In May 2016, IT services firm Atos and McGraw-Hill Education Learning Science Platforms entered into a partnership to transform Atos
Codex sales training (originally a webinar) into a dynamically personalized experience allowing learners to progress at their own pace and
in a way best suited for their skill, background and learning style.
Powered by adaptive technology, learning data is now used to personalize every learner’s experience, so that it adapts in real-time to their
behavior and performance. Immediate benefits include greater training efficiency, improved engagement, and reduced content versioning.

Early engagement with adaptive technology is promising
“Good introduction
to Codex. Helped
me understand the
concept.”
“Simply “FANTASTIC”! A
few weeks ago when I took
it I didn’t quite get the
concept of how the
adaptive learning process
worked. Didn’t understand
why I was getting questions
before having been
presented the material.
Now, I understand and I
really love the approach.”
“It was great and if I
forgot something; it
was easy to go back
in the course and
review the material for
that section.”
“The questions and case studies were
excellent – really helped to test my
knowledge.”
“The course is well-
structured and the material
was fitting to the learning
objectives.”
”I really like this
training format and
the fact that you
can do the
refresher training is
very helpful.”
“Overall experience was good.
The slides were crisp and neat
and the transcript is a good
feature.”
