Custom Content Development Delivering Engaging Learning Experiences
Translation & Localization Rapid Authoring
LMS | Custom Content | Mobile Learning | Online Courses
Authoring tools are considered to be the most cost effective and rapid
development tools in elearning content development, with an ability to meet all
the desired standards. Business moves very fast, at times demanding training
solutions to be delivered in a matter of days rather than months. This precludes
the use of an elaborate development cycle and the time it involves. Then why
wait for months or even weeks, when we offer rapid authoring solutions that
deliver in days.
We provide translation and localization solutions that makes
eLearning accessible across varied cultures and languages.
We have the capability of converting the content into 50+
international languages. The content will not only be
converted into these languages, they can even be recorded in
multiple languages. We use native translators to maintain the
quality standards of the translation.
We use the following rapid authoring tools to develop
eLearning courses:
•Articulate’s Presenter, Engage, and Quizmaker
•Adobe’s Captivate
•Trivantis’ Lectora
•Rapid Intake’s ProForm
We give you the freedom to decide your tool of preference, or, depending
on the nature of the project, we recommend a tool to create a standards
compliant eLearning course.
We follow following process in translation & localization:
•Short–listing VO artists and Preparation of audio scripts in
base language
•Preparation of translated audio scripts
•Management of audio recording and QA of recorded audio
•Integration of audio files into translated version & re–
synching as required
•Replacement of transcript and onscreen text and finally
QA of translated version
How about explaining the concept of FOUR P’s in management
through a live game, giving the learner an option of assembling a
product, define marketing strategy, make a cost sheet and sell the
product.
Game based learning deals with applications that have
defined learning outcomes. Generally they are designed in
order to balance the subject matter with the gameplay and
the ability of the player to retain and apply said subject
matter to the real world.
Experience with and affinity for games as learning tools is an
increasingly universal characteristic among those entering higher
education and the workforce. Game-based learning is an
expansive category, ranging from simple paper-and-pencil games
like word searches all the way up to complex, massively
multiplayer online and role-playing games.
We offer complete learning game design and development
services that target a wide variety of learning & performance
outcomes. We can identify whether a digital learning game
can meet your learning needs, the type of digital game to be
used to meet those needs, and also provide extensive game
design guidance to freeze on design. Our development
service follows to bring the game vision to fruition.
Piron offers simulations of varied categories:
• Software Simulations
• Problem Based Simulations
• Scenario Based Simulations
• Process Simulations
• Operational Simulations
Game-based Learning
LMS | Custom Content | Mobile Learning | Online Courses
A Simulation is an “Opportunity to make decisions in a real situation without the
fear of failure”. How about testing your ERP or any software product in live real
time scenario, being fearless of committing mistakes, this is a simulation
environment meant for learning, although, the system is well supported with
guided and non-guided parameters to ensure that your learning is going the
right way. Scenario-based learning is designed to put learners in a situation or
context, introduce them to the issues and challenges in that context, and gives
them an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills relevant to the situation.

We use ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluate) Instructional Design Model
to help our clients analyze their training needs, design and develop training materials, implement
training, and evaluate its effectiveness. Our set of project templates is based on these five phases:
Each phase is characterized by a set of activities and a project output in the form of a tangible deliverable.
The deliverable for one phase is the input for the next. Each phase also culminates in a review , which
forms a go/no-go point for deciding whether to proceed to the next phase or not.
