FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT E-LEARNING

We combine neuroscience, expert learning design, and interactive video to build courses your audience will actually remember.

TRAINING THAT ACTUALLY

CHANGES BEHAVIOUR

Interactive e-learning courses built end-to-end by scientists, storytellers, and tech-heads who know what it takes to make knowledge stick.
The problem with most e-learning isn't the technology. It's that it was never really designed to teach anyone anything. Slide decks recycled into click-through modules. Tick-box compliance courses nobody finishes. Training budgets spent on content that's forgotten within a week.
Effective learning requires three things working together: it has to be designed to work, grounded in how the brain actually processes and retains information. It has to be compelling, with storytelling and creative execution that puts your learner at the centre. And it has to be built to the highest technical standard, with interactivity that transforms passive watching into active participation.
At Rebel Rooster, we do all three under one roof, from day one. We've delivered interactive e-learning for UN agencies, international NGOs, public sector organisations, and global brands. Our courses aren't supposed to just look impressive, they get meaningful results.

OUR E-LEARNING IS TRUSTED BY:

HERE’S WHAT WE DO...

INTERACTIVE E-LEARNING THAT PUTS YOUR LEARNER IN THE DRIVING SEAT.

There's a meaningful difference between content that informs and content that changes behaviour. Here's what makes our courses different.

SCENARIO-DRIVEN STORYTELLING

We put your learner inside the story. Rather than telling them what to do, we build immersive scenarios where they make real decisions and experience the consequences. This approach, grounded in experiential learning principles, is significantly more effective at building judgement, empathy, and retention than instruction-based training.

GAMES AND INTERACTIVE CHALLENGES

Engagement isn't just about keeping people watching but instead about activating different parts of how people learn. Our interactive games are designed in collaboration with our learning specialists to reinforce the material at exactly the right moment, using visual, tactile, and problem-solving mechanisms that consolidate memory and reward effort.

SELF-PACED, ACCESSIBLE, BUILT FOR THE REAL WORLD

Engagement isn't just about keeping people watching but instead about activating different parts of how people learn. Our interactive games are designed in collaboration with our learning specialists to reinforce the material at exactly the right moment, using visual, tactile, and problem-solving mechanisms that consolidate memory and reward effort.

SCENARIO TRAINING FOR IOM

IOM (International Organisation for Migration) needed to train staff across multiple countries on housing and land rights, which is complex material with real-world stakes. We placed learners inside an interactive scenario as a field officer tasked with assessing locations for displaced migrants. Every decision they made - based on the evidence they found - had consequences for the people they were trying to help. The result was an immersive, emotionally engaging course that built genuine understanding, not just awareness.

COLLECTIVE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR UNITED NATIONS

Training a global network of agency leaders on accountability required something more than a slide deck. We built a multi-scenario interactive course where learners were placed inside different emergency response situations and challenged to make collective decisions under pressure. The course drew on real UN frameworks, was deployed across agencies globally, and is accessible on multiple agency learning management systems (LMS).

GAMIFIED LEARNING FOR HEALTH & SAFETY

For a foundational health and safety training project, we built an interactive module to introduce learners to bowtie diagrams, which are a critical risk assessment methodology that can be dense and abstract when taught conventionally. Rather than explaining the terminology through instruction, we put learners inside the process itself, guiding them step by step as they built out their own bowtie diagram, learning each element by doing it. Complex concepts became intuitive, and by the end of the module learners had constructed something themselves: which is one of the most effective ways to make technical knowledge stick.

THE SCIENCE

BEHIND THE COURSES

Most agencies build e-learning to a brief. We design for the brain.

This is what genuinely sets us apart. Before a single frame is written or a game is built, our courses are shaped by specialists who have spent their careers understanding how people learn... and why so much training fails.

THat's why our team includes

NEUROSCIENTISTS

Every course we build is consulted on by our in-house neuroscientist, who understands how learning physically shapes the brain.
From the structure of scenarios to the timing of games and the pacing of information, their input ensures we're giving learners the very best conditions for long-term memory retention and not just engagement in the moment.

SOCIAL SCIENTISTS

For projects touching on governance, humanitarian response, public policy, and institutional accountability, our social scientists help shape the content itself.

They understand the human and organisational dynamics at play in complex training environments. This ensures the course reflects the real world your learners are navigating, not a simplified version of it.

YOUNG AUDIENCE SPECIALISTS

Learning design for under-21s requires a fundamentally different approach. Our team specialises in educational content for younger audiences, understanding how adolescents and young adults engage differently, what motivates and sustains their attention, and how to build courses that respect their intelligence while meeting them where they are.
Whether we're working on employability training, civic education, or skills development for young people, our team ensures the learning experience is genuinely built for them, and not just simplified for them.

THE PRODUCTION TEAM

Rebel Rooster has been producing video for over a decade: documentary, animation, live-action, and branded content. That heritage is baked into everything we build. Every interactive course starts with a proper brief, a creative concept, a script written for screen, and a production process that treats the learner's experience with the same care as any broadcast commission.
We write, direct, film, animate, and build the interactivity ourselves. No handoffs to third parties. No brief lost in translation. One team, one creative vision, from the first conversation to the final delivery

WHO WE WORK WITH

Built for organisations where learning matters.
Our interactive e-learning courses are designed for organisations operating in complex, high-stakes environments, where training can't afford to be forgotten.
We work regularly with UN agencies and international NGOs, humanitarian and development organisations, public sector and government bodies, charities and not-for-profit organisations, and companies with serious compliance, safety, or governance training needs.
If your learners are spread across countries and cultures, if the subject matter is sensitive or complex, or if you've tried conventional e-learning and found it wanting...we're probably the right fit.

OUR CLIENTS

We’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the world’s biggest brands, and the brightest start ups. Here’s just some of the brands we’ve worked with:
Rebel Rooster helped us with our interactive tourism video campaign. When compared to our previous years' campaign, we saw a massive 500% increase in watch time and engagement up on every metric. The proof is in the numbers!

Bernadette, German Tourism

The feedback we've received on our interactive training course has been nothing short of phenomenal. People love the innovative and unique way of learning. Everyone keeps asking me who made it and I have to stop myself from keeping it a secret!

Imera, United Nations (IOM)

Any elearning company can deliver to a brief, but working with Rebel Rooster has been transformative. They really think about the user experience and how best to deliver change. I'd recommend them to anyone.

OUR AWARDS

Adding interactivity into your education videos is a sure-fire way to skyrocket engagement and boost memory recall.

When tested against traditional e-learning methods, interactive elearning videos significantly improve long term results, with participants able to learn remotely, at their own pace and actively participate in the learning.

Don’t take just our word for it though, discover some of the campaigns that have been proven to be super successful. Crew Room used interactive training videos to help teach young people the foundation of each role within the TV industry. They use interactive quizzes, education mini games, and many more features for their interactive education course. Each video covers one role, and the viewers can learn about responsibilities, meet someone in that role, or take a quiz.

When training their staff on housing and land rights, IOM put their participants into an interactive scenario training “Game”. The viewer is given the task to research three potential locations to accommodate a recent influx of migrants. Based on how they research and what evidence they find, their decision may positively or negatively impact the migrants. This is a great way of using interactive training videos to put the viewer in the shoes of someone in the role!

When training a network of agency leaders on the importance of collective accountability, the UN gave their team ‘scenarios’ for different emergencies in their interactive e-learning course. Each scenario had an impactful introduction, establishing the emergency, before then putting the viewer in the shoes of the emergency response team. They used games for each scenario to help the user learn how to incorporate ‘collective accountability’.

Big Green Egg set out on a mission to educate their resellers on everything they needed to know about the egg so they can more effectively sell it. They use interactive quizzes, memory games and get the users to choose their own delicious recipe to cook!

Sint Maarten’s Audit Chamber wanted to educate it’s constituents on how their tax money is spent. Recognising it’s not the most exciting subject matter, they created a really fun gamified world, where users are encouraged to collect ‘badges’ by taking mini quizzes and games relating to travel, procurement, citizens rights, audits and more!

E-learning Game Examples:

Incorporating minigames into your elearning can really help not just engage users but help them to retain the information by utilising visual learning, tactile learning, as well as auditory and text based. Check out our examples.

Mix-and-Match

In this game, the viewer has met 5 migrants and has to work out which human rights are at risk. Then, they have to align the risks with the relevant rights. It’s a great way of re-enforcing learning after meeting the migrants case files.

This game is inspired by the simple ‘Simon says’ game of childhood: you are told an order to put together the Big Green Egg, and you have to remember that order as you rebuild it.

 
1What makes an e-learning course interactive?
Traditional e-learning asks learners to read, watch, and click next. Interactive e-learning asks them to make decisions, solve problems, respond to scenarios, and engage with the material in ways that mirror real life. That might mean navigating a branching scenario where their choices have consequences, completing a game that reinforces a key concept, or building something themselves as they learn. The distinction matters because passive consumption and active participation produce very different outcomes, and decades of learning research backs that up. As an interactive e-learning company, everything we build is designed around participation, and not just presentation.
2How is interactive e-learning different from Articulate?
Articulate (and tools like it) is a course-building platform — it's the software many L&D teams use to assemble e-learning in-house. It can produce interactive elements, but it operates within the constraints of a template-based tool, and the quality of what it produces depends entirely on the people using it. What we do is different in almost every respect. We're not a platform: we're an end-to-end interactive e-learning company that builds bespoke courses from scratch, combining professional video production, custom-built games, and learning design informed by neuroscience and social science. The result isn't a polished template.... It's something your learners haven't seen before.
3Why is video such a big part of e-learning?
Because human beings are wired to respond to story, faces, and movement in a way that text and diagrams simply can't replicate. Video creates emotional context. It establishes stakes, builds empathy, and makes abstract concepts feel real. In a training setting, that emotional engagement is directly linked to memory retention. A learner who has watched a compelling scenario unfold, and made decisions within it, will remember that experience far longer than one who read the same information in a slide. As a training video company with a long background in documentary and branded content, we bring genuine production craft to every course we build...because how something looks and feels affects whether it lands.
4What industries do you specialise in?
Our interactive e-learning company works most frequently with humanitarian organisations and UN agencies, international NGOs, public sector and government bodies, charities, and organisations with complex compliance, governance, or safety training needs. These tend to be environments where the stakes are high, the subject matter is sensitive, and the learners are spread across multiple countries and cultures - which is exactly where our approach proves its value. That said, our interactive e-learning courses and training video work span a wide range of sectors, including health and safety, IT and information security, financial services, and retail. If the training matters, we're interested in it.
5Do your courses work with our existing LMS?
In most cases, yes. We build our courses to industry-standard specifications, including SCORM compliance, which means they can be deployed through the majority of learning management systems without any significant technical headaches. If you have specific platform requirements or a more complex technical environment, we'll explore that with you early in the process- it's the kind of thing that's much easier to plan for upfront than to retrofit later.
1How do you make sure a course is actually effective?
This is the question we're most glad people ask, because it's exactly where we differ from most interactive e-learning companies. Engagement is a means to an end... the end being genuine, lasting behaviour change. Every course we build is shaped by our in-house learning specialists, including a neuroscientist who applies evidence-based principles to course structure, pacing, and challenge design. We think carefully about cognitive load, the role of emotion in memory formation, when to introduce complexity and when to consolidate... and we build in mechanisms that require learners to actively apply what they've learned, and not just encounter it. The goal is never a completed module. It's a changed behaviour.
2What should I look for in an interactive e-learning company?
A few things that genuinely matter. First, do they understand learning — not just design? Many interactive e-learning companies are strong on aesthetics and technology but have no specialist knowledge of how people actually retain information. Second, do they produce their own video content, or are they assembling courses around stock footage and templates? The quality of the underlying media makes an enormous difference to how learners engage. Third, can they show you work in your sector, or in environments of comparable complexity? And finally — do they treat your brief as a starting point for a better solution, or just a checklist to execute against? The best results we've delivered have come from clients who gave us the problem, not just the specification.
3What is gamified e-learning and does it actually work?
Gamified e-learning incorporates game mechanics (challenges, rewards, decision trees, interactive mini-games) into the learning experience. Done well, it works for a straightforward reason: games require active participation, and active participation is one of the most reliable routes to retention. When a learner has to solve a problem, make a choice under pressure, or complete a challenge to move forward, they're encoding that experience in a fundamentally different way than if they'd simply watched it. Our games aren't decorative — each one is designed in collaboration with our learning specialists to reinforce specific content at the right moment, using the right type of challenge for the material. The result is courses that people actually finish, and actually remember.
4Do you provide analytics or reporting for interactive videos?
Yes, we offer analytics and reporting services for all of our services. We can track user interactions, engagement metrics, and other relevant data to provide insights into the performance of your interactive campaigns. This helps you measure the effectiveness of the content and make data-driven decisions for future optimizations.
