The GFoundry platform is designed as a complete learning ecosystem, not just a static library of courses. This means you have the flexibility to deliver training in two distinct ways: as individual Standalone Content or as part of a comprehensive, gamified Learning Journey (Mission).
Understanding the difference is key to creating the most effective training strategy for your teams.
Standalone Content: The Building Blocks
Standalone Content is any single, self-contained training item. This could be a compliance video, a PDF guide, or a single course built with slides and a quiz. These are the fundamental building blocks of your training library.
When to use it: Perfect for specific, "just-in-time" learning needs, such as a product update, an important policy training, or a targeted skill refresh.
Learning Journeys (Missions): The Strategic Path
A Mission transforms training into a guided, visual, and gamified Learning Journey. It is a structured path that connects multiple goals into a cohesive program. These goals can include completing standalone content, performing actions in other GFoundry modules, and more.
Employees follow a visual map, completing Goals to unlock Milestones on their way to finishing the entire Mission.
When to use it: Ideal for complex, long-term training programs like new employee onboarding, leadership development tracks, or in-depth certification paths. Missions provide structure, motivation, and a clear sense of progress over time.
The Role of Gamification
Gamification is the engine that powers the learning ecosystem. Within a Mission, it provides the visual path, the narrative, and the satisfaction of reaching the next milestone. For all content, it provides points, badges, and leaderboards that foster healthy competition.
This approach provides powerful motivation for users to move from one goal to the next, turning the learning process into an engaging and rewarding experience rather than a simple checklist of tasks.
