GLOSSARY

Kompyl Glossary

Definitions for the training, onboarding, and L&D terms used across Kompyl and the wider industry.

Training kit
A training kit is a bundled set of training materials — typically editable slides, a knowledge-check quiz, flashcards, and a facilitator guide — generated from a single source document such as an employee handbook, SOP, policy, or set of lecture notes.
Facilitator guide
A facilitator guide is the trainer-facing companion document to a training deck or course module. It contains the talking points, timing, exercises, and discussion prompts a trainer needs to deliver the session consistently.
Microlearning
Microlearning is a training delivery approach in which each lesson is intentionally short — typically 2 to 7 minutes — and covers exactly one learning objective. It is most often used for compliance refreshers, just-in-time job aids, and onboarding modules.
Bloom's-taxonomy quiz
Bloom's taxonomy is a six-level model of cognitive complexity (remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create). In quiz design, it is used to ensure questions span more than just rote recall and actually test the level of mastery the curriculum is targeting.
SCORM vs xAPI
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) and xAPI (Experience API, also called Tin Can) are the two dominant standards for tracking learning. SCORM tracks course completion and quiz scores inside a Learning Management System; xAPI tracks any learning experience — video views, simulator sessions, in-app actions — anywhere they happen.
