This week we’ve set up a brand new page for you with ideas on how to gamify your training content in Totara. If you’re interested in fostering competition or just looking for new ways to engage your users then we’ve got some tips for you!

 

Looking for more on gamification? Sign up for Meredith Henson’s webinar on the 4th March at 15.00 GMT / 9.00 CST. Meredith will run through when to use game techniques in your training before looking at practical ways to add gamified elements to your Totara Learn courses.

Speaking of games, our recent time trial competition was so popular we’ve also set up a brand-new time trial to see who can set up a new dynamic audience the fastest. Not sure what a dynamic audience is? Don’t worry we’ve got a whole course all about the power of audiences available for you to take today! We had over 700 attempts on our last time trial, so the competition is stiff! Try it today for your best chance to appear in the top 10 on the leaderboard! We’ll provide the winner with a first-place digital badge as well as a bag of Totara goodies. Second and third places will also receive digital badges.

Upcoming webinars

Typography webinar tomorrow - 26th February at 10 AM GMT

Do you ever think about the font you use when sending out a message or creating training? For many of us, the font we use is only ever an afterthought. But every time we write a piece of text the font plays a role in defining how a message is interpreted. If you’ve struggled to decide which font to use, or even if you’ve never thought about a font’s impact then join Totara's Visual Design Lead Matt Stokes for some insight into a little bit of the history and background of typography and discover how your font choice can help make your communication more effective!

Personalising SCORM content

Is it possible to personalise training so that when a user accesses a SCORM activity the screen is personalised to them? That’s a question that was raised in the Community last week. Totara Academy’s Jordan Ash has replied to show how this could be done. If you’re curious how to do this or you’ve got experience doing just this then why not join the conversation?
