Mazda Motors of America
2009 RX-8 New Product Introduction
Mazda USA called upon piXvfm to create this video-driven course that identifies new equipment and systems on the 2009 RX-8.
By combining live video of vehicle components, technician procedures, 3D animation, motion graphics, and stills, the program walks the learner through changes to the vehicle’s engine, lubrication system, transmission, body electrical, and diagnosis of Controller Area Network (CAN).
Robust navigation tools such as topic menus, progress bar, and playback controls allow the learner to easily step through and replay sections. Closed captioning allows for greater access to program content.
Program progress information can be saved if the learner chooses to stop and resume the program later. Knowledge checks at the completion of the program require a score of at least 80% to advance, and prepare the learner for the certification exam in the Mazda LMS platform. -

Electrical
In this 2-part in-dealer training program, we find a Master Technician explaining the basics of electrical principles to a technician struggling with an electrical problem. By combining live video of the actors with 3D animation, piXvfm simplifies the subject of automotive electricity by giving Technicians a more "visual" experience. As the actors walk out onto a virtual train set, the Master Tech explains that electricity can only flow in a continuous loop, much like the train cars going around the track.
Through this award-winning technique, the program teaches technicians to identify components used in automotive circuits, describe the basics of electrical principles, and explain how electrical circuits and their components operate. -
Toyota Collision
Body Electrical Repair
piXvfm partnered with Instructional Designers from the Collision Repair & Refinish group at the University of Toyota to produce a multi-instructional, two-day Body Electrical Diagnosis & Repair course for Toyota Collision Repair Technicians and T-TEN Students (offered through community and technical colleges).
The online pre-course instruction featured animation, graphics and still photography, step-thru real-world diagnostic scenarios, and hands-on, interactive activities testing electrical circuits with a virtual DMM and draggable probes. Knowledge checks after each section prepare the learner for the certification exam in the Toyota LMS platform. Robust navigation tools such as topic menus, progress meter, and playback controls allow the learner to easily step through and replay the lessons. Voiceover closed captioning allows for greater access to program content. -
Honda / Acura
Service Advisors' Job
American Honda Motor Co. chose piXvfm to write and produce The Service Advisor's Job for the Honda and Acura Interactive Networks. This 60-minute e-learning program combined video with still photography to convey basic skills and responsibilities of the job to Honda Service Advisors and Acura Service Consultants in dealerships nationwide.
piXvfm mixed lessons with entertaining ‘real world' video scenarios in four key service transaction steps to reinforce learning of the most essential job skills. Learners watch ‘bad practice' scenarios and answer a series of questions before viewing ‘best practice' videos to reinforce lessons. Honda LMS-integrated bookmarking functionality allows students to stop and resume the program as needed. .piXvfm produced two versions of the course to cater to Honda- and Acura-specific branding and messaging. -

Kia Motors America
Optima New Model Online Training
piXvfm has created a variety of online technical and new model training programs for Kia Motors America. This example was part of an extensive course on the new Optima.
For the online component, we used some existing graphic elements combined with a 360° view of the new Optima. The training allows the learner to investigate the new features of the Optima, rather than a linear tutorial about the vehicle. The result: an engaging and informative tool for learning that allows the learners to move through the information at their own pace. -
