Yarno in a nutshell

Yarno is a gamified microlearning platform that transforms training into small, quiz-based bites.

Simply put, it's a daily quiz that introduces and reinforces key concepts for your workplace. The aim of Yarno is to provide you with the knowledge, skills and understanding you need to keep growing and improving at work.

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.

The Yarno learner experience

So what does the Yarno journey look like?

• When there's a campaign coming up, you'll receive an email inviting you to join, or a link to join will be shared with you.

The next steps will depend on whether it's an embed or a burst:

Embed campaign

• You'll be invited to answer Primer questions before the campaign starts. Click here to find out more about Primers.
• Once the campaign starts, you'll receive a handy reminder email every day which will link you to that day's questions. You can also go straight to the questions via Yarno.
• When it's time to answer a question, you'll be shown three to four possible answer choices — choose the most correct answer. If you're incorrect, you'll need to read through the explanation before moving on to the next question. If you're correct, you'll have the choice whether to read the explanation or skip straight ahead.
• Once the campaign's over, you won't be able to answer any more questions — but you'll still be able to access previously answered questions and the dashboard.
• You'll receive an email asking you to answer Primer questions for a second time, and also asking for any feedback on the campaign.

Burst campaign

• Once the campaign starts, you can jump straight into your questions. You'll receive an email letting you know when you can start answering.
• You can answer your questions at any time while the campaign is active, you don't need to answer them all in one go — you can close the app whenever you are done, and when you next sign in your remaining questions will be there waiting for you. Just don't forget to come back before the campaign finishes!
• Once the campaign's over, you won't be able to answer any more questions — but you'll still be able to access previously answered questions and the dashboard.
