Micro-learning Nudges
Training in the flow of work, not in a back office
Three-to-five-minute Nudges teach one behaviour a person can use on their next shift. A digital coach in every employee’s pocket that is easy to deploy, instantly available and short enough to complete on a break.
Spaced repetition brings key concepts back at the right intervals. Badges, leaderboards and rewards tie completion to progress people can see.
Learning paths
Take people on a journey, not a one-off course
Combine modules into learning paths built around a role, a tenure stage or a specific skill, then assign them to individuals, teams or whole locations.
New starters get a structured onboarding journey; experienced staff get the path that closes their gap.
Gamification
Training people finish, because they can see it counting
Frontline training fails at completion, not at content. Badges, leaderboards and rewards make finishing worth doing — and because completion and quiz scores roll into the same leaderboards your teams use for sales, learning shows up next to performance instead of in a separate system.
Build and manage your own content
Your content, your structure
Create micro-modular content with video, text, images or web content — or bring in the content you already have. Set up your own organisational architecture with permission roles, assign courses by audience, and build learning communities that match how your business is actually structured.
Analytics
See what stuck, not just what was completed
Track progress by individual, team, department or location in real time. Drill into specific audiences to find where knowledge is thin. Completion tells you training happened; knowledge checks tell you it worked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frontline training software delivers learning to deskless and shop-floor employees on mobile, rather than through classroom sessions or a desktop LMS. It typically covers short-format lessons, learning paths by role, and reporting on completion and knowledge gaps. Moonstar adds a performance layer: training can be triggered by the KPI or standard a team is missing.
Micro-learning delivers training in short, single-topic lessons — usually three to five minutes — that an employee can complete during a shift. It suits retail because store teams rarely have an uninterrupted hour, and because spaced repetition of short lessons produces better retention than a single long session.
A Nudge is a short, targeted micro-learning lesson — typically three to five minutes — that teaches one specific skill or behaviour an employee can apply immediately. Nudges are personalised and delivered on mobile, so training reaches people who don’t sit at a desk.
Yes. Moonstar lets you create micro-modular content using video, text, images or web content, and integrates with Articulate and other authoring platforms if you already author elsewhere. You can also combine your own content with the ready-made Moonstar’s Content Hub library.
Moonstar combines threaded learning, spaced repetition and intelligent reinforcement to counter the forgetting curve. Short lessons appear at intervals, so employees revisit key concepts at the right moments and apply them in real situations — reinforced rather than learned once and lost.
Moonstar tracks progress by individual, team, department and location in real time, with knowledge checks that test whether the lesson landed rather than just whether it was opened. Custom reports let you drill into specific audiences to identify where knowledge is thin.
Any skill essential to frontline performance: customer service, sales behaviours, product knowledge, operational standards and leadership basics. Because Nudges are modular and quick to update, you can align training with seasonal priorities or a specific performance gap.
Three to five minutes a day. Training is designed to fit into an existing shift rather than requiring scheduled time off the floor, which is what makes it viable for stores that can’t release staff for classroom sessions.
