You're ready for more? Well, let's get started!
Now that you have completed all of the previous courses, let's move on to some quick bonus content!
Quick Links creates a widget on your learners' dashboards that is a list of hyperlinks to websites they may need to visit quite often throughout the day or week. You could put links to sites such as attendance, request a substitute, or even tech tools that many teachers use throughout the day.
From your HQ Dashboard, click on Content, Create, and then Quick Links Widget.
Type in the name of the website, highlight it, and click the hyperlink icon.
Paste or type the website URL and click Save.
Do this for any websites you would like to add.
Make sure the Show in Learn App button is green. The first time you create your Quick Links widget, it will say Publish in the upper right. After that, you will see the word Save.
Announcements can be used for so many different things! You can choose the type of announcement you want to send and easily hyperlink anything from courses and learning paths to any external links you may need to send to your faculty and staff. The best news is you can choose to send this as an email, post it to their dashboard, or both!
From your HQ Dashboard, click on Content, Create, and then Announcements.
Click Create Announcement in the upper right.
Enter a title for this announcement.
Select the type of announcement.
Note: If you select Important, it will always be in the upper left of the dashboard. If you select Featured Course or Featured Learning Path you won't need to upload an image and it will link directly to that course or learning path.
Enter the body of the announcement.
Note: We highly recommend using the hyperlink feature rather than pasting a long URL in here.
Choose an expiration date for when you want this announcement to disappear from the learner's dashboard. Choose a publish method. You can choose to email it, post it on the dashboard, or both.
Finally, choose an image to use for this announcement. If you want this announcement to only be visible to certain groups, you can choose those on the bottom left. Once you are done creating your announcement, click Publish in the upper right or you can save it as a draft if you aren't quite ready for it to be posted on the dashboard.
Note: I have a folder on my computer with some images that are just general in case I don't have time to create a fun one.
You will now see the announcement on the list on your Announcements page. You will see the groups that it will be visible to as well as the expiration date.
As long as you are having this announcement be visible to the entire district or you are a member of the group that you selected for this announcement, you will see it on your dashboard on the Learn side.
Goals are deadlines that you can attach to Learning Paths. The learner will get an email that the goal has been assigned to them. On the Learning Path card and the page, they will see an On Track Pace that will tell them how many minutes they need to work per day or per week in order to meet that goal.
From your HQ Dashboard, click Content, Create, and then Goals.
Click Create Goal from the upper right.
Enter a title for the goal.
Note: You could make this something specific or just use the name of the learning path you are planning on using.
Choose the Learning Path you would like to attach this goal to for your learners.
If you only want to assign this goal to a specific group of users, choose that group or groups here.
Note: We do not recommend using job titles since they are self selected during the onboarding process. Your learners may have a different interpretation of the job title they are choosing than you do.
Select how often you would like your learners to receive an email reminder that the goal deadline is approaching.
Make sure this box is checked if you want your learners to receive an email that this goal has been assigned to them.
Enter the deadline date for the goal.
When you have everything entered, save this goal as a draft or go ahead and publish in the upper right.
You will now see the goal on your Goals page along with the groups it is assigned to as well as the deadline date.
From the Dashboard on the Learn side, you will now see a widget for this goal.
They can see the On Track Pace and they can click on it to take them straight to the learning path page.
From the learning path page, they will see the deadline date and the on track pace on the left sidebar.
