Browsing the Library

The Search for Learning field enables users to enter keywords for a quick search of items, curricula, programs, QuickGuides, collections, and classes available in the Library. The Browse Library feature allows users to browse their entire library without entering a search value or selecting a filter. The Browse Library can function as a dropdown with the options to Browse by category or Browse All, if configured in the library settings.

The Library landing page displays all search results, which can be sorted by relevance, duration, price, rating, and alphabetically. Users can filter results by learning type, categories, duration, mobile-enabled content, delivery method, and more. If configured, courses from Open Content Network (OCN) providers may also be included.

By utilizing filters and sorting options, users can save time and access the most relevant materials to enhance their knowledge and skills.

When exploring the Library, users have the opportunity to register for various classes. Learners can view upcoming classes within the enhanced search results. When a learner's search criteria match a course that has an upcoming class available in their library, the Show Classes option is displayed in the search results. This option allows learners to expand a list of upcoming classes, along with their date, time, timezone, and facility. The list displays up to five classes, sorted by the upcoming date. Here’s a breakdown of the registration process:

• Class Visibility and Registration Options
  • Visible Classes: Some classes are displayed in the user’s Library, but self-registration is not allowed for these. Users will typically find details about these classes, along with contact information for inquiries regarding registration.
  • Self-Registration Classes: Other classes do allow self-registration, although they may require users to complete an approval process before they are officially enrolled.
• Users can view available classes from the Item and get more information about each class before registering. On the Class Information screen, users can find specific details about each class, which may include:
  • Dates and times for each session
  • Instructor name and classroom location
  • Address of the facility
  • Contact information for further inquiries

If approval is required, users will receive a message indicating that their request is pending approval.

If no approval is required, when users select the Register button, they will receive confirmation that they are successfully enrolled.

When submitting an approval request for a course that has an associated price, users can add a comment for the approver.
