Mindsmith

We finally have a "publish" button for our dynamic SCORM packages! This has been requested by many of our customers, especially our large enterprise customers who want to make sure everything looks right before updating a lesson/course for your learners.

Mindsmith has been pioneering the next phase of eLearning packaging with dynamic SCORM, and thanks to Patrick Elzinga we finally have the last piece of the puzzle. Introducing: Change Staging. Dynamic SCORM has many benefits but one of the biggest downsides (until today!!) has been not being able to decide when changes made it to the learners. You don't want to be making changes while learners are going through the lesson, and often you need approval to deploy changes to the LMS. Now you can choose exactly when those changes make it to the LMS, or use that same process for public link sharing. Funny enough when I was working at BYU-Pathway Worldwide on English learning curriculum, we would stay up until 1 am to make changes because thats when we thought there would be the least learners. One way I tell the Mindsmith origin story is productizing all of the little solutions I came up with there. All of those + AI make Mindsmith so much more efficient to work in and out customers love it. In honor of this, I wrote a "Comprehensive Guide to Dynamic SCORM" for anyone interested in how it works. https://lnkd.in/gHCU8NRC

The 5app team did an amazing job presenting Mindsmith here! We're super excited to help them bring AI-powered eLearning content creation to their customers!

Zachary Allen and I had a blast representing Mindsmith at Training25. We booked over 60 demos and met so many passionate elearning practitioners and managers. If you didn't get a chance to talk to us, feel free to reach out! Here's a video of me shotgunning an Mindsmith energy drink -- drink this to build eLearning faster!!

Every time I look at this graph it blows my mind. In January learners spent MORE THAN 20,000 HOURS learning in Mindsmith, and we're on the climb ??. In the early days we'd look through the learner logs and get excited when someone other than the author was viewing the content. Now it happens thousands of times a day. It has been quite the grind, building a useful eLearning medium from the ground up was hard enough, but even harder is building the workflow to generate eLearning from scratch. But its finally working! Learner engagement is the lagging indicator of the whole Mindsmith process working.

AI video is now in Mindsmith! Our customers come to us with all types of media for the AI to ingest. Often they have huge amounts of video that they need help turning into eLearning. Now, our AI engine will "understand" the video you upload, trim it into relevant clips, and then bring those clips into the right places in the lesson. Then you can trim them some more if you want.

Right now our best lagging indicator of value people are getting out of Mindsmith is the number of lesson completions. More quality eLearning lessons getting published -> more learners completing lessons. Well, we recently hit a new record! Check out that graph ?? (weekly lesson completions Jan 2024-Jan 2025)!! Fun fact: Last week learners spent 6000 hours (aka 240 days aka 8 months) in Mindsmith ???

The question we're always asking ourselves in Mindsmith is this: how is the workflow of the instructional designer changing with AI? To answer this question, we have talked to countless IDs, L&D managers, CLOs, etc, and we realized that a key part of the learning design workflow was the storyboard. So, we're replacing the "outline" feature with a new "storyboard" feature. It's still in beta, but here's a sneak peek into what it looks like right now: https://lnkd.in/gTnkf3SS
