What is Additional Learning?

Additional Learning allows training managers to enhance their learners' knowledge by providing supplementary courses and resources beyond the standard catalogue. This feature enables you to create various types of resources, including custom modules, external links to videos or articles, and downloadable PDFs and images. By offering these additional learning items, you can tailor the learning experience to better meet the needs of your team, ensuring they have access to a wider range of educational materials.

Create Additional Learning

• Select Learning & Development > L&D Settings.
• Select View on the Additional learning tile.
• Select the Add button.

• Select the type of resource you wish to create:
  • Select module: select any of the modules that are available on your platform. These include Flow core modules, SCORM and Module Builder modules.
  • Link resource: add links to videos (YouTube, audio links, podcasts…) and web articles.
  • Upload a resource: add PDFs and images (PNG, JPG).

 

• Complete the fields in the resource creation form with as much detail as possible (regardless of the resource type you choose). Include tags, a description, top learner points and a cover image as a thumbnail.

Note: mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

• Select Save & Review when you finish completing the fields. You will then see a preview of your additional resource.
• Select Publish when you are happy with the additional resource you have created.

Tagging Additional Learning content

To ensure learners receive relevant content recommendations based on their job roles, it’s essential to tag your Additional Learning items correctly.

When adding or editing a resource:

• Use the Select/Add Tags field to enter meaningful tags that match your company’s competency tags.
• These tags will be matched with the competences assigned to job roles, meaning that if a learner’s job role includes a specific competency tag and an Additional Learning item uses that same tag, then that learning item will be displayed as Recommended for You in the learner’s view.

 This helps personalise the learning experience for each employee, connecting them to content that aligns with their development goals.
