Introduction

The Virtual Coach in your platform is your proactive learning coach, who can guide and steer you continuously through your learning activities and your work within your learning platform. Refer to this article to discover all the features of the Virtual Coach.

This article discusses how to ask the Virtual Coach for suggestions on learning content that is relevant for you at this point in your personal learning journey.

This Virtual Coach feature is available in English, Italian, and French.

Finding Recommended Content 

Whenever you are working on your learning platform, you can go to the Virtual Coach panel and ask for suggested learning content. The Virtual Coach looks at all the content in the platform (both formal and informal) that is available to you, - including Courses that you are not yet enrolled in, but which allow self-enrollment - and returns the content that is the top suggestion for you at this time. That is the content that you have not yet seen, and that you may want to consume next given your learning history so far.

Best Approaches

So how does it work? Simply ask for a suggestion in plain natural language. Try using the examples below, or some similar sentence, to start this type of conversation:

• Recommend a course to me.
• I want to learn something new.
• Suggest some new content for me.
• Can you recommend me some courses?
• What content do you recommend?

When the Virtual Coach returns its top suggestion, you can ask it to take you to that content page, to immediately start learning something new. In case, you do not feel like following up on that suggestion,  you can state so, and the Virtual Coach will provide you with a further suggestion.  In both cases, the Virtual Coach records your personal feedback on the provided suggestion.
