Getting started with QuickHelp
As a first-time QuickHelp user, you’re asked to fill out some basic profile info. You’ll then be asked about the Office 365 materials you use and your experience with Office 365 applications. By answering these questions, you give QuickHelp a better understanding of what you already know so it can provide you with personalized Office 365 e-learning.
Starting your skill path
Here’s where your journey really begins!
Once you have checked off all the Microsoft applications you have experience with, you will be greeted with a video introducing you to the program. As a new employee, QuickHelp will provide you with the information you need to navigate the program. Once you have completed the video training, you will then be tested on how well you understood the content. Now that your first task is completed, you will receive points. These points contribute to your ranking among your peers, and give the administrator an insight into your progress.
An inside note for beginners on QuickHelp, your administrator can provide you with introductory tasks that will fit your specific needs. While you will be provided the tasks on how to navigate QuickHelp, you will also be provided other pre-assigned content for you to complete. Now that you have learned the basics of the program, let us look at how you can learn more.
How do I learn more?
QuickHelp’s content is available anytime you need it. To find more content on other subjects, you have two options: You can click either on the yellow student cap in the top-left corner or on the black checker-square icon, beside the rectangular search section on the top.
If you choose the second option, you can either view suggested content or browse the full QuickHelp catalog yourself to find something that interests you.
What happens next?
If the video you want to watch is available straight away, you can simply watch it then and there, or bookmark it to come back to at a more convenient time.
The administrator’s perspective
Let’s take a quick look at some features that QuickHelp admins can use to track user progress.
In the QuickHelp admin portal, you can monitor user engagement and even reward users who have been doing well. The program focuses mainly on visuals to have a better picture on how your employees are interacting with the program, and the program’s effectiveness. This unique feature can help you figure out instantly what changes need to be made to engage the users more with the program. You can also see the popular user journeys, which can help you further understand what is the best and effective content your employees will enjoy. Another unique feature of the program is that you can export the data from the program. This can provide you with ease in further understanding and analyzing how the data is related to each other.
Once you have looked at the Dashboard content, you can also look at the Content feature in the navigation menu on the left. In this section, you will be able to check all the Microsoft content you want your users to learn about. This will provide information on the amount of content available for each topic as well as when it was last updated. You also have the option to publish content you want and do not want.
There is also the Group feature where you can classify your employees based on what they need to learn about and when they will receive the information. You can also go into the Communication feature where you can create custom introductory and reminder emails for the users by using the templates provided by the program and Sherweb. These emails will focus on the subject that you would like the user to look at and you can schedule when you want the emails to be automatically sent out.
Lastly, let’s look at the User Journey feature. This feature is where you are able to take your groups and assign a specific journey’s to them. Whether the user is a new hire or part of a sales team, they will be aware that the skills tasks they are provided are unique to them.
As a bonus, QuickHelp is also compatible with Office 365 tenants, so admins can easily manage users without any learning curve involved.
With QuickHelp’s customized training, you’ll build even more loyalty and value among your employees. Learn more about QuickHelp today to supercharge your Office 365 productivity.
