An onboarding course from your company's videos
Most onboarding is a list of recordings nobody watches end to end. New hires skim, forget, and ask the same questions in Slack.
This workflow turns those videos into one interactive course: short modules, real-work scenario quizzes, and a progress tracker, in a single file you can share anywhere.
Uses the free YouTube to Course skill · No coding needed
What you'll end up with
- One course built from several videos (mission, product, customers, how we work)
- Scenario quizzes based on situations new hires will face
- "I can now…" checklists and a final score
- One HTML file you can put in Google Drive, Notion, or your intranet
How to do it
- 1
Collect 3 to 5 videos
Founder story, product demo, customer interviews, team rituals. Unlisted YouTube videos work too.
- 2
Generate one course from all of them
Paste every link and say it's for new hires in their first week.
- 3
Review with a manager
Check the quizzes match how your team really works, and ask for changes in plain English.
- 4
Share it on day one
New hires work through it at their own pace. Progress is saved in their browser.
