There are several reasons why animation is effective for corporate training. Here are three main reasons.

■Improvement of Memory Retention Rate

Animated teaching materials are said to enhance understanding more than text or audio-only materials, as they allow for visual information capture. Additionally, by using storytelling, it becomes easier to engage the audience, achieving memorable education rather than just conveying information. For example, when characters move within a story, learners can empathize, making it easier for knowledge to take root. Furthermore, by illustrating specific actions and situations through animation, behavioral changes in daily tasks can also be expected.

■Improvement of Production Efficiency

In traditional video production, cost and time were significant challenges, but by using Vyond, these burdens can be greatly reduced.
For example, Whole Foods Market, a supermarket in the United States, has been able to produce content in 75% less time than before by utilizing Vyond, which has accelerated their educational deployment. Additionally, for PDT Global, which operates in the education sector, the cost reduction effect is clear, with outsourcing costs reduced by 3 million yen per video.

■Flexibility of Content Updates

In today's rapidly changing business environment, updating educational content is essential. With Vyond, you can easily adjust animations even when content changes occur, reflecting new information. This enables timely information delivery, even for content that requires updates or regular revisions.

We will introduce case studies and effects of companies utilizing Vyond.

■In-house Training Case Study of Tokyo Electron

At our client, Tokyo Electron Limited, there was a challenge where training related to contracts tends to be complex, and traditional training videos using PowerPoint often resulted in low levels of understanding and interest among participants. To address this, we created animations using Vyond for internal training on the theme of "e-learning content to learn the basics of contracts."

By utilizing Vyond, we can provide visually understandable content, which has received high praise from participants. According to training surveys, 98.7% of participants responded that "the training content was beneficial," and 99.5% responded that "they were able to understand the content." This high rating demonstrates the success of effective information delivery through animation.
