It won\u2019t work effectively, and you\u2019ll spend weeks or even months trying to get it right.<\/p>\n<p>When I say \u201cstrategy\u201d, I\u2019m not talking about a large document that details every single aspect of what you\u2019re going to do. That\u2019s overkill.<\/p>\n<p>But you do need to have an idea of what you\u2019re trying to achieve with every bit of training you add.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In other words, you need to decide on who it\u2019s for, what it\u2019s going to teach them, and how it\u2019ll work.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>NOTE: You need to do this for each training course because each will have slightly different strategies.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In terms of who, it\u2019s no good just saying that any user should complete the in-app training. A user who has only just activated doesn\u2019t need to use a tertiary feature yet, so the training may not be meant for them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your best bet is to make it so the in-app training is aimed at users who have spent X number of hours in the product, or who have activated certain specific features.<\/strong> This way, you know they\u2019re ready for the in-app training.<\/p>\n<p>As for what it\u2019s going to teach them, the obvious answer is \u201chow to use feature Y\u201d. But a better approach is to think in terms of use cases. <strong>Rather than teach them how to use a feature, your in-app training should teach them how to achieve something.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, the method of delivery. For complex features, your training will need to be in-depth with plenty of tooltips and supporting information. For simpler features, you might just be able to show a modal that introduces it.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"88qel\"><strong>2: In-app training implementation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once you have your strategy, you need to add the training to your product.<\/p>\n<p>There are several tools that you can use to do this, or you can even code it yourself. However, this is Userpilot\u2019s blog, so I\u2019m going to focus on how Userpilot can help you add in-app training.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Besides, it\u2019s one of the easiest ways of doing it!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, you need to create your experience. You can use a range of different elements to do this.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend that you start with an introductory modal. This should explain what the in-app training will help users to do. It\u2019s good to include a benefit here too.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the training itself should consist of tooltips and driven actions. <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/what-are-tooltips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tooltips<\/a> are used to give extra context and information.
