Rhyme - Learn by Doing

Alex Eagle

We used Rhyme to do live hands-on sessions of Bazel to about 130 concurrent users. We achieved almost 100% engagement from all our learners for the entirety of a 1-hour long session. The session would have failed without Rhyme.

Problems with Conventional Online Training

Passively watching training videos doesn't work

Passively watching videos doesn't work

When your learners are just passively watching videos, they're not learning. They're also getting distracted by mobile phones, email, and social media

Can't learn software without interacting with it

Can't learn software without interaction

Your learners can't learn digital skills or software tools without directly interacting with software. Familiarity and confidence comes from using the software

Too much training time is wasted installing and troubleshooting

In training, an enormous amount of time and energy is wasted in installations and configurations. This is a major source of friction that keeps your learners from succeeding

Instructors can't monitor and help learners get unstuck in real time

Instructors can't monitor and help learners in real time

Instructors get no real time feedback about where learners get stuck. So, they have no way of helping learners when help is most needed

How Rhyme Solves These Problems

Learners Go Hands-On

Rhyme provides custom cloud desktops with all the required software pre-installed. Your learners go hands-on using the cloud desktops--right from their web browser

Step-By-Step Directions

Learners watch and follow visual instructions in real time. Instructions can be live or pre-recorded

Real Time Monitoring

Instructors monitor learners in real time and give just-in-time help to get them unstuck. Even take control of their cloud desktops, if needed

Make Software Demos More Effective

Disengaged prospect means money down the drain

You invested a lot of time, effort, and money to land a product demo. Now, in the demo, every second your prospect gets distracted or checks email on phone is an expensive second for you

They hate your webconference or screenshare tool

When you ask a prospect to install a webconference or screenshare tool and they waste minutes struggling with installation, configuration, and getting audio to work, you're already losing their interest

To love your software, they need to interact with it

Your prospect can't love or trust your software without directly engaging with it. Just passively watching you use the software doesn't lead them to "getting" your software

Build a relation with them through collaboration

Help your prospect build a relation with your software (and with you) by directly collaborating with them on your software. Work with them and help them solve example problems using your software

How Rhyme Makes Your Demos More Effective

Prospects Use Your Software

Prospects interact with your windows, linux, or web software. Completely from a web browser. With just one click

As You Guide Them

They follow your live or recorded guidance. This ensures they focus on the valuable and exciting features

Which Leads To Closing

They find your software features easier to understand and remember. This helps you win the deal over competition

Make Software Demos More Effective

Videos and tutorials are too passive

When watching your videos (or reading a web page), your customers get easily distracted by smartphones, social media, and emails. In the end, they don't really remember your product's awesome features

To love your software, they need to interact with it

Your customer can't love or trust your software without directly engaging with it. Just passively watching your software being used doesn't lead them to "getting" your software

Installing software for evaluation is "work"

To evaluate your software, they have to do work: download software, install it, install its dependencies, configure it, and troubleshoot installation or configuration issues

Focus on the right features through guidance

While evaluating your software, without your guidance, they may not focus on the right features of your product. They may never see the value your software can create for them
