Following up on my earlier announcement about a deep and thorough redesign of platform interface, I am happy to announce that the team here is ready to move the new product from https://beta.rukuku.com to production and general availability starting Monday,
Here’s me using the new webinar environment.
Enjoy the new and improved Rukuku. Happy teaching and learning!
Last year we were very actively involved with our customers, working on a variety of certificate courses and course marketplaces.
In the process we collected tons of very valuable insights. Our customers advised us on what needed to be improved. In November we started working on version 3 of our interface. I am happy to announce that a completely revamped product is quickly coming to life.
The team is now busy updating the User Interface and simplifying User Experience.
Some of the key improvements and new technologies that will be coming live in the next several weeks are:
Storefront customization interface design drafts
Buttons and colors of the new interface are both practical and fun
Presenter’s view of Webinar toolset
Drawing board; camera off, mike on.
As you might have heard, our friends at Zaption are no longer an independent company as they have joined forces with Workday on June 30, 2016. This is great news for Chris, Charlie and the team!
However, Workday decided to stop supporting third-party integrations with Zaption. We had to remove Zaption integration and so the widget is no longer a part of the instructor toolset in the Course Builder.
Most of the great interactions that Zaption provided can be done with the Quiz Module instead. We’ll improve the Quiz Module further to fully substitute the functionality that many of our customers used in their courses.
Happy training!
I spent six years on seven separate ‘tours of duty’…for the same company.
(For more info on Tours of Duty, check out www.alliedtalent.com, and get the book by Reid Hoffman – LinkedIn founder – Ben Casnocha and Chris Yeh.)
Every time, the mission, the expectations, resources involved and objectives were crystal clear. And with every successfully completed tour of duty, mutual trust, confidence and willingness to ‘take it to the next level’ all grew in commensurate proportion.
It is a genuinely practical way of breeding collective success and the desire to reproduce this formula.
This company built – and maintained – its industry leading position on this model.
No doubt like many, I have had my fair share of ‘not-so-great’ corporate experiences, but this one was phenomenal and stood out, in great part because it included these critical ingredients. Successful tours of duty breed camaraderie, loyalty, enthusiasm, fun and the desire to do more and better.
And those have got to be worthwhile ingredients to seek and secure, right?
Here’s to Inspired Performance!

Wow! SXSW2014 is an amazing experience through and through. Our booth at the trade show was very well attended. We have started conversations with many potential partners and customers: training businesses and organizations, corporate trainers and HR departments in large corporations. The press is also very active at the trade show. All in all, it has been 14 hours of non-stop action today! We already know we will be back for next year’s SXSW – the event is that good!
