Their unique graphical layout enables learners to interact with challenging content in a visual, easy-to-use environment. Additionally, because The Brooks Group creates custom products for each client it serves, our eZines reflect your organization’s branded elements and style, allowing them to seamlessly co-exist alongside other learning offerings. eZines can include quizzes, robust multimedia content, and roll-up analytics for a high-level look at your workforce’s comprehension levels.

The Brooks Group’s professional video development team manages all aspects of the production process, including scripting, storyboarding, state-of-the-art green screen or on-location capture of high-definition video, capture of studio-quality audio, instructional overlays, production-grade sound effects and music, and fully custom 3D animations. vLearning modules are available via web browsers, and they may be viewed and downloaded at workstations or on mobile devices.
