iorad produces six training formats from a single capture: an interactive click-through tutorial for learners who learn by doing, a step-by-step article with annotated screenshots for learners who read, a video for learners who watch, and a PDF for learners who want a printable reference.
#1: Try: Interactive, hands-on mode. Users must follow the steps and visual prompts to advance.
#2: View: Self-paced equivalent of a slide show.
#3: Watch: Self-advancing video format.
#4: Print/Pdf: Portrait or landscape.
#5: Do: In-app Mode! Users perform the tutorial in the actual platform environment.
#6: Quiz Mode: Interactive, hands-on mode. All of the directions are there, but the user must perform the steps without the visual prompting of the Try It Mode.
Every learner on your team gets the format that works for them, without your training team recording, writing, and editing separately for each one. One iorad recording covers every learning style automatically, and all four formats update simultaneously when the underlying process changes
Everyone has a preference when it comes to learning. Some like to read, some like to watch, others learn by doing, and so on. Your ability to adapt to these learning styles has a direct effect on how well your information is retained and recalled. For some, this poses a challenge. Choose one style to save time creating content and hope it applies to the majority. Or spend way more time catering content to each style in exchange for better overall engagement.
Why Multi-Format Training Matters for Learning Outcomes
Forcing all learners through the same format introduces a friction point: learners who don't match the format are less likely to complete the training. A visual learner who's handed a 12-page text manual and a kinesthetic learner who's told to watch a video are both working against their natural preferences.
iorad removes the need to choose one format because the same recording generates all four simultaneously. Learners self-select into the format that helps them learn most effectively. The instructor doesn't have to know each learner's preference in advance and doesn't have to produce multiple versions of the same content.
For L&D teams, this matters for a practical reason beyond learning theory: it reduces the time required to produce training that reaches your entire audience, regardless of how they prefer to learn.
This is one of the main reasons why iorad exists today. With our tutorials, you don't have to account for learning styles anymore, we do it for you. Just create a tutorial once and iorad automatically replicates it in a variety of different modes like Try, Watch, Quiz, and more! This gives your learners the power to choose how they interact with your content without costing you any additional time. Try out each learning style here.
