Whether it's annual compliance training, subject awareness, or a full curriculum, when produced for either internal audiences or customers, there is no better way to improve knowledge retention than animated content. Animation has been widely used in education since the early 1940's, and is often remembered for decades because it is visually distinct, has its own character, and makes for a lasting impression on every learner.

Comparing Benefits

Animation stands out against other forms of content. Take a look at these comparisons:

Alternative	Strengths	Drawbacks Versus Animation
Recorded Video	Great for representing specific individuals, complex equipment and locations	High production costs, becomes dated quickly, incremental updates are difficult and mismatched
Slide shows	Very quick to produce or update, minimum of cost, dense content	Unengaging for the learner, low retention, limited learning model
Live Presenter	Superior learner engagement, personal connection, dynamic and adaptive learning	Not self-paced. Requires presentation skills, availability, equipment. Incurs higher cost every time it is offered
