Actors & Animation Amplify eLearning

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion issues like workplace harassment and racism are mission-critical, and the quality and impact of your training must reflect this.

As a lawyer myself, I know that a "talking head" like me is not going to fit the bill. Nor is a text-heavy Power-Point lecture. Ryley Learning content engages even the most resistant learners. We use animation and professional voice actors to ensure that the message sticks.

Why Do We Use Animation ???

Animation brings our content to life. Animation is visually engaging, and is fosters learning retention.

Did you know that animation is a powerful educational tool that?promotes empathy? This happens when a character's story resonates with the audience.?This "emotional" connection can happen more readily with animated characters?than live human actors.

We tend to?dismiss eLearning with live actors?when the person doesn't look like us or the office setting isn't just like ours. (Not hard to do with the typical outdated?1990s-style eLearning?that's still on the market!)

Why Do We Use Professional Voice Actors???

Digital voices and "lay peoples'" voiceovers on PowerPoints don't cut it. We knew we had to match our top-notch?video animation with quality voicing by professionals.

We went with an All-star cast.?All the actors are members of the ACTRA union. We see and hear them in plays, movies, commercials, radio programs, and in live stand-up comedy.

During production, our actors knew when to make changes?to ensure the script was more realistic for the character, or authentic to them as a person in the world.

Then we took multiple takes with a director to?make sure the actor's tone matched the message?we wanted conveyed.

Perspectives: Voice Actor Dan Galea

Here, Dan Galea speaks about voicing the role of "Alex" in Ryley Learning's "Anti-Racism for Workplaces" eLearning course. Alex makes stereotypical assumptions about Kay’s interests… and acts like a jack *** as he asks for Kay’s help with the office party planning. “Can you help a brother out, yo? Makin’ a hiphop playlist!”

We Won an Award! (Pretty Much an eLearning Oscar!)

Ryley Learning is recognized for?quality and credibility. We have some hardware to prove it:

Silver Medal, Brandon Hall Group 2022 Excellence Awards, Best Learning Program for Unconscious Bias Awareness!?Our customer LCBO put us forward as a partnership. Very stiff competition across North America so we are very pleased and proud.
