Oh Deer, Christmas is here
Nine Reindeer Tips to Boost Your Learning Strategy
As we gear up for the festive season, it’s the perfect time to boost your learning strategy with reindeer-inspired tips!
Dasher
Speed Matters in Modern Learning
One of the toughest challenges for learning professionals is capturing and holding the learners’ attention. The culprit? Long and unengaging courses that don’t fit into the busy schedules of today’s workforce. Your learners are constantly dashing from one task to the next, so you’ll need to embrace bite-sized, on-the-go content through microlearning. Our Instructional Designers are professionals at designing content that delivers quick, impactful lessons that learners can absorb in short bursts that are accessible - even on the busiest of days!
Dancer
Add Flair to Your Training
Not all eLearning content is created equal. To truly engage with your learner you need more than just information, you'll need a hook to incentivise your learners and a little storytelling! Much like a dancer brings life to music, our developers and instructional designers transform learning from something learners have to do into something they want to do. With thoughtful design and engaging eLearning, we make your content both memorable and impactful. So, don’t settle for any less.
Prancer
Prance Into the Future with Global Learning
In a large, global organisation, multi-language support is more than a feature, it’s essential. We make localisation simple, translating any content (whether developed by us, other vendors, or your own team) and we manage the entire process from start to finish across all training types and languages. You can even prance further into the future by embracing AI-powered translation alongside our native-speaking linguists, ensuring quick, consistent, and cost-effective localisation. Together, we’ll make your content global!
Vixen
Command Your Creativity with Vixen-Like Confidence
Feel empowered to do it yourself with an enterprise-grade content authoring tool. FLOWSPARKS allows you to make credible eLearning quickly, without requiring expertise in instructional design, visual design or technical development. If you want to add a Vixen-like sizzle to your content, our team offers additional graphic support crafting bespoke assets and resources to enhance your module development. Everything we make is bespoke and makes your learning look fantastic.
Comet
Launch your Learning with Custom Design
Creating engaging content is only half the journey, to truly succeed you’ll need to make sure it’s easy to find. There’s no point in having engaging eLearning if people can’t find it. Our UX/UI team specialise in making platforms like Docebo shine by creating beautiful and intuitive Docebo designs. We work exclusively in Docebo, so we are experts in using both native functionality and non-native workarounds to make your vision a reality. With bespoke HTML and CSS enhancements, we’ll align your platform with your brand and ensure your learning content stands out. Just like a comet blazing through the sky, we can boost your platform’s engagement with more visibility.
Cupid
Create a Love for Learning
Build a love for learning by creating communities on your platform. Docebo Communities lets you create powerful social communities that are driven by user-generated content. This allows your learners to connect, collaborate and spread knowledge. Much like Cupid spreads connection, your learning culture should do the same. Our expert Docebo consultants are passionate about helping you create this kind of learning environment. We'll work with you to design a long-term strategy that celebrates growth and builds a culture of learning. When learning feels meaningful then we know engagement soars.
Donner
Don’t Panic with Reliable Data Migration
If you’re switching LMS platforms or consolidating data from multiple sources, our data migration services ensure your transition is seamless and efficient. We understand that moving data can be daunting, but with our expertise, you’ll experience a smooth process that keeps operations running without a hitch. In Dutch Donner stands for “thunder” but our comprehensive approach means transfer is a breeze, minimising any disruption to your business. Trust us to deliver accurate results, letting you focus on what matters most: delivering great learning.
Blitzen
Keep the Energy High in Your Learning Strategy
Launching great content is just the beginning. To keep engagement you’ll need to create a buzz and actively promote it! Learners aren’t logging in to check for updates, they need a reason to come back. We recommend using notifications to keep your audience in the loop and excited for what’s next or regularly refreshing your content will keep it relevant. With a learning environment as lively and dynamic as Blitzen, you’ll keep your audience engaged and eager to learn more! With our expert Consultants by your side, we’ll work together on a long-term strategy to embed Docebo within your organisation and keep your platform evolving.
Rudolph
Leading the Way to Success in Learning
Just like Rudolph lights the path for Santa’s sleigh, effective leaders shine brightly when guiding their teams. When your leaders are aligned with your L&D vision, they can inspire their teams. We recommend empowering your leaders by granting them greater access with Docebo’s Power User functionality, enabling them to take ownership and actively contribute to the platform’s success. And if you need expert support to set this up, we can be your lead reindeer, going beyond typical help desk services. This support is sleeves rolled up, working directly in your system on your behalf. We aim to feel like a genuine extension of your team by helping you to understand your goals and support you in delivering them.

A look back at Learning DevCamp 2017
A look back at Learning DevCamp 2017
Hannah, our Lead eLearning Developer, shares her highlights from the Learning DevCamp 2017 conference.
Held in Salt Lake City, Learning DevCamp (2017) is an eLearning conference dedicated to discussing instructional design theory and authoring tools for eLearning developers across the globe.
As the Lead eLearning Developer at GuyKat Solutions, I was lucky enough to experience the conference again this year, along with my fellow eLearning Developer (and friend) Zoe Hall. Just over a week ago we set off on the 15-hour journey from Birmingham (UK) to beautiful Utah, with high expectations of a great week.
The conference is set over four days. The focus is on eLearning professionals sharing and learning best practices. Whenever I attend DevCamp, it's always refreshing to find many L&D experts challenging the way online training has to be delivered. There shall be no more boring "click and read" training! This year, there were two innovative concepts that stood out. Firstly, Augmented Reality and the possibilities it can lend to supplement training design. Secondly, bite-size training - sometimes referred to as SHOTs - to provide precise and painless training.
Learning DevCamp also boasts some great industry speakers and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing from experts such as Kevin Siegel, Jennie Ruby, Joe Ganci, Nick Floro and the founder of DevCamp, Jason Bickle (to name only a few). A highlight from our week was discovering the new features and capabilities of Adobe Captivate 2017, the authoring tool that we use in-house. Whenever software upgrades become available, we pride ourselves on taking the plunge early on.
A personal highlight for me was reconnecting with some old friends and meeting some new ones. It was great to enjoy dinner (and a spontaneous hike up the Salt Lake Hills) with some energetic and creative people from the eLearning world. There is nothing quite like a sunset in Utah.
Overall, at GuyKat we always aim to make our eLearning engaging and exciting, so attending a conference like this enables us to stay ahead of industry trends and helps us to learn more about how to improve our eLearning modules for the future. I would highly recommend this conference for anyone who is involved in the L&D industry and has the desire to learn about online training. It really is a great way to gain expertise.
