COMING SOON TO THE SKILLSOFT PERCIPIO PLATFORM
REIMAGINED LEARNER EXPERIENCE
The New Learner Experience will initially be released on June 28, during an exclusive Admin Preview period designed to give you early access [JH1] and ample preparation time.
Why These Changes?
Our vision for the Skillsoft experience is to deliver the following:
- Personalized Learning: Tailored, easy-to-find content that meets individual needs.
- Engaging Experiences: Sequenced learning paths and intuitive design to delight learners and encourage repeat visits.
- Customer-Centric Design Principles: Utilizing established design standards and generative AI to surface practice-based learning, to help you meet your business objectives and grow your company skills.
We crafted these improvements to ensure learners have a seamless, engaging, and effective learning experience. These changes will significantly enhance learner satisfaction and outcomes.
What to Expect:
ADMIN PREVIEW PERIOD (JUNE 28 – AUGUST 4):
During this period, you can explore the new navigation and refreshed design using a toggle within the Skillsoft Percipio platform. This feature allows you to switch between the current and new experiences, enabling you to:
- Familiarize yourself with the enhancements.
- Update any necessary documentation.
- Prepare your learners for a smooth transition.
FULL ROLLOUT (AUGUST 4):
On this date, we will remove the Admin Preview toggle and enable the New Learner Experience for all users, ensuring that your entire organization benefits from the improved interface and functionalities.
We look forward to your feedback and are confident these enhancements will significantly improve engagement and learning outcomes.
