Step 2: Using Deep Linking for Direct Course Access 

If you want users to scan a QR code and be taken directly to a specific course or resource in the Go.Learn app, you need to create a deep link. 

What is Deep Linking? 

Deep linking allows you to direct users to a specific location within the app rather than just the homepage. 

Example Deep Links: 

  • To a specific course: golearn://course/{course_id}
  • To a specific channel: golearn://channels/{channel_id}

More details on the deeplinks for go.learn can be found here

Steps to Generate a QR Code for Deep Links: 

  1. Find your course/channel URL in Docebo.

Step 3: Embedding your QR in Emails and Documents 

For better accessibility, you can embed the codes in: 

  • Onboarding documents for new users 
  • Printed materials at training locations 
  • Company intranet or learning portals 
  • Email notifications to learners

Step 4: Addressing Security Concerns 

Some organizations may be hesitant about QR codes due to security risks. Here are a few best practices: 

  • Generate your own QR codes rather than using public or third-party-generated codes. 
  • Use HTTPS links to ensure secure connections. 
  • Educate users on only scanning trusted QR codes from your company. 
  • Use dynamic QR codes (e.g., from Rebrandly) so you can update links without reprinting materials. 

 

Conclusion 

Using QR codes to direct learners to the Docebo Mobile App (Go.Learn) can significantly improve adoption and ease of access. Whether you’re linking to the app download page or deep linking to courses, this simple solution can enhance the learning experience.
