Summary
See the learners' view of the application’s user interface (UI). The look and feel of learners' features is different from that of instructors, managers and admins.
Navigation features are available to all customers.
See Navigating LearnUpon as an admin, manager or instructor about the interface features for other user types.
Registration and first login
Learners can access LearnUpon for the first time when:
- an admin creates accounts, sends each learner a login link, and securely communicates password to learners
- an admin invites learners by email, which requires the learner to respond to the invite, and set up their own password
- an admin buys courses in bulk, and
- sends a code to learners, to access a course by text, or another message option
- enters learners' email addresses during purchase, so learners receive an access code by email
- a learner sets up their own account through one of
- an eCommerce site
- Register now in the LearnUpon login screen
Learners typically need to set a new password and confirm it, before progressing.
The following screenshot shows a sample branded login page.
If your organization requires learners to accept terms to use the portal, the first page they view is the terms with an option to Accept or Decline.
See Portal setup: add terms for your portal.
If your portal uses custom user data supplied by learners, the next page asks them to complete the custom user data fields. You can make the fields optional or required.
See Custom user data: set up custom fields.
Dashboards
The dashboard is the home page, for all LearnUpon users.
Learner dashboards feature any current courses and course information.
Admins can set up learner dashboards to include rotating banners, and additional widgets.
See Set up dashboard and catalog banners and Portal dashboard settings.
Interface navigation
Learner dashboards feature links for their primary activities, depending on which features are available to learners. Each link offers additional menus.
- Dashboard - default home page that shows learners' current courses and sessions
- Catalog - for organizations that let learners select courses and enroll themselves. See Add courses and learning paths to the catalog
- Resources - for portals that offer content outside of courses. See Create a resource
- Store - for organizations that sell courses internally or externally. See eCommerce overview
- Forums - for portals using forums to build engagement with learners. See Enable forums for your portal, and add topics
The following screenshot is a sample of the menus available to a test learner, with the default Dashboard selected.
On small screens or in a mobile device browser, most items in the navigation bar "move" to a compressed menu icon, aka a hamburger icon.
The following screenshot shows the same test learner's view, on a small screen, with the hamburger icon highlighted.
The following screenshot shows the options available when the learner selects the hamburger icon: My Profile, top bar menu items, Language, and Logout. The learner can select the X to return to Dashboard.
Search and icons
A learner’s dashboard includes Search, and up to 3 icons:
- Search: opens the search engine with default filters to narrow searches
- Messages: automated notifications, and messages from other users. See Send a message or an announcement
- Switch Portals: if the learner can access more than 1 portal, the switcher icon lets them choose another portal. If one or more of their portals has 2FA turned on, they may need to enter a 2FA code to access another portal. See Learner view: set up two-factor authentication (2FA) for your account
- User Settings: the roundel with learner initials or image links to the learner’s profile. See Users: the basic profile Users: the basic profile
