Classrooms
Classrooms are essentially groups within your company’s account. This feature gives you the ability to assign specific courses, within specific digital classrooms, to target employees. For example, you can create a “Supervisor” classroom and only assign the training courses you wish for the supervisors of your organization within that particular classroom to complete. From there, you would send a registration link to your management-level employees for that classroom. For additional information on inviting employees to enroll for specific classrooms, please see…
Another example would be creating a “Spanish” classroom where you assign training courses delivered in the Spanish language, and invite only your Spanish-speaking employees to enroll in them.
Every account will also have a “Default” classroom that you can use if you do not want or need to group your employees separately; for example, if everyone in the company needs to take the exact same training course, you can use the default classroom.
Create a new classroom & assign courses
1. Classrooms are used to group employees by training requirements, preferred learning language, etc. To add a new classroom, go to the Group Management tab located in the purple menu on the left-hand side:
2. Under “Classrooms” Click “Add a Classroom.” This will open a menu for you to name your classroom.
3. Choose a name for your classroom, and enter it in the text box that appears. To finalize your classroom name and begin assigning courses within, click “Add Classroom”:
4. After naming your classroom, you will automatically land on the training course catalog page. This page details all of the available courses you can assign to this classroom. You can search for, or filter, courses by title, state-specific courses, language, etc., by using the menu at the top of the page:
5. Assign courses to your classroom by clicking the “Add Course” button. Once your have selected all of the applicable courses to assign each classroom or group, scroll to the top and select “Done.” After clicking “Done” you will land back on the Group Management page:
Now you are ready to invite your employees to enroll in training! For instructions on this process, please see our help article here.
**It is important to note that Administrators are automatically assigned to the default classroom. If you choose to create a new classroom for yourself, be sure to move your personal administrator account to the new classroom you create. Keep reading for further details on this process, under the title “Change a user’s classroom”.
Using the Default classroom
Every group automatically has a “Default” classroom. This classroom name cannot be edited or deleted. If you don’t need to set up multiple classrooms with different courses, or if everyone in your company will be taking the same training course(s) you can simply use the default classroom, rather than adding a new one.
To add a training course to the Default classroom, click on the blue pencil icon under the ‘Actions’ column to be taken to the course library. Alternatively, you can skip the default classroom altogether and move forward in customizing your new classrooms.
Change a User’s Classroom
It is important to note that Administrators are automatically assigned to the default classroom. If you choose to create a new classroom, be sure to move your administrator account to the new classroom you created.
To move your administrator account into a new classroom, scroll to the Enrolled Users section of the Group Management page. Then you will select your account and select “Add user to classrooms”.
Finally, select the classroom you would like to be added to, and click “add user to classroom” to finalize the change.
Deleting a classroom
To delete a classroom, click on the red trash can icon located next to the class on the Group Management page.
Note: If you delete a classroom, all current enrolled users will be transferred into the default classroom.
