The real rapid authoring tool

Microlearning content should be as quick and easy to create as it is for learners to use. With OttoLearn, it is. Otto’s integrated Content Studio lets you create and deploy content shockingly fast.

Create new content, retire old material, or update existing content at any time. OttoLearn evolves with your business and training needs.

OttoLearn Knowledge Map

Visualize your content with a beautiful Knowledge Map.

Chart showing how OttoLearn organizes content, from  Module > Topic > Concept > Activity

Otto organizes content in Learning Modules. Each Module can have an associated Knowledge Card, which learners can access as a built-in performance support.

You can create a learning path (scaffolded learning) by putting your Learning Modules into a logical sequence that delivers your training in the proper order.

Chart showing how OttoLearn organizes content, from  Module > Topic > Concept > Activity

Within a Learning Module, Topics allow you to group knowledge together. You can require learners to master one topic before getting the next.

You decide how detailed you want your training to be. Does the learner need only a general understanding of “Handling Objections” or to more deeply understand it?”

Focus on what matters! Most traditional elearning courses are full of non-essential information. OttoLearn allows you to focus on your most important content without all the extra fluff.  

This precision will deepen learner knowledge, resulting in the changes in learner behavior that mark the success of your training program.

Activities are short, fun interactions, where learners exercise their knowledge related to the concept.

Your learner's mastery is tracked at the Activity level, and we automatically have your learners practice with different Activities per concept.

Scaffolded learning

OttoLearn includes multiple ways to design scaffolded training experiences, to engage your learners and take them from Novice to Master.

  • Mastery Pre-requisite
  • Sequential Exploration
  • Layered Importance

Knowledge cards

OttoLearn’s knowledge cards are the perfect performance support.

Search or browse by category

Otto tracks all searches and knowledge card interactions, and correlates it to your learners' mastery. This allows you to see where your learners are spending time looking up knowledge and how learners gain independence as their mastery increases.

Discover areas of improvement

Otto will analyze your learners' searches to discover areas of knowledge that need to be supported. A learner can see their corresponding mastery for each knowledge card area, and choose to increase their recall through extra Training Moments.

The contests are designed to target specific learning and performance goals. Then, show progress with a leaderboard for maximum peer-to-peer encouragement.

Level Up!

Each time they reach a new mastery level — Reward learners for their overall progress. Use Level Up! contests when introducing new products and features or information-dense content. 

Power Up Pro

Each time they close a Concept mastery gap — Rewards are tied to individual learners’ mastery goals. Use Power Up Pro contests when individual learners need to close specific knowledge gaps or when groups of learners need to review seldom-used content. 

Training Hero

Each time they complete a training session — Rewards that incentivize regular training engagement support your continuous learning culture. Use Training Hero contests to motivate learners to develop a daily training habit or for long-running contests or training programs. 

Gamify your microlearning with points and rewards!

With Otto, you can further channel your employee’s motivation to take their training by incentivizing with points and rewards that are earned and redeemed based on the areas you'd like to see your organization improve upon.

Earn Points

As learners complete Training Sessions, they automatically earn a point for each level they gain up to their mastery goal. Once mastery is obtained, let your learners earn points for knowledge retention streaks.

Award Points

Manually award points for something outside of OttoLearn, but still related to your organization's learning culture, such as demonstrating training performance or completing external training courses.

Rewards Store

Create your fully configurable rewards store from within the Otto app. Consider the maximum points value of your training content and decide on what rewards are available, how many of each, and their cost.

Redeem Points

Make redeeming points for rewards appealing to all; with a mixture of several small, yet sought-after rewards worth fewer points. Be sure to also include high-value items for learners who prefer to save up.
