In complex partner networks, channel or branch structures, it is difficult to address the target group directly. Geographical distances and language barriers make communication even more difficult.

In organizations, teams, or departments, individuals with varying levels of expertise, prior knowledge, and experience converge, necessitating a customized approach. Workshops or webinars, the conventional training methods, frequently fall short of their intended effect in such situations.

Classical teaching approaches exhibit low sustainability, as what is learned is quickly forgotten (Forgetting Curve). In particular, conventional e-learning formats often lack a way to effectively measure learning success.

Enthusiasm for training and education is often limited. Heterogeneous prior knowledge compounds this problem because individual participants are either overwhelmed or bored. There is also a loss of productivity due to absence during training.

QFIVE reaches all participants regardless of their organization, prior knowledge, or geographic location. The tournament is multilingual and anonymous, so each participant can choose their own learning pace and timing, while still being fully engaged in the tournament.

The game-based approach of the Online Tournament ensures that knowledge is automatically refreshed or reinforced. The online library offers learning material that caters to different learning styles.

Using the well-established Lindner principle (flashcards), learned knowledge is reinforced by regularly repeating it. Participant engagement and knowledge is measured through a practical exam format.

The tournament’s competitive atmosphere encourages participants to be intrinsically motivated, like being curious, gaining recognition, or achieving goals. Additionally, extrinsic motivators such as attractive prizes reinforce this motivation.
