Abstract:

EPLAN GmbH & Co. KG (as brand name in the spelling EPLAN) is a global software company that develops Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) software and services for the optimization of engineering processes. As with many companies in recent years, including EPLAN, the development of a comprehensive, sustainable, eLearning-based international training concept began in the COVID-19 period, although the idea had existed for a long time. Within 6 months, the company developed 600 learning contents in 14 languages and two standards, fully localized (including audio and text), for both industrial and educational clients, whereby the education customers were divided by target groups of educators and students. They developed their own LMS system, feedback system and much more. This paper presents how this mammoth project came about and what the results were. The project has meanwhile been awarded the eLearning Award 2024 by the eLearning Journal Germany.
