What are primer questions?

Yarno is a gamified, team-based microlearning platform that transforms training into small, bite-sized pieces. It is a daily quiz that introduces and reinforces key concepts for your workplace.

There are two types of learning campaigns: embed and burst.

On Yarno, there are two different types of learning campaigns: embed campaigns and burst campaigns

  • On an embed, questions are spread out over a number of days — you'll answer a few every day, which will repeat a few days later to help you retain the knowledge.
  • On a burst, you'll get all your questions in one go, and you'll get a few days to answer them all. There won't be any repeats.

This article is going to talk about something called 'Primers' – a set of benchmark questions that are used to measure a learner's performance before and after an embed campaign. They are designed to provide useful data that gives a clear picture of how a campaign has helped Learners improve their knowledge, skills, and understanding.

What are primer questions?

Primer questions are used for most embed campaigns, and get delivered to the Learner on Yarno, just like regular campaign questions.

Learners receive primers before the campaign kicks off, and for a second time once the campaign has ended.

What makes primer questions unique?

Unlike regular campaign questions, primers are designed as a temperature check rather than a training tool. For this reason, primers don't display the correct answer or any explanation — but the knowledge quizzed in the primers will relate to topics covered within the campaign. 

Instead, the result goes into Yarno and contributes to a primer question performance score that admins can access in order to see how learner performance has improved as a result of the campaign.
