Tasked-Based Learning Paths

OGL enables the creation of task-based learning paths that guide users through specific tasks, aligning with project requirements and user needs.

1. Identify Test Script Driven Tasks: Name and group tasks based on test script scenarios.
2. Create OGL Process Guides and Training Documentation: Use storyboards and scenarios to create guides for identified tasks.
3. Design Task Lists in OGL: Align tasks to user groups and create task sequences.
4. Maintain and Enhance: Regularly update process guides based on analytics and feedback.

Integrating OGL into your training programs requires careful planning and alignment with existing training frameworks and project goals.

Decide Your Training Options

Choose from base, functional, and enhanced training options to fit your organization’s needs best.

• Base Training: System navigation, consultant demos, pre-packaged content.
• Functional Training: Test scripts, process documentation, job aids, SOPs.
• Enhanced Training: Active trainer programs, dedicated training resources, and training metrics.

Creating seamless learning paths from development to deployment is critical to successful training integration. Test scripts, training documentation, and OGL process guides create seamless learning paths from development to deployment.

Identify opportunities to integrate OGL into existing frameworks. Strategize incorporating OGL content into project plans, communication distributions, and training development.

Driving engagement and adoption of OGL requires strategic project management and stakeholder collaboration.

Effective project management includes:

• Encouraging feedback: On OGL content.
• Utilizing change networks: To communicate with end users.
• Training super users: On OGL features to promote benefits.
• Needs assessment: Focused on end-user learning content.
• Collaboration: With stakeholders to integrate existing content quickly.

Measuring the effectiveness of OGL involves tracking various metrics and gathering feedback to improve the learning experience continuously.

Develop an engagement scoring system based on user interactions and collect qualitative feedback to gain comprehensive insights.

Key Metrics

• Analytics: Track usage, completion rates, and time spent on guides.
• Surveys and Feedback: Direct user feedback on guide effectiveness.
• Hotspots: Identify high-activity areas within the application.
• Completion Rates: Measure task and guide completion rates.
• User Behavior Patterns: Observe the most accessed guides and user navigation paths.

By combining quantitative analytics with qualitative feedback, you gain a comprehensive understanding of user engagement and areas for enhancement.

Oracle Guided Learning (OGL) is designed as a modern, in-application guidance tool that offers real-time training and support, making it more dynamic and user-friendly compared to Oracle User Productivity Kit (UPK). While OGL provides interactive and contextual help within the application, UPK focuses on creating comprehensive documentation and simulations.

Oracle has positioned OGL as the next step in user training and adoption, effectively replacing UPK by providing more integrated and intuitive training solutions directly within Oracle applications.
