Learn about Forget Me Not® Freestanding and how it can be used in organisations to make learning more accessible
Forget Me Not® Freestanding is a new and exciting innovation that allows learners to access training directly in the flow of work on a shared kiosk device, without the need for a mobile phone or computer.
It provides quick and easy login options and has a simple interface to get straight into answering questions. When using the Forget Me Not® Freestanding, there are none of the usual notifications or chat banter used with the traditional Learner App or Learner Web, so this means that learners would need to visit the kiosk daily in order to check for available questions and check on their progress.
If no questions are available then the system presents learners with 'fillers' that are designed to be fun and interesting to encourage a daily learning habit. With questions and fillers, there's always something to do with Forget Me Not® Freestanding Kiosk.

Why use Forget Me Not® Freestanding Kiosk
In many workplaces today, and in particular, within the Aged Care sector, their can be many barriers to learning which can include:
- Learners don't want to use their own mobile phone
- Organisational policies often don't allow using mobile phones during work hours
- Learners are worried about using up phone data limits when using their own device
- Learners can forget to do learning if not 'front and centre' in the flow of work
- Learners engagement can be lower when there is less social interaction with co-workers
How does it work?
Forget Me Not® Freestanding Kiosk works as a shared kiosk that can be located in common areas within the workplace, such as lunch rooms, breakout areas and even in resident dining rooms.
The kiosk device has installation requirements, such as being close to a power outlet and must have access to a Wi-Fi network. It must be securely mounted to a wall, on a desk or flat surface, or floor mounted, and not in a location that can cause safety issues.
Once installed and connected any learner can login using any of the provided login options. The learner is then presented with:
- Today's questions from series they are enrolled in
- A selection of fillers that are available
Once questions have been answered or the filer has been viewed, the system will automatically offer to log out the learner so it's ready for the next person.
What's different about Forget Me Not® Freestanding Kiosk
With the kiosk, the learning style is slightly different to the traditional Forget Me Not® because learners will login, answer questions and then log out straight away. This means that learner engagement must be done by other workplace communication channels.
Learners do not get reminders or notifications when using Forget Me Not® Freestanding Kiosk so these important communications must be managed by the Console Admin using standard corporate comms systems.
