Teacher / Learner Format

Mobile-Friendly

NOT Your Ordinary Boring Online

Training Courses!

Learn What You Want, When You

Want, thanks to our mobile-friendly video courses.

Bigger Brains unique Teacher/

Learner format is based on scientific
research into what makes training
both engaging AND effective.
In a typical eLearning course, a
teachers voice is heard lecturing
over slides or a screen recording.
Research shows that users struggle
to stay engageed with material
when presented in this approach.
Instead all Bigger Brains courses
are filmed in a studio, with two
people on camera - a Teacher, and
a Learner. Having an on-screen
Learner as a proxy for the viewing
student allows opportunities
for dialogue, interrogation, and
humor, all of which help to convey
information AND keep the students
focused on the material.
The Power Of Bigger Brains
Courses Is In What You Take With
You And Apply In Real Life
Bigger Brains courses combine
the most effective instructors with
the latest advances in learning
methodology to create courses
that are uniquely engaging, and
life-changingly effective.

All Bigger Brains courses are shot in

gorgeous HD video but packaged
in our special responsive, HTML5based SCORM modules so theyll
work great on any iPhone, iPad,
Android phone, or similar mobile
device.

Words From Our Clients:

format of the videos. It is simple

...takes a novel approach to computer learning and does strive to

learning project.
I like the concept a lot, I think this
is a great way to learn.
The material is great...and is
