Upskill, reskill, and cross-skill

When it comes to skills development with traditional learning platforms, it’s often difficult to understand what skills learners don’t know.

Courses may not cover all necessary skills, leaving learners untaught and untested in crucial areas. This is especially challenging when skills must be created and mapped to content, assessments, and other learning activities, requiring significant time and effort.

That’s where CYPHER comes in. AI-enabled skills development transforms the learning experience by automating the entire skills lifecycle—from creation to mapping—with top-notch precision. The platform makes it easy to identify what learners know and don’t know, automatically aligning courses, assessments, and other resources with relevant skills. The CYPHER LMS even performs a skills audit to identify gaps, helping to ensure all necessary material is covered and learners are fully tested.

Ensure courses are compliant with standards and cover all of the necessary skills. Set-up personalized learning paths and guide learners toward skill mastery, or enable them to set their own learning goals. From CYPHER’s powerful recommendation engine and adaptive learning to gamified courses and paths, everything you need to develop learners’ skills is wrapped into one platform.

Learning paths

Teachers and trainers can create learning and certification paths with different courses, media options, quizzes, and more, to guide learners. Each course within a learning path can be treated like an assessment, with points, grading categories, and more, allowing for better tracking of skill development and adding greater flexibility to the learning journey.

Learning goals

With learning goals, learners can set and track their own skill development goals, giving them more autonomy over their learning journey. The platform recommends courses based on these goals, and learners can easily monitor their progress toward mastery. Administrators maintain control by choosing goals and grouping learners with similar objectives, promoting collaboration and motivation.

This finely tuned approach delivers precise insights into skills mastery, enabling managers to showcase progress and organizations to validate personalized skills development.

Skills

Skills are the foundation for identifying what learners need to know and determining if they meet the level of understanding expected by their goals and/or learning path. Choose from CYPHER’s 5,000+ pre-built skills, upload your own set, or enable the power of AI 360 to generate skills and align them to content in just minutes, saving tremendous time and effort. You can then see a coverage analysis of how well your course covers skills to easily determine if you need to strengthen your content. Created skills can be stored in the resources library and reused for other courses.

Q&A forum

Learners can use the Q&A forum to ask questions and get support to easily reach their active goals. Collaboration can take place at a course, network or community level.

Mastery

Mastery level is a measure of how well a learner knows certain material and skills. You can specify how you would like the platform to calculate a learners mastery level, both for a specific skill and for a collection of skills. The CYPHER platform doesn’t just track mastery levels, it also allows you to trigger different actions depending on a learner’s mastery level. This enables personalized learning at scale, increases engagement, and promotes better learning outcomes.

With mastery rules, you can trigger actions when a learner: Achieves a certain mastery level, drops below a threshold for certain skills for a specified number of days, or maintains a mastery level for a specified period.

Actions you can trigger based on a learner’s mastery level: Add to group, award badge, award certificate, award points, enroll in a course, show an assessment to the user, and more!

Adaptive learning

Experience adaptive learning like never before by utilizing automation to dynamically personalize courses based on learners' previous actions. This innovative feature empowers you to craft adaptive learning modules, assignments, and paths that evolve with each learner's proficiency. For instance, if a learner demonstrates mastery of a skill in an early quiz, the CYPHER platform intelligently conceals basic lessons and presents more advanced content in real-time.

Recommendation engine

The CYPHER platform goes beyond traditional learning approaches by providing proactive recommendations. It suggests relevant materials and activities based on each learner's unique progress and interests, elevating the overall learning experience.

By default, learner recommendations recalculate every hour. However, when a new goal is added or an existing goal is paused/resumed/removed, recommendations regenerate immediately.

Gamify courses and paths

Elevate learner engagement and revolutionize skill development with CYPHER's advanced gamification, encompassing awards, competition, and motivational elements. Employ leaderboards, periodic leveling, and gamified elements within courses and learning paths. Enable accumulation of individual, group, and site-wide points and badges contingent upon participation, scores, and more. Customizable game levels, leaderboard tracking of learner advancement, and personalized badge creation are at your disposal. Bolstered by the world's largest gamification implementation, CYPHER caters to over 120,000 users.
