    October'S Updates in SHIFT

    New eLearning Game
    Tennis is the newest sport offered by SHIFT's Game Engine where students will be able to compete to win a challenge. 

    The tennis game in SHIFT's Game Engine lets users add single choice questions that can be answered correctly in order to win the Tennis Cup.

     


    This game displays instructions automatically and the instructional designer needs to include a minimum of 5 questions which will be displayed randomly.

    Also the game can be interchanged among all others inside the Game Engine without losing the information added in the first place.

    This will allow instructional designers to use their contents in many different ways.

    New Avatars
     

    Avatar screens in SHIFT let the instructional designer present information that requires a direct contact with the student.

    They can be used to kick start a course, close a module, topic or course, present the course's learning objectives, etc due to the fact that the avatar is a character that serves as a tutor or a guide for the student inside each particular course.


    SHIFT's newest avatars will let you have tutors that can fit accordingly to the content inside each of your courses

    Also a new button called "Select" has been added to the screen which will let you search the type of agent you want and add it to the screen by clicking over its thumbnail.


    Automatic Main Menus
    SHIFT's 13 new menus will allow you to have flexibility and variety in your course's structure.They can be easily updated by simply clicking on the Install button.

    Choice Exercise

    When the student answers the question correctly, he/she will receive positive feedback and the Forward button will be activated automatically but if the student answers incorrectly, a Review button will be activated taking the student back to the section that needs to be reviewed in order to answer the question or questions in the right way.

    The Smarter Training Roadmap for 2026

    If January has taught us anything, it’s that the "Content Factory" era is officially behind us. Throughout this month, we’ve explored a single, driving truth: In 2026, the measure of L&D success isn't how much we build, but how well we support business execution. We started the year by asking a hard question: Is your training busy, or is it effective? We looked at why organizations are stripping away the complexity of EdTech to focus on what matters, ecosystems that reduce development time and personalized journeys that actually stick. We also introduced the concept of Microlearning 3.0, powered by AI tools like SHIFT Meteora, which moves beyond simple "short content" to deliver AI-driven performance support directly in the flow of work. As we wrap up our focus on Smarter Training for Better Business Results, let’s distill these insights into a final roadmap. Here is how you can ensure your team doesn't just "do" training this year but drives the kind of data-driven results the C-Suite celebrates.

    Ultra-Short Tip: How to Turn Training into Results (Without Creating More Courses)

    In previous articles, we saw that training no longer competes for "more content," but for better execution. The next step is moving from "delivering learning" to "activating performance" at the exact moments where the business wins or loses. In 2026, the problem isn’t a lack of training. The problem is that, even with training, execution remains inconsistent: everyone solves problems "their own way," errors are repeated, and results depend on who handles the case. Smart training shifts the focus: it doesn't design to cover topics; it designs to standardize critical decisions that drive business KPIs.

    Smart Training in 2026: Learning That Impacts Results

    In 2026, training stops being measured by completed courses and starts being measured by execution. Organizations achieving real impact don’t train by topic: they design learning around the critical moments where decisions are made, errors happen, and business results are defined. The Real Problem L&D Faces Today In this new stage of L&D, the conversation no longer revolves around “what course is missing,” but around a much more relevant question for the business:
