Dashboard - Best Practices

As you well know, the dashboard is the page that your learners are viewing the most because, well, it is the landing page, as well as serves as the navigation page to other features within the platform.
Hence, we encourage you to ensure that the dashboard communicates the right messages to your learners.

Here are is a collection of some best practices from us to you!

Banners

Banners are a great way to demonstrate overall platform purpose and epic meaning.

Here is an example of how to tie in the name and design into a nice banner:

If you are using a level structure, this might also be the place to promote the level structure.

  • Here is an example of a level banner:

  • Additionally, adding seasonal events that take up more room than a small promotional widget is a good addition to the platform to make it ‘spark’ interest. Remember that you can always add an URL to direct the learners from the banner to the learning or club you wish to promote:

Overall, the best practice is to keep the banner section to max 3-4 banners at one time and ensure that they are all the same height to keep the section consistent.

Promotional Widgets

Promotional widgets are a great way to promote various learning events, courses, or clubs. The links within the promotional widgets can be links within the academy i.e. into clubs, or into your internal sites.

Here are some ideas on how to use the promotional widgets:

  • You can create entire rows of promotional widgets (e.g. 3 promotional widgets of the 1x1) that are focused on a full theme e.g. learning celebration & knowledge vault.

  • You can mix and match the promotional widgets with ‘standard elements’ such as Trophy cabinet, What’s happening Wall and Leaderboard to mix up the gamification, social and promotional elements:

  • You can upload GIFs into the promotional widgets to the ‘animate’ platform. For example, here is how you could notify of something old vs. new (smile)

There you have it!

Through the use of the dashboard builder, you can design the dashboard to be captivating and spark interest for your learners to complete new content and discover new messaging. Have fun!
