The use of characters in elearning has been proven to increase learning outcomes by more effectively engaging learners. Characters can be used to introduce and summarise courses or activities, guide learners through a course or play out complex scenarios in a realistic simulated manner and depending on how they are used they can:

• help gain and maintain the attention of your learners effectively increasing the retention of the content,
• make your course more life-like and enable learners to better relate to the narrator,
• satisfy the demands of Gen Y learners, and
• make courses less boring, more exciting and entertaining and therefore more educational.

Web Circle believe in the benefits of character-driven Elearning and have invested in a developers license for a 3D character technology called Codebaby.

Codebaby is the leading technology for developing 3D virtual characters and incorporating them into an elearning course. Codebaby borrows revolutionary technology from the film industry to create custom 3D characters, link in your own audio content and build in advanced lip syncing and character animations.

By adding a CodeBaby character to an elearning course, learning retention improves dramatically. Studies have proven that:

- interactive characters are more effective in creating an elearning environment,
- characters serve to foster trust with complex information,
- characters are intuitive and enjoyable.
