Modern form of education



Digitized education can increase the effectiveness of training and prove the sustainability of the acquired knowledge. Complementing successfully established training channels, the mobile app from AKRAS Flavours educates where practice begins. It offers learning content where it is needed. In small bites for in between. Always and everywhere. Short and crisp, flexible and modular.



Microtraining per app is learning on the smartphone and in small steps. The mobile learning concept allows flexibility in terms of time and space and enables a self-directed and individualized learning experience, which - in further consequence - serves to sustainably secure knowledge. The content is presented in short and compact flashcards and videos that can be accessed anytime and anywhere. The learning progress can also be checked at any time.


Innovative education and training



The quality and continuous development of its own employees and external partners is a top priority for AKRAS Flavours in order to effectively and meaningfully increase worker‘s safety and quality of products.



In general, the question complexes are prepared in such a way that they can be processed interactively. All content is easily retrievable, can be updated quickly and scaled both externally and internally. In addition, learning progress can be monitored and learning impulses can be set where necessary.




The strategy – this is how learning works today



AKRAS Flavours uses the microtraining method for digital knowledge transfer. Here, the essence of various knowledge contents is compactly prepared and deepened through short and active learning steps. In classical learning, an algorithm is used for this purpose. The questions have to be answered in random order. If a question is answered incorrectly, it is repeated later - until it is answered correctly three times in a row in the learning unit.



In addition to classic learning, level learning is also offered. In level learning, the system divides the questions into three levels and asks them randomly. Between the individual levels, there is a breather in order to store the content in the best possible way. This is necessary to achieve a brain-friendly and sustainable acquisition of knowledge. A final test makes the learning progress visible and shows where possible deficits lie and, if necessary, a repetition makes sense.




Learning stimuli through quizzes and/or learning duels



At AKRAS Flavours, corporate training should be combined with fun. The playful learning approach is implemented through the possibility of quiz duels. Colleagues, managers or even external partners can be challenged to a duel. This makes learning even more entertaining. The following game mode is possible: Three rounds of 3 questions each determine who is the king of knowledge.
