How does Guidez differ from a native LMS onboarding wizard?

LMS onboarding wizards are typically linear and static — the same experience for every student. Guidez provides dynamic, segment-targeted onboarding: K-12 students see different flows than adult learners, self-paced students see different guidance than cohort students, and returning students see different content than first-timers.

Can Guidez guide students differently based on their learning path or program?

Yes. Pass program type, grade level, or subject area via identify() and create separate onboarding flows for each segment. A student in your data science program sees coding-environment setup guidance; a student in your design program sees design tool onboarding.

How does Guidez help reduce student dropout in the first 30 days?

Guidez reduces early dropout by ensuring every student reaches their activation moment quickly, then maintaining engagement with achievement celebrations (milestone banners), re-engagement nudges for inactive students, and AI Guide support for students who get stuck on course material or platform navigation.

Is Guidez FERPA-compatible for student data in EdTech?

Yes. Guidez is a UI overlay that does not store or process student educational records (PII). You pass only non-FERPA-sensitive attributes (grade level, program type) via identify(). Guidez is FERPA-compatible and COPPA-safe for K-12 implementations.

How It Works

How Guidez powers Student Activation in EdTech

Identify student type and learning goals

Pass student grade level, subject preferences, or program type via identify(). Guidez targets the right activation flow for each student segment.

Guide through profile completion

An onboarding checklist walks students through profile photo, learning preferences, and first course selection — celebrating each completion to drive momentum.

Drive to first learning activity

A product tour walks students directly to their first meaningful learning moment — a lesson, assignment, or collaborative activity depending on your platform's activation event.

Re-engage students who get stuck

Targeted banners re-engage students who haven't completed their first learning activity after 48 hours — pulling them back to their activation moment with a specific, contextual nudge.
