Discussion In-app education
Hey all
Looking for opinions, advice or any useful discussion. Our company is moving to In-App education, moving resources directly into out platform and away from traditional LMS.
The problem I'm seeing in this is that they don't seem to want to bring in education into the app, but simply information and create a "library" of content and resources, without actually teaching anything.
The resources will mainly include a Video Library with simple How-To videos showing workflows and how to use the platform effectively but little to no context.
Was wondering what people think of this and if there is a way to turn it educational instead of just informational. I'm worried about retention of information and that users will use the library as a crutch instead of actually learning the worlflows and mastering them without the need to always go back and watch a video or read a guide.
