Cool! Will try this today. Thanks for detailed steps 😉
Couple of years ago we built mini training modules (we called them trainettes) that were injected into the technical repair info for VW and Audi repair technicians. It was cross referenced to the applicable repair info so they could get quick 4 min training on the specific topic. Worked very well.
After that I’ve held that small, ondemand, in workflow training will be the future. The retention is higher as they apply the info immediatly to modify their work performance. Information fatigue is low as they are small bite sized pieces. Excited to see it coming to IT.
