The guided tour and the two-minute plan assessment
The tour walks you through the real pages so you know where everything is; the assessment asks about your goals and hands you a starting plan.
What the tour actually does
The guided tour navigates to each area of the site: Home, Learning Paths, Explore, My Learning, Business Models, Simulators, the Strategy Map, Tools, Case Studies, the Glossary, and Progress. A small card explains what each one is for and where it lives in the menu. You see the real pages, not screenshots of them.
It takes about two minutes. Signed-out visitors get a shorter version that walks the public pages and ends on Articles: updates about Corlova, plus the free guides.
Starting it, leaving it, rerunning it
Start it anytime from the Take the guided tour card in the Help Center. It never expires and you can rerun it forever. New members also see a small invitation in the corner; No thanks rests it for 30 days, and the X snoozes it for the session. The permanent off switch lives inside the tour, on its first stop, and Profile → Your learning plan says which state you are in and puts the invitation back.
During the tour, arrow keys move between stops and Escape exits. One-time popups politely wait until the tour is over: the point is seeing each page, so nothing covers them.
The two-minute assessment
Personalize your plan is a short questionnaire: what you are trying to build, understand, or evaluate, plus questions about your level and interests. Some questions take one answer, some take several. You can skip it entirely, save and continue later, or tell it never to ask again.
At the end you get a starting plan: a suggested learning path matched to your goal, three starter lessons picked for your level, a suggested tool and case study, one advanced lesson to save for later, and a suggested first-week rhythm.
Sorted for your level, never filtered
You get a level from the assessment, from picking one yourself, or from what you actually read. Once you have one, browse pages lead with lessons at that level, put easier ones after them to consolidate, and mix harder ones in to stretch. Off-level cards render slightly desaturated so the ordering is visible rather than secret.
Nothing is ever hidden or locked by your level. Every result is still on the page and still openable, and the count above the grid is the whole count. Tick a difficulty filter and the level sorting steps aside entirely. You get exactly the band you asked for, undimmed.
Your recommendation sticks around
The recommended path stays pinned at the top of the Learning Paths page under Recommended for you, so it never disappears after onboarding. You can retake the assessment anytime from that same spot.
The short version of when to use which: the tour shows you where everything is; the assessment decides where you should start. Doing both takes under five minutes.
