three core learning formats for your training programs: the e-learning module, the blended learning path, and the assessment. 

What’s more, thanks to our Adaptive Learning approach, each training is optimized to deliver a tailored learning experience, perfectly adapted to each learner’s specific needs, enabling them to progress at their own pace. In this article, you’ll discover our three learning formats in detail—when and how to use them, and how Adaptive Learning can help you maximize your training strategy.

Why use e-learning modules? 

The main goal of an e-learning module is usually to bring a target audience up to speed on specific knowledge or skills so they can apply them in real-life situations. At Teach Up, we generally recommend e-learning modules lasting 10 to 20 minutes, focused on a small number of highly practical topics learners will actually need on the job (after all, there’s little point in memorizing information they’ll never use—or can easily look up in seconds). 

E-learning modules can be used in many ways, such as: 

• to deliver knowledge on a specific topic, supporting memorization or review of essential points (e.g. training your sales team on a new product just before launch, or standardizing knowledge during onboarding), 
• to ensure mastery of compliance-related topics, 
• to share best practices to support everyday performance (e.g. soft skills, management). 

No matter your training goal, our Teach Up authoring tool is designed to support you. It offers a wide range of features you can use to create an interactive and engaging learning experience.

How to create a Teach Up module?

Building a module in Teach Up is simple: just combine different elements such as text, images, documents, links, videos, and even audio files, all aligned with your learning objectives. You can also easily reuse existing content (Word docs, PowerPoint decks, SCORM modules, PDFs, images, etc.). 

The creation process is enhanced with automation features that make life easier for instructional designers—whether they’re beginners or experts. 

You can also integrate social learning directly into your modules to encourage collaboration. Learners can share their experiences asynchronously through polls and contribution boards, which you can place throughout the training (you can even link directly to your company’s internal social networks to keep everything in one channel). 

Finally, to boost memorization and maintain attention, you can gamify your training and adapt it in real time to each learner’s level of expertise, thanks to Micro Adaptive Learning. Just highlight the essentials and create key questions—Teach Up, powered by generative AI, takes care of the rest.

Boost learning with Micro Adaptive Learning 

Micro Adaptive Learning personalizes the content of an e-learning module at the micro level. Using dynamic algorithms that function like a neural network, Teach Up captures every learner interaction on screen. These are then used to adapt the difficulty of games and questions in real time, ensuring full mastery of the module at each learner’s own pace. 

For example, on a 15-minute module, Teach Up can generate around 15,000 possible learning paths—compared to just one with a traditional linear approach. 

To activate this feature, simply add key questions (or generate them with AI) and include interactive learning games such as open questions, multiple-choice quizzes, drag-and-drop labels, mystery cards, “Master Words,” word searches, or hidden answers. 

To strengthen retention of critical knowledge, Teach Up also offers Hyper Memorization. This feature ensures that 100% of learners who complete a module have correctly answered a set of author-selected questions—without requiring a final exam. This is especially useful for compliance training.

And with Teach Up’s e-learning module format, you can also create Work-Based Learning Actions (AFEST in France) or simple “Field Challenges.”

Why use a training program? 

A training program, also known as a SPOC (Small Private Online Course), combines multiple learning formats to serve a specific objective. The idea is to guide the learner through acquiring several skills in a structured way, while tracking progress throughout the journey. 

In Teach Up, training programs such as Onboarding ones can include an extensive variety of formats to achieve your learning goal: face-to-face sessions, e-learning modules, assessments, virtual classrooms, AFEST, videos, documents, links to websites or cloud platforms, SCORM modules from other authoring tools, immersive experiences, and more. 

Once the elements are set up, designers can define conditions between steps, making certain content: 

• Optional: extra resources to deepen learning, 
• Mandatory: content every learner must complete to progress, 
• Adaptive: using Macro Adaptive Learning to personalize the journey for each learner.

Personalize learning with Macro Adaptive Learning 

Macro Adaptive Learning adapts the training experience at the path level. 

After an initial assessment or self-assessment test (at the start of the path or of a sub-section), Teach Up’s algorithms design a personalized program for each learner, proposing only the modules relevant to their current level of mastery. 

The goal is to recognize existing skills, save learners time, and boost engagement. 

On average, thanks to Macro Adaptive Learning, Teach Up learners save more than 40% learning time, while ensuring they acquire the skills that matter most.

Client case study: training in energy-efficient renovation 

Learners: 
More than 325,000 future professionals in energy renovation, along with 12,000 teachers training the students. 

Objective: 
Deliver differentiated learning paths tailored to individual needs. 

Solution: 
Faced with a huge training organization (200 e-learning modules, 74 workshops, 500 videos, etc.), Macro Adaptive Learning uses a self-assessment test at the start of the path or topic. This determines each learner’s level and guides them accordingly. 

Result: 
As many learning paths as learners—each person learns only what they need, at their own pace.

In a Teach Up e-learning module or learning path, skills are already automatically assessed thanks to Micro and Macro Adaptive Learning. So what added value does the dedicated assessment module bring? 

Customize assessments to fit specific needs 

The Teach Up assessment module meets a wide range of needs, for both designers and learners. 

Creating an assessment follows the same process as building an e-learning module. You can customize by: 

1. Setting the question order 
   Choose whether questions follow a specific sequence or appear randomly. You can also limit response time and select the game type for each question. 
2. Setting a minimum passing score 
   Define the percentage required to pass and customize the messages displayed based on learner performance. 

Define the ultimate goal of your assessment 

Assessments add value by recognizing learner engagement and objectively validating skill acquisition. 

Depending on your goals, an assessment can be used to: 

• create stronger engagement with interactive learning games, boosting retention of key concepts, 
• measure mastery of a specific subject, 
• recognize and reward achievement with certification, validating expertise at the end of the assessment.

In summary, Teach Up’s three learning formats complement each other and deliver powerful benefits through Adaptive Learning: 

• 36% less screen time compared to linear training, since learners study only what they need, 
• 100% mastery of key content with Hyper Memorization, 
• 92% completion rates thanks to automatic adaptation of exercises and content depth. 

And for each format, a dashboard tracks learner progress: completion rates, time spent, mastery, knowledge statistics, and more.
