Recommended modules are a way to recommend training content to users that they can take to continue their professional development. This article will show how to use Tags and Collections to make recommendations.

Open

Enabling Recommended Modules for the Dashboard in System Settings

First you’ll want to make sure the Recommended section of the dashboard is enabled.

As an Enterprise Administrator, navigate to the System Settings and go to the Interface tab. Scroll down until you see the Show Recommended on Dashboard setting. Select either When Exists or Always to have the Recommended tab be displayed.

Note: The ‘When Exists’ option means that the Recommended Tab will only display if there are any Recommended Modules available for that user.

Once you are done with your selection, make sure to hit the Update button before you exit.

Tagging a Learning Module

First locate or create a Learning Module you wish to make Recommended. Within that Learning Module, select the More tab and click Tags.

Open

Now select Add Tag(s) button to find the Tag(s) you are looking for.

If you need to create a Tag, then view the Tagsarchived article.

A popup window will display to search for existing Tags. Once you have found the Tag(s) you are looking for, check the box next to each tag you want to use. Then to confirm your selection, click Return Selected Tag(s).

Adding a Tag to a Position

In order to connect Learning Modules to users, you must use Positions. Within the Administration menu, select Module Tags.

From here select Edit for the Tag you wish to associate a Position with.

If you wish to make a new Tag, see Tagsarchived article.

Select the Positions tab to assign users to this Tag. To add a Position click on the – Select a Position – dropdown box. Then either scroll through your organizations Positions or type in the name of a Position. Select the Position and press the green plus button next to the dropdown to add the Position.

Now the Tag is associated with users and a Learning Module, and the recommendation will be made.

You can also make this connection by editing a position and navigating to the Tags tab.

If you require more detail about Positions see the Smart Groups (formerly Positions) article.

Collections

Recommendations are grouped into Collections, which show as tiles in the Learning Content Widget on the Student Dashboard.

See Collections to find out more about configuring Collections.

Note: Once a user has completed all of the Learning Modules in the Recommended Collection. Then the Collection will no longer display in the Recommended Tab.

Other Recommended

Some Recommended Modules may not be grouped into a existing Collection. In this case you can choose to show them in a “Other Recommended” group.

System Setting Enabled

Navigate to System Settings and select the Interface tab. Scroll until you find the Enable Other Modules Course checkbox.

Make sure that is enabled, then select update when you are finished making your changes.

Note: This must be turned on in addition to Show Recommended on Dashboard.
