Sidequest for Slack

Sidequest: Asynchronous Learning Experience for Slack

Discover how Sidequest empowers teams to create engaging learning experiences for critical skills, leveraging the power of habit-forming gameplay.

What is Sidequest for Slack?

Sidequest is a Slack application that provides teams with an easy way to create asynchronous, habit-forming learning experiences focused on building critical skills. It allows administrators or managers to set up 'sidequests' - multimedia courses composed of slides, videos, quizzes, and challenges that employees can complete at their own pace.

The key benefit of Sidequest is that it turns essential training and skill development into a game-like experience, leveraging principles of motivation and engagement to get employees intrinsically interested in leveling up their abilities. Managers can track progress and reward teams or individuals for completing quests and gaining new abilities.

Compared to traditional classroom or e-learning training, Sidequest provides a lightweight, interactive approach optimized for the modern workforce and distributed teams. By integrating directly into Slack, it enables training at the point of need rather than requiring employees to leave their workflow. The gaming format incentivizes regular skill practice to promote true habit formation and skill mastery.

Ideal for sales onboarding, customer support training, manager development, and more, Sidequest creates sticking power for the capabilities that are most important for an organization's success. Its automated reminders and real-time progress tracking ensure high course completion rates and engagement levels compared to typical mandatory training programs.
