Push Notifications

As a site administrator, you can manage push notifications to your mobile users. When you turn on push notifications, you remind learners about their learning opportunities and duties.

Get started

To access the email settings that allow you to provide a custom experience for your learners:

  1. From the left navigation bar, select Email & Notifications.
  2. Select the Settings tab.
  3. Select Push notifications.
  4. Each setting can either be on or off. Use the toggle switch to change the state.
  5. If the setting is on, select the arrow to expand the setting and make adjustments as necessary. The settings you can affect include:

Learning Reinforcement Notifications

Drive retention with reinforcement push notifications. Learners tend to forget 90% of what they learn within the first month. Research proves that information presented over spaced intervals is learned and retained more easily and more effectively.

When you keep the Learning Reinforcement Notifications setting On, the following happens:

  • When a learner completes a course that contains flashcards, they receive up to 2 push notifications over the next 30 days, starting on the Tuesday after the initial completion.
  • The second notification comes out two weeks after the first notification.
  • Each notification contains a link to the My Flashcards page in the Percipio Mobile app where the learner can test their retention.
  • If the learner completes more than one course in a 30 day period, Percipio still sends only 2 total notifications in the 30 day period.
  • 30 days after the learner stops completing courses, Percipio stops sending push notifications.

If you switch the Learning Reinforcement Notifications setting Off, learners receive no push notifications linking them to the My Flashcards page. Learners can still access the My Flashcard page from the profile drop down menu of the mobile app.

Learning Goals Reminders

With learning goals, Percipio learners can set a weekly learning goal of 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, track progress, schedule learning time in their calendars, and receive encouraging reminders. A week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. Learners can see learning goals from both the web and mobile devices.

Content that is tracked for your goal includes: courses, videos, books, audio books, book summaries, audio summaries, Skillsoft bootcamps and leadercamps, labs, TestPreps, custom MP3 and MP4, and Wintellect. It also includes time spent in Skillsoft course knowledge checks and course tests.

Allow Percipio to send Learning Goal reminders to mobile app users through a push notification. The default is on. This enables push notification reminders, encouraging learners to keep up with their learning goal each week. In addition to this setting, learners also need to enable push notifications on their devices. If a learner hasn't finished their goal by Thursday, they receive the reminder.

Some content cannot be tracked against a goal because Percipio can't track its duration. This mostly occurs for items that are linked outside of Percipio and custom live courses (instructor-led training). If you launch an item that Percipio can't track, Percipio displays a message telling you that consuming this content won't count toward your weekly learning goal.
