What Is a Playlist and How Do I Make One?
Playlists are a collection of modules that you can assign to a user. This way, you can group specific topics of modules for the user to take in order.
Creating a playlist is pretty simple!
First, you can just navigate to Admin > Learning. Then, on the sidebar, select Playlists. Once there, click Add Playlist at the top-right corner of the screen:
Here, you will find options to add a title, cover image and description as well as add certification, topics, and courses:
Once you have added all the necessary information, you can then assign this playlist to any user or group of your choice by clicking the Assign button at the top-right corner of the screen.
When Editing the Playlist, you also have the option to add Topics and Certifications, as well as Lock and Unlock courses.
When a course is Locked, it will force the user to complete the previous courses before they can unlock and take the next one. This will ensure that no one is skipping through content. You are also able to delete courses from the Playlist here, and sort them by dragging and dropping.
What do the Icons mean?
There are a few icons on the different cover photos for the Playlists once they are assigned.
The clock displays the estimated time it will take to complete the entire playlist. There is also an icon and text to show if the Playlist is certified. When scrolled over, it will also show the topics linked to the Playlist.
Blended Learning
Blended Learning is a new addition that allows all types of Content to be added to Playlists. Now, you can add Events as well as Courses into Playlists.
First, navigate to Admin > Learning > Playlists, here you can click Add Playlist. Once you do so, you will see this page appear:
Once you set the Playlist title and description, you can click the Add Content button at the bottom. Clicking this will bring up this menu that allows you to choose the type of content you will add.
For testing purposes, we will be adding a few Events and Courses.
Events will act the same as Courses when editing. So you can drag and drop it to where you want it, lock it so the previous courses have to be completed first, etc.
When you add an Event, Events with closed sessions will automatically be turned on to make sure assigned users in the Playlist can access them. The Admin will be alerted when a session that is not open for sign-up is being added.
Events that are added without sessions open for sign-up, will have to have them opened before they can be added. This is to avoid any conflicts with the assignment of the Playlist.
