Programmes allow you to create cohesive, goal-driven experiences. By organising content into programmes, you provide learners with a more structured path, guiding them through their development with clear objectives.
How to create Programmes
Step 1: Navigate to Control > Content > Programmes.
Click the plus icon to create a new programme. Add a title and topics, which will automatically generate sections.
Step 2: Manage Sections and Content
Each topic you add will create a section.
Add or edit sections using the index on the left.
Control when each section becomes available from the lock icon on each section —immediately, on a specific date, or after completing the previous section.
Step 3: To add content, click the plus icon within a section. You can add existing activities or create new ones. You can also add subsections for more detailed organisation.
Step 4: Customise programme settings
Navigate to the Settings tab, where you can adjust:
Programme title and description:
Customise the title (displayed to learners) and a brief description (up to 140 characters) to give context about the programme.
Social presence:
Enable the Social Presence feature to allow learners to see each other's progress within the programme. This adds a sense of shared experience and encourages friendly competition or collaboration. Checking this box provides learners with visibility on how their peers are progressing, fostering engagement and motivation.
Programme availability:
Link the programme to specific groups and choose the option that best suits your needs, ensuring learners receive content at the right time.
Immediately available.
Available on a specific date.
Based on user-specific criteria such as contract start date or first login.
💡 Tip: Targeting specific groups with Smart Groups
If you need to deliver content to a specific subset of learners who belong to multiple groups (or exclude certain groups), use Smart Groups.
This feature allows you to create detailed, custom groupings based on multiple criteria. After creating a smart group, link it to your programme in the settings to ensure only the right learners get access.
Step 5: Publish your programme
Once everything is set, click publish in the top right corner to make the programme available to learners. You can further enhance visibility by adding the programme to a widget on your learners' stream.
Set up programme widgets
Once your programme is created and published, you can display it using the Programmes widget.
Navigate to Control > Behaviour > Stream, and add the widget to learners' streams for easy access.
👀 Good to know
Keep in mind that unpublishing your programmes will not unpublish your activities. If these activities are not used anywhere else on the platform, make sure to unpublish them to make them unavailable to your users.
