Adding a new course to a Learning Plan | The Impact - the discussion continues

Evening,There was a thread that started to answer a question, and it actually helps me to understand how to handle “severe” structural changes for a SCORM course when I should consider hiding and showing training material related to a course.@lrnlab described a model where he hides the older training material and adds a brand new training material to the system - thus preserving the older completion data...this is neat and will definitely serve its purpose to help us manage learning objects moving forward.BUT I am curious - we were thinking of leveraging a learning plan that we slowly add courses to it so that we trickle a curriculum. Admittedly, the content is actually not ready for the courses as of yet, the roadmap for said courses is in good shape (pretty much)….so in theory we can lock up course shells until it is available.That said - has anyone slowly added courses to Learning Plans overtime? What was the implication to the Learning Plan? Did it change back to in process when a

Most used browsers July 2022 - a graph and open conversation

This image comes from one of the many marketing companies that monitor browser usage across the internet. Where I love that we are here? For folks that made strides in the industry in the 2010’s? We took a beating to get here.Here are some plain facts about this - but would love to hear you add any thoughts.- Chrome used to be called a consumer browser. Some may still say that. But two out of the three most popular used browsers are based on Chromium today.- Safari is still based on WebKit…and is popular because of the Apple brand and those millions of iPhones that are out there.- At least in my industry folks are still consuming eLearning today more at their desktops with a little less that 6% consuming from their phones.- The death of Adobe flash left scars on many in our industry with a full EOL in late 2020 (honestly browsers were moving us earlier away from supporting flash based eLearning).. But it has been a breath of fresh air to be working with HTML 5 as a ubiquitous format fo

Need a hand - please vote up - the modal popup idea

Most folks are doing calls to action on their own pages using widgets - but modal popup windows can be extremely helpful for all sorts of experiences. So I started an idea.Just making sure everyone knows what I mean? A modal popup or box is an overlay experience in an application in the shape of a window. In the older application days (and it is still used honestly) a web developer would make a whole new window. Because of more modern design and CSS, we can make a div give a similar experience. If you think a picture is worth a thousand words, take a spin over to https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_modals.asp and press the Open Modal button. Or just take a peek here...We so need something like this that we can control….Many times we have applications that can dismiss those modal windows after a user clicks an ok button….and not stress the user experience for return customers. Other ones force the popup to be persistent (as in it would be something that you cannot dismiss).Wouldn’

NEW Community Roundtable on June 17th

Docebo Community, go ahead and block your calendars and let’s get together!  Friday, June 17, 202210:30 am to 12:00 pm ET@dklinger and I would like to facilitate a community roundtable with a focus on sharing ideas in the Community and voting them up. Do you have an idea you’ve added that could use some more love? Bring it! Have you seen someone else’s idea that you loved and want to express that love in the form of getting others to upvote it? Bring it! Do you have an new idea that no one else has submitted. Guess what. I want you to go submit that idea and then bring it! This event is for anyone able to attend, and the concept is simple: Quickly, share an idea from the community for an audience of participants that can go in right then and help upvote an idea. The only thing we need is you and your ideas. The more of you that attend, then more ideas to share, then more voters to vote, then the louder the customer voice, and more opportunities for more improvements that benefit the ma

Does Docebo Community (and Knowledge Base) translate

We are looking at going global and need to think about how we support training with global regions if we allow them to create their own course catalogs/courses…  Can we lean on Docebo’s Community, Knowledge Base, and University?

Best Practices for Proactive System Management

As a system administrator, I often get bogged down in responding to issues instead of taking a more proactive approach for preventing problems, but I want to change that.  What are some of your suggestions for best practices around ongoing system maintenance?  Here are a few that I thought of:Ensure that data feeds are running smoothly.  Review error logs and work with appropriate parties to resolve issues. Follow up on outstanding tickets. Regularly review user information for the following: Missing data  Duplicate user profiles Admin Accounts – Review admin accounts to confirm that admin level access is still warranted.  Power Users – Review power user access to ensure that permissions are appropriate for the User’s role.

Selling subscription to the LMS

I would like to know if anyone is selling subscription “access” to their LMS platform. I know Docebo can be set up to sell courses and catalogs but we want to actually sell an annual subscription to the platform itself and all the content within. We have courses but our real value is in our content - hundreds of resources to be used by teachers in the classroom. Most users come for the content, not necessarily the courses. Here’s a little more background. Our users are school districts and afterschool providers that use our content to learn about SEL and how to implement it in their classroom or program, and get tools and resources to use with kids. Currently we use a “direct sales” model and new users are added/imported manually with their expiration date. The annual subscription/renewal is all handled outside the system manually. We’d like to implement a SaaS- like subscription model where we sell various levels of access for an annual subscription fee - like organization access (wit

Workaround for the depreciated Web Conference Widget?

I am playing around with how an onboarding plan is set up, and one of the features of a proposed onboarding plan is to have live events scheduled to supplement the e-learning content that is being delivered.My first thought went to the Web Conferencing widget, but I realized it was depreciated, or being depreciated, so we can no longer use it.  I know that the VILT course type is set up to support all training material types, but the problem with the layout of the VILT is that it puts the emphasis on the live session (which in most situations, that should be the case).  In our use case, we want to put the emphasis on the e-learning materials and have the sessions secondary to the content because the users are not required to attend a specific session.So my question to you all is, were you using the web conference widget and have you done some sort of work around for this?Also, if you weren’t using the widget, and have some ideas, please feel free to post below!

Hello good peeps. We still have more seats available for the community roundtable event. Seems like we are below a true community quorum?

Has anyone here used Doodly for creating eLearning assets?I am curious to know what you think of it.The $67 one-time fee deal (vs $468/year) seems too good to be true but I would consider it if others have had positive results.

Is there a way to do any special effects when a user completes a course, beyond a notification?

On our current custom LMS we have confetti fall from the top of the browser window when a user completes a course. I’ve experienced it myself and its surprisingly motivating and fun! Is there any way to do something like this in Docebo?

How do you track metrics with gamification?

We’re looking at getting more serious with using gamification to increase engagement, and I’m wondering how others have measured success with gamification. Are you keeping track of the number of badges earned in a certain period? Are you using surveys? How are you able to measure your success?

Anyone build a group criteria that says if the person does not have these statuses with a Learning Plan?

I am used to mapping in a group because a person has been enrolled in a learning plan. Has anyone had luck to help filter out people that would be part of a “duplicate, snapshot” learning plan.The use case is we have a contingent workforce that are working with us on a work order basis (and not a new employee /.term basis) - a person can have multiple work orders throughout the year and come and go….so I want to avoid deploying a n LP to a person that has already taken an equivalent “snapshot” learning plan .The two LPs actually have the same learning objects - so that makes it easy - and the records are kind of clean - but if I can filter folks from the group side of the story? Then I believe I can avoid enrolling them again if they already took the content in question.So by them not taking an LP or having these statuses with an LP? It is one of the pieces that will contribute to eligibility moving forward.

A catalog of courses, that can't be a course yet

I see this idea was put up quite a while ago. What are you all doing for this challenge?Imagine you have effectively a catalog of topics/courses offered on location for customers. The date and location isn’t set until interest is expressed. So, no sessions can be created. This is not an ecommerce thing, the customers are internal. How do your customers tell you what they want so you can create the sessions or maybe even a new course for their people to self enroll?Do you use Docebo for that, or outside processes?

Managing channels

Over in the Products Tips and Tricks @Danyel posted an interesting question about channels vs catalogs and that got me thinking about channels.  We love channels. We love channels so much, I think we have too many channels. It’s overwhelming. And my team is always saying can we have channel for this and a channel for that and of course the answer is yes! So we make more channels. Having said that, I also would say that we don’t really have any unnecessary channels that are just fluff or redundant so I just need to find a better way of serving them up to the users without them having to scroll and scroll and scroll and end up getting overwhelmed. I don’t know maybe it’s not a problem for most people. Aren’t we all used to doing that anyway with our own TV channels and streaming services every day? I’d definitely be interested in hearing if anyone else has that feeling or has a great solution for keeping all their content organized.
