NEW SOLUTIONS TO HELP YOU MEASURE AND REINFORCE LEARNING

We continually release new features and enhancements based on your feedback and ideas. We want to call out a few noteworthy items for you here. You can review the complete list of changes in the March Release Notes.

CLOSING THE SKILLS GAP STARTS HERE | NEW! SKILL BENCHMARKS 
Organizations need an objective way to measure their people's current skills and a simple way to translate those measurements into targeted recommendations for each employee. That's what Skill Benchmark diagnostic assessments are for. Every question within a Skill Benchmark is tied to a specific learning objective defined by subject-matter experts. When an employee answers a question correctly, you can be confident they're demonstrating practical expertise in their domain. When an employee answers a question incorrectly, they know precisely how to close their skills gaps.

With Skill Benchmarks, you get a clear understanding of where your employees stand and how they can master the skills your company needs.

HELP LEARNERS GET THE MOST OUT OF THEIR NEW SKILLS THROUGH REINFORCEMENT
Without proper reinforcement, we forget 90% of knowledge gained within one month, according to German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus's famous research in 1885. So, to help your learners keep their hard-earned knowledge, Skillsoft is rolling out a new feature called Learning Reinforcement — exclusive to the Percipio mobile app. Learning Reinforcement automatically presents information to your learners over spaced intervals and uses flashcards to help them remember what they learned. Learning Reinforcement gives you a fresh way to help learners get the most out of their newly acquired skills and capabilities.

A MORE SOCIAL AND FLEXIBLE LEARNING EXPERIENCE | MULTIPLE AND SHAREABLE PLAYLISTS
Skillsoft Percipio's improved playlist experience enables your learners to organize and rearrange content however they choose, in as many playlists as they desire. To promote collaborative and social learning, your employees may also share playlists with their teammates and peers as they see fit. PLEASE NOTE: Any content saved in your learners' existing playlist will automatically move to a new list called Saved for later. 

Not sure sharing is right for your organization? That's okay. Site admins can disable "Sharing of Content and Playlists" under Site Configuration.   


TRACK ALL LEARNING EXPERIENCES IN ONE PLACE
Your employees may now track learning activities that occur outside of the Skillsoft Percipio platform. For example, a learner can record the information about a conference or seminar they attended within Percipio. Or perhaps one of your employees completed a video-based course or read a book aligned to their strategic development goals outside of Percipio. The new functionality allows these learners to add a record of their completion to the External Learning Activity page in Percipio — enabling learners to track all learning experiences in one place. Meanwhile, admins can download a CSV report to view all the external learning activities.  

Not sure this new functionality is right for your organization? Site admins can disable the "Add external learning" feature through Site Settings.
