What’s New in Skyllful Simulator: more learner-friendly features

Lesson Search 🔎

The most significant learner experience improvements include the introduction of universal search capabilities within Simulator, so learners can find content quickly – when and where they need it. With Skyllful's new Simulator search functionality, learners can:

• Access search from anywhere within Simulator
• Easily search for lesson content by keyword
• Get a thumbnail description of lesson details from search results
• View recent searches for fast access to previously searched topics
• Use search functionality in offline mode

Separate tabs for Lesson Assignments and Reference

Learners can easily distinguish between time-based courses and on-demand content for support

Auto-advance to the next uncompleted lesson

Learners can seamlessly pick up where they left off in a module

Improved sorting of learning courses

In-progress courses will appear first, followed by completed courses

What’s New in Skyllful Studio: easier content creation and learning program management

Storyboarding made easier.

Skyllful now provides visual storyboarding within Studio so instructional designers can easily create and view lesson steps in an intuitive way. Storyboarding also includes:

• The ability to create video storyboards and transcripts with AI-generated voice-overs for individual lesson steps
• The ability to upload screenshot images for each lesson step within a storyboard, which can be used for AI-drive replica creation in the forthcoming Replica Maker

Expanded Assignment Management

Instructional designers and program administrators will also notice increased assignment (formerly known as campaign) options within Studio. Studio now provides more specific admin features for new-hire assignments, such as the ability to:

• Customize training duration times by readiness groups, job roles, or individuals
• Add learners to multiple assignments at the same time (such as time-based and reference).
• Assign new lessons to multiple campaigns in one action

xAPI data integration

Skyllful now leverages xAPI to allow administrators to easily export learner data to their existing Learning Management Sytems (LMS) or Learning Record Stores (LRS). Our xAPI capabilities include the ability to:

• Configure xAPI integrations, setup and exports from within Studio
• Add and remove mapping of Skyllful events into xAPI verbs and activities
• Specify frequency of data sync between Skyllful and LMS/LRS

What’s New in IQ: improved analytics for new-hire assignments

Skyllful IQ now offers distinct and relevant analytics specific to new-hire assignments, including Overview, Curriculum and People lenses.

Additionally, IQ now has improved search functionality within IQ for new-hire assignments so managers and other stakeholders can search for and find individual learners quickly, and easily identify those learners within their reporting hierarchy.
