What does it have for Admin?

Let’s see the developed features for the admins that are available while creating the program. These are available under the Learning Journey Level.

Program Details:

Under Program details, you will get two tabs that need to be filled out:

Title
Description

Demographic Data:

This tab includes demographic information about the participants in the system. Admin can use the data in the future and modify and compare the reports for their future reference. This tab includes the data as:

Age
Age group
Tenure
Tenure range
Gender
Work location
Role

Reinvite type- Automatically or Manually:

After completing the first iteration, you can choose how you want to reinvite participants:

Automatically: Invitations are sent automatically to the same participants who participated in the first iteration.
Manually: You can manually select participants and send invitations according to your preferences.

Number of times of Iterations for Evaluation:

This determines the number of iterations to be set for the evaluation by the evaluators.

Recurring Frequency:

This determines the frequency of evaluation. You can always set the recurring frequency within the range given in the system.

Evaluation cycle close time:

It means the Evaluation period will be automatically closed after the selected days.

Add Evaluators:

This component has predefined personas whom you can add to the program as an evaluator. The options are Self, Manager, Direct Report, and Peer. Self is a default evaluator.

Rating Scale:

Since the Evaluation program is created to evaluate the participants so it is likely to have a likert based mindmarkers. You can always choose different types of rating scale options, which are already built.

Let’s look at the features available at the Program level. These features become accessible once the Learning Journey is created and during the Program creation process.

Add or Edit Mindmarker (UI):

Now you don’t need to switch back and forth to check the order or appearance of a Mindmarker. With this new feature, you can see changes happen in real time while editing. The existing Mindmarkers appear on one side of the screen, while the editing panel is displayed on the other.

Switch Mindmarker:

The Switch Mindmarker option allows you to change the type of an already created Mindmarker.

Multiple Description by evaluator type for message, Likert, and open response:

Each persona requires a separate description to be filled out. You may provide instructions and details in a different context, which will help evaluators better understand the scenario and make the participant evaluation process smoother.

Preview tabs for different evaluator types:

The preview includes separate tabs for each persona. You can view the program from the perspective of a participant, manager, direct report, and peer.

Note: Various preview tabs are provided while creating or editing the mindmarker.

Sending Invites to the Participants:

You can invite the participants to other programs. Either invite from New/Existing or Bulk.

Inviting Evaluators:

Admin cannot invite the other evaluators from the admin portal. It is created in such a way that only the Self-Evaluator can invite other evaluators to evaluate through the learner portal.

New Mindmarker Type – Section:

Section is a type of new mindmarker which is created under the new program type- Evaluation Program. The Section type mindmarker is created in a way that can be placed in the middle of the program, and it segregates the set of other questions.

Analytics

The Analytics module provides deeper insights into usage trends and performance metrics. Let’s see its components:

Two new components added:

Two new segments have been introduced under Analytics, and these are:

Aggregate: Aggregate is the calculated data of the last iteration and the first Iteration.
Iterations (multiple numbers): An Iteration shows the cycle of attempted self-evaluation. It could be by the self-evaluator and the multiple Evaluators. You can always make multiple iterations as per your requirement.

Summary:

The summary shows analysis across all of the evaluators, like Self/Direct Report/Manager/Peer.

Participation:

The participant list can be seen under participation, with their status and the number of evaluators they have invited.

Responses

Under the Response tab, you can see the recorded responses for the self-evaluator and the other evaluators, like Manager, Direct Report, and Peer, for the Open Response type mindmarkers.

Objectives:

You can see the competency scores for all of the evaluators under the Objective tab.

Self-Awareness:

It measures alignment and gaps in perception based on the Objective understanding, which can indicate strengths, areas for improvement, and blind spots.

High Lows:

High-Lows segment shows you the 5 highly scored and 5 least scored questions.

It analyzes the pattern on the basis of similar highly rated and least rated questions, which can be an opportunity to understand in which area the self-evaluator needs help.

Reports

You can see all of the analysis under the report segment with analytical graphs. It can be downloaded as well.

Note: All of the Analytics tabs are available under Aggregate and every iteration.

What do we have for the Self-Evaluator?

2024 Platform Release Notes

November 2024 Platform Release Notes

1. Introducing the Coach Module: New Features to Enhance Coaching and Participant Engagement

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Coach Module, a new feature designed to empower coaches and program facilitators with tools that streamline their workflow and improve the learning experience for participants. This new module helps bridge the communication gap between coaches and learners while automating many time-consuming tasks.

The Coach Module provides flexibility and control, allowing coaches to manage participants’ progress, nudge those who need extra motivation, and provide real-time feedback. Here’s an overview of the new features and how they can help both coaches and participants succeed.

Coach Module’s Components

Two New roles: Coach and Reseller Coach

We’ve introduced two new user roles: Coach and Reseller Coach. These roles can be assigned alongside any other predefined roles, giving you greater flexibility in managing users.

Coach: Tied to a single organizational portal.
Reseller Coach: Can be assigned to multiple organizational portals, allowing them to manage several groups across different organizations.

Assigning a coach to a program

Coaches can now be assigned to specific programs and groups within a learning journey. A coach can be assigned to only one group at a time, but they can manage multiple programs within that learning journey.

Note: Click here to learn how to assign a coach to a program

Nudging Participants Who Are Falling Behind

The Nudge feature allows coaches to send personalized messages to participants who are inactive or falling behind. Coaches can motivate these participants by sending a customized push, helping them re-engage and stay on track with their training.

You can access this feature from the Program Analytics section, under the Participation tab. Simply select a participant, click “Nudge,” type your message, and send it. The message will appear on the participant’s dashboard.

Note: Click here to learn how to nudge a participant

Grading and Providing Feedback on Open Responses and Learner Uploads:

The Grade Response feature allows coaches to manually score Open Responses and Learner Uploads. Since the system may not always recognize alternate answers or variations of keywords, coaches can review participant submissions and assign scores as needed.

Additionally, coaches can provide feedback directly to participants based on their responses. Once grading is complete, the system will display a green check mark to indicate the task is finished. A purple check mark means grading is still pending.

Note: Click here to learn how to grade and provide feedback

Dashboard to Track Participant Progress

The Coach Dashboard provides a dynamic view of each participant’s progress. Coaches can track participants across four key segments:

Participants who have not started: Quickly identify participants who haven’t begun the program.

Participants who are on track: See which learners are progressing as expected.

Program Overview: Get insights into overall participant performance.

Program details: Identify where participants are struggling by reviewing their responses.

My Tasks: Manage Your Coach Responsibilities

The My Tasks section of the dashboard helps coaches stay organized by listing all of their outstanding tasks. This includes:

Grading mindmarkers
Sending nudges to participants
Reviewing pending tasks

Participants can:

1. Receive feedback from their coach on their answers Knowledge Checks, Open Response and Learner Upload.

This feature has been developed for both coaches and participants where coaches send feedback to participants on their Knowledge checks, Open responses and Learner upload type mindmarkers and that participant can see those feedbacks on their dashboard at program level.

The unread message icon appears on the program and participants can read those nudges from the feedback tab.

2. Receive nudges when falling behind

Again the feature developed for both, the coach and the participant, where the coach can send nudges to participants who are falling behind. And the participants receive those nudges through email and message notification. This feature helps participants get motivated and come back on the track towards completing the training.

Benefits

Benefits for Coaches and Facilitators

Real-Time Progress Tracking: Coaches can monitor participant progress in real-time, identifying learners who need extra support before they fall too far behind.
Improved Completion Rates: With real-time tracking and the ability to send nudges, coaches can ensure that participants stay engaged and complete their training on time.
Immediate Intervention: Coaches can now send feedback to Open Response and Learner Upload mindmarkers and help a participant who shows signs of struggling by providing timely feedback and guidance to keep them on track.
Organize and manage groups: Easily link coaches with groups and programs and use analytics to monitor team progress and performance.
Full Control Over Program and Participants: Coaches have complete visibility into their programs and participants’ performance, ensuring they can track progress from start to finish.
Task Management: Coaches can track their tasks, such as grading and nudging, making it easier to stay on top of responsibilities.

Benefits for Participants

Stay on Track: The Nudge feature helps participants stay engaged, even when they’re falling behind, motivating them to complete their training on time.
Receive Real-Time Feedback: Participants get direct, actionable feedback from coaches on their open responses, knowledge checks, and learner uploads, creating a sense of achievement and fostering continuous improvement.
