Here is a preview of Docebo’s new features and improvements which will be rolled out by the end of October. We’ll be more specific about an exact roll out date closer to release, but we wanted to give you a taste for what’s coming up because it’s big news! So, what’s included? Two disruptive new modules that will allow you to add Coaching, Informal and Social Learning to your online training projects, new integrations with Zendesk, Optimizely and Elucidat, and much more!
Docebo moves beyond LMS: Learn. Coach. Share
Since learning happens in a variety of ways we have been doing some background research, and developing two new modules to address the 70:20:10 learning model (this is explained in a recent blog post by Josh Squires: Does the 70:20:10 model still have relevance in today’s learning organizations?).
We are super excited to announce that in the upcoming release Docebo will be comprised of three main modules:
1. Docebo Learn
The Docebo platform as you know it: a LMS to organize, distribute and track online courses.
2. Docebo Coach
A new module that facilitates social learning by engaging the experts. Ask questions, get answers, coach.
3. Docebo Share
Capture user-generated knowledge that is then validated by peer review and shared across the organization.
Docebo Coach and Docebo Share will be available for Enterprise customers only, and they will be rolled out as a Beta version
Authoring, A/B testing and help desk
Docebo is a modular LMS which expands its features as you need it – and integrations are a part of that modularity. Our LMS is designed to be used with a multitude of different software, and with the next update we’re going to provide 3 new integrations:
- Elucidat: an innovative Cloud elearning authoring tool; beautiful UI (User Interface) for mobile devices; Tin Can 1.0 (xAPI) compliant
- Zendesk: Zendesk is a cloud-based customer service platform that includes ticketing, self-service options, and customer support features
- Optimizely: user experience optimization platform; enables A/B testing to enhance websites & mobile apps
Docebo LMS video player enhancement
Many say videos are the future of learning, and Docebo is working to provide you with future-proof video features! The new Docebo video player comes with full HLS encoding support, and resolution-adaptive streaming of video contents. What’s more, we’ll be supporting the webVTT standard so you can add subtitles to your eLearning videos in more than 30 languages! Bookmarking has been implemented, and you can even enable an option that prevents learners from fast-forwarding through courses.
