If you have your own existing training material, you can convert it into training courses using AI.

What are quizzes?

Quizzes (also known as Rapid Refresh) in SafetyCulture are an efficient way for you to re-engage learners who have become dormant after completing training courses. With quizzes, you can deliver tests at regular intervals to check your teams' understanding and reinforce knowledge retention. Questions can be set up using a simple Excel template, and you’ll have access to timely analytics to help understand learner and user group performance.

If you want to have quizzes as part of training courses, you can also add quiz lesson slides to standard lessons.

Create a content calendar

You can start creating your first set of courses and lessons in Training in several ways, including importing ones from the Course Library, describing a topic and creating content using AI, or starting from a blank course and lesson.

However, before getting started, we highly encourage you to do course planning first, especially if you intend to publish courses over an extended period of time. This will help you pace when you need to create new courses and establish the journey you want your users to follow.

Depending on how often you plan to release content to your users, you can plot upcoming lessons and courses on a weekly or monthly basis, like the following example:

Create a training content calendar.

While SafetyCulture offers some really efficient ways to create training content, we recommend that you learn how to start from a blank course. This will make it easier for you to edit your training content later.

Do you want to teach a concept, quiz your users, or even play a game? Use lesson slide templates to create fun and interactive learning experiences for your team.
