Dynamic Publishing and Hosting

The Convey dynamic publishing and hosting service enables the Customer to provide this content to its end users in three ways.

1. Formal structured self-study learning programs with completion tracking – Instead of publishing SCORM packages and uploading them into the LMS manually, the Customer publishes these courses to the Convey dynamic publishing and hosting service then connects the Conveyhosted content into its LMS for launching and tracking. When changes or edits are required, the updated content is republished to Convey and is instantly available for launching from the LMS. The customer does not need to upload new SCORM packages into the LMS for updates.
2. Informal access to structured self-study learning programs – The client publishes the exact same courses to Convey as Public Share Links (instead of SCORM) to instantly create website versions. The automatically generated URL links can then be posted any place they are needed. Content updates are also automatically available as soon as they are ready.
3. Just-in-time access to information and answers when end users are working in the software tool, in the flow of their work – The Customer team publishes its Knowledge Base project to Convey as a Public Share Link to create an instant website. The automatically generated URL can then be posted any place it is needed. Recently the Customer team embedded the Knowledge Base URL right within its software interface under its Help menu item to enable the Knowledge Base to be an inline help and performance support feature within the software itself.

Results

Before moving to dominKnow | ONE, Discover’s training revolved around standard eLearning courses, PowerPoint participants guides, and leaders’ guides maintaining a trifecta of content for each one of their independent courses for both self-paced and in-person sessions. They also used job aids as supplemental material to distribute within the classroom.

Discover understands that starting a new role can be exciting and overwhelming for their Learners. They assist learners in getting acclimated to Discover’s compliance standards, policies, and procedures through their well-structured onboarding programs designed in dominKnow | ONE. They provide employees with the necessary tools, resources, and knowledge to perform their duties confidently while adhering to the policies and procedures.

Their training doesn’t stop at onboarding. They recognize the importance of continuous upskilling to keep their employees well informed and equipped with the latest insights and best practices.

“With dominKnow | ONE we can roll out short-term quick on-the-go trainings to keep the employees updated on that best practices and collectively with our employees navigate the complexities of the regulatory landscape that exists in the banking industry today and make sure that we’re still adhering to our business goals.” Leslie Ropelato, Lead Training and Development Specialist, Discover

With the transition to dominKnow | ONE, Discover witnessed a remarkable transformation. They were able to migrate the legacy content smoothly unto dominKnow | ONE. Collaboration with dominKnow helped them migrate content in place and allowed them to have consistent learning across the organization.

“Gone are the days where our designers were maintaining multiple versions the trifecta of classroom content. Our facilitators are also able to use the same courses making sure that they have clarity and unity across the course and their classes within our organization.” Leslie Ropelato, Lead Training and Development Specialist, Discover

Before, a designer would have one project that they owned and the accessibility for another designer to step in and possibly edit the content was not easy. The ability to collaborate with dominKnow | ONE has boosted Discover’s flexibility and enhanced the quality of trainings and streamlined the review and feedback process.

“dominKnow | ONE empowered us to create an agile design process allowing multiple designers to collaborate and edit projects efficiently.” Leslie Ropelato, Lead Training and Development Specialist, Discover

Discover’s shared lessons and single source content approach with dominKnow | ONE has been a game changer. It not only saves them precious design time in the initial creation phase but also when performing quick updates. Eliminating redundant work to update content in more than one place. One edit reflects across all relevant courses.

“In our library we have courses that are shared over a hundred times or pieces of content shared over a hundred times in various courses. dominKnow’s single-source authoring makes it quick, easy, and efficient for our designers to get those updates out on regulatory changes and system enhancements to our employees.” Leslie Ropelato, Lead Training and Development Specialist, Discover

Once the changes are made, Discover can do a quality review quicker than before reducing the design cycle time. Thanks to Convey they no longer have to involve other teams, such as an LMS administrator, to publish content. Now, with dominKnow | ONE the team can one-click the publish button and the learner sees those changes immediately.

dominKnow | ONE’s branching feature allows designers to create one project for multiple audiences. This supports an agile way of working, reduces redundant design, and ensures learners receive accurate content across all audiences.

“Branching has allowed us to take similar or like content and create it in one seamless course of a container, making it one project that we have to update and maintain. As soon as learners select their role [in the course], the content is dynamically enhanced based on the line of business or the role they selected. We can take like content with only similar or minor changes and package it in one single course, which also is a drain from a design perspective and maintenance and update. Not only that, but we can make sure consistent messaging on like content is delivered consistently across all employees.”

Using dominKnow | ONE Discover developed Dynamic micro learning templates centered around specific desired job skills. Within the first six months they were able to scale these templates over 200 job skilled micro learning deliverables into their platform.

This allowed Discover to cater to learner groups seeking:

1. comprehensive skill sets
2. pre-learning for certain types of certification
3. even upskilling for future job roles that exist within the company

Discover also created simulations using Capture. Capture allowed Discover to create short-term linear simulations embedded into existing content, standalone content, published as a refresher, a quick learning nugget, or enhancement.

As a result, dominKnow | ONE allowed Discover to story tell and provide real-life examples that resonate and engage their learners thorough job aids and infographics.

Overall, the Discover team has made vast improvements to the way they deliver content to their learners resulting in easier adoption and content being retained while on the job.
