One source for all self-directed learning

LearnUpon's catalog displays the courses and learning journeys that learners can access and enroll on through your organization. The following GIF highlights the look and feel for learners.

Banners

Use banners to feature current messages to learners, calls to action and reminders. See Set up banners for learners' Home page and the catalog

Each course gets a card

The course cards summarize a lot of information in a small space, including:

course title and release date
course image
label for course or learning path
label to indicate a live learning session
length in time or number of modules
ratings, based on number of reviews

The following screenshot is an example of a row of cards in the catalog. Learners can see up to 5 cards across, and the display resizes smoothly for smaller screens.

Browse, search and filter the catalog

Learners can browse the catalog for courses of interest. Rolling your pointer over the course card:

highlights the course
displays the course description
offers the option to Enroll, Request enrollment or Start now, depending on your course and catalog settings

See the request enrollment setting, and catalog enrollment options in Add courses and learning paths to the catalog.

The following screenshot shows an expanded course card when you roll over it, offering the choice to Start Now or Enroll.

Learners can filter the catalog offerings by:

Search - looking for terms within course content
Category - uses portal categories to group courses
Content type - specify courses only or learning journeys only. The default setting is all content
Enrollment status - search for courses where learners are enrolled, or not
Live sessions aka instructor-led training, or Live Learning
Skills - search by the skills listed in the portal

Filters are only available if the feature they filter is in use. For example, if no courses offer certificates, learners won't see Certificate available as a filter option.

Learners can also sort the catalog by course Name or Release Date.

Tip: when you restrict courses to certain groups, the restricted courses appear only to group members. Other organization learners don’t see them in the catalog at all.

This restriction is different from filtering. See Add courses and learning paths to the catalog.

The search engine in the top navigation reviews titles, descriptions and keywords for courses within the catalog.

The following screenshot shows the search field plus filters. The Live Sessions filter is selected, and the screenshot includes the first 2 results. learner catalog with live sessions filter.png
