The challenge

Courses that worked, until someone needed one detail

Productivity Pit Stop encountered a challenge on Thinkific as students faced difficulties efficiently locating specific information within the course content. Despite an effective initial course setup, the prolonged search times prompted the recognition of the need to streamline access to information and enhance the overall learning experience.

Recognizing the need to streamline access to information and enhance the learning experience, Productivity Pit Stop sought a solution to improve the efficiency of their Thinkific courses.

Setup was never the problem

The courses were well built. Finding one detail inside them was the bottleneck.

Learning in the flow of work

A trainee mid-task needs the answer now, not a lesson to sit through.

Video, audio and PDF

Forty-two videos plus attachments, and search reached none of what was inside them.

Inside a course

One query, every lesson type it lives in

Search runs inside the course, not just across titles. Pick a result to open the lesson it belongs to.

What made the match

Spoken word matched at four points across a ten-minute lesson, each one a jump link.

On-screen text in the ribbon and dialog boxes indexed from the frame, so the step is findable by name.

The solution

Three things that decided it

02

Comprehensive multimedia search

With courses featuring 42 videos, students search across audio, video and PDF at once, and see every lesson containing the keyword.
