Learning at your own pace
Courses
Training that does not need everyone in the room at the same time. Every learner enters with their own code, works through the path when it suits them, and the course remembers where they stopped - a week or three months later.
What is Courses?
A course is the self-paced sibling of an event. An event runs on the trainer's clock: one activity is live and the whole room follows. A course runs on each learner's clock: the modules are open from day one, and a new hire can read a chapter on Monday, take the quiz on Thursday and finish the path a month later.
The path is built out of the tools you already use in Verbalu - wiki chapters, self-paced quizzes, fill-in-the-blank and matching exercises, crosswords, role-plays with AI characters, discussion threads, file folders. What holds it together is the individual access code: one per learner, so entering it on another device three months later restores their exact place, and so the report can say who has got how far and what they scored.
Features
Key capabilities
One code per learner
The trainer mints a code for each person (or a batch of blank ones to hand out). The code is their identity, their link and their QR - no accounts, no passwords.
Continue months later
Every visit is remembered. Whoever comes back - on a phone, on another laptop - lands on the same path with everything they have already done ticked off.
Built from your own tools
Reading, quizzes, exercises, role-plays and discussions come from the tools you already have. Nothing has to be authored twice.
A report per learner and per module
Who has started, who has finished, what they scored in every quiz and exercise, and which module the whole group struggles with. Exports to CSV.
Free path or strict order
Let learners roam, or require the modules in sequence so each one unlocks when the previous is done. Extra modules can be marked optional.
Retakes and recertification
Clear one learner's progress and their code takes them through the same course again - the yearly refresher without a new link.
Self-enrolment or a fixed roster
Share the course code and learners enrol themselves, each getting their own code back; or turn that off and hand out codes from a roster you control.
Step by step
How it works
Create the course
Name it and write the short intro learners read first.
Build the path
Add modules: readings, wiki chapters, quizzes, exercises, discussions. Set an estimated time and group them into chapters.
Hand out the codes
Add learners by name (or generate blank codes) and share each personal link or QR - by e-mail, on paper, in your onboarding checklist.
Watch the report
Follow progress and scores per learner and per module, and export the whole thing to CSV when HR asks.
Use cases
What it’s good for
- Onboarding a new hire: everything they must read and know in their first two weeks
- An annual compliance refresher every employee retakes, with the quiz score on record
- Pre-work before a workshop, so the room arrives with the theory already read
- The follow-up after a training day - handed out as the last item on the agenda
- A certification path where a quiz has to be passed before the next chapter opens
- Homework a school class works through at its own pace between lessons
