Learn more about Festo LX

Different learning formats are used on LX to make the lessons as effective and varied as possible. Festo LX offers a wide range of options for presenting and conveying learning content:

Learning videos

In our learning videos, experts present complex topics in a simple way. In the videos, current topics within the scope of technical training are explained in an easily comprehensible and practical manner, which enables fast and effective learning.

eLearning courses

Our eLearning courses are interactively designed learning content, usually using a storytelling approach, with a narrator guiding you through the course. These courses are particularly suitable as an introduction to new topics and provide a high-level overview. Best of all, all you need to complete the courses is a tablet, laptop or smartphone with an internet connection.

eLab courses

Our eLab courses offer a wide range of hardware-related learning content, taught either through the use of Festo Didactic equipment or simulation software. The courses include multiple exercises selected by an instructor based on required learning outcomes. Our associated training systems are required to complete the courses. Our eLab courses are designed to put previously learned theoretical knowledge to the test with practical tasks.

Guides

Our guides contain detailed tutorials on commissioning or troubleshooting. Detailed guides in particular contain valuable recommendations for using the digital courses on Festo LX in your own lessons.

Evaluations

Our learning outcome assessments are used to check prior knowledge or learner progress on a particular topic. A predefined questionnaire is used for this purpose, which must be completed in a certain amount of time and requires a certain number of correctly answered questions to pass. These values are set by the instructors to adjust the difficulty level accordingly.
