In this article we'll learn how to make a Catalogue. These are helpful to organise learning materials by grouping them into specific topics or tasks, making it simple for administrators to assign or manage them. Catalogues enhance the learning experience by allowing easy exploration of content in particular subject areas from one location.
Background
Catalogues serve as a way to share optional training materials with Users. They collect multiple Courses, which can then be assigned to Groups of Users or individual Users:
Users check Catalogues to find Courses they like. The Courses they pick from a Catalogue show up in their 'Courses I've chosen to do.'
- Catalogues can be linked to several Groups
- Every Catalogue has a special code (but the name doesn't need to be unique)
- Users can't see a Catalogue if no Courses are assigned to it
Steps to create a Catalogue
- Browse to the ‘Catalogue’ area of Learn admin:
- Select‘New’ to create a new Catalogue:
- Add a 'Code' for the Catalogue. The code is not visible to learners but will be used to identify the Course for administrators. Apply the convention your organisation has defined if relevant:
- Add a 'Title for the Catalogue. Keep the title short and concise - consider how the title will appear to the User and in reports. Apply the convention your organisation has defined if relevant:
- The 'Description' field is optional. Where used, include a meaningful description to help Administrators. This information is not visible to learners
- Select ‘Submit’ to save the changes.
Courses can now be assigned to the Catalogue and the Catalogue can be assigned to Users and Groups.
