THE CHALLENGE

Time constraints and untapped content

Hacking HR’s Live Certificate Programs brought HR professionals together for two hours weekly, but this format required significant time commitment and created barriers for global learners in different time zones. At the same time, the team had content from 40+ programs across multiple formats but couldn’t transform it into accessible on-demand resources without custom LMS development.

How LearnWorlds helped Hacking HR work smarter and deliver better results

Hacking HR delivers their On-Demand Certificate Programs using AI-avatar video formats to support faster production and scalable on-demand access while maintaining an expert-designed curriculum. LearnWorlds gave Hacking HR the tools to continuously improve their programs while dramatically reducing production time.

Data that drives improvements

The team tracked enrollment, progress, assessment scores, completion rates, and time spent per activity via the Report Center, revealing the need to condense content into focused 5-6 hour experiences. This boosted completion rates without sacrificing valuable information.

Streamlined content production

LearnWorlds’ content efficiency tools helped the team build fast. The team can duplicate sections and reuse them across programs saving hours of repetitive work. The centralized video library eliminates re-uploading content from external sources, keeping everything organized in one place.

Guided learning experiences

Autoplay functionality seamlessly guides learners from one video to the next, creating a continuous learning flow. The team can set completion criteria that ensure learners watch all content before moving forward.

Flexible assessment tools

In LearnWorlds, assessments can be placed anywhere in the course to check understanding in real-time. Final exams provide comprehensive evaluation with automated scoring and immediate learner feedback. Evaluation surveys capture learner feedback.

The result: A professional learning experience

with minimal technical overhead and a team with more time to focus on creating content rather than maintaining platforms.

“Based on feedback and the completion rates, we realized this is really too long. If it’s going to be on-demand and flexible, and we want people to complete it, we need to slice and dice.”
