This week, we’ve got an updated Academy course available, there’s a new weekly poll, you can register for an upcoming Totara Engage webinar and we’re going behind the scenes with Totara award-winners. 

How satisfied are you with Totara?

We'd love to know what you think about using Totara. Please share your thoughts in this year’s satisfaction survey. Your feedback helps guide how the platform evolves, so we welcome any and all of your feedback. 

Take the survey

Updated Programs and certifications v14 course now available 

We often talk about learning as a journey; it isn’t just a one-off event. And it’s often a journey that you want to lead your learners on, building their knowledge and skills as you go. One way to build a learning journey in Totara Learn is using programs and certifications.

Enrol in this updated course to learn how to:

  • Create a program
  • Create an original and recertification pathway in a certification
  • Send notifications to learners from programs and certifications

This course showcases the new centralised notifications features made available in Totara 14 for programs and certifications.

Weekly poll: Which authoring tools do you use? 

In Totara you can build great courses out of the box with a range of inbuilt activities such as the quiz, glossary and wiki, feedback and choice, and lesson activities to name just a few. However, you can also build dynamic elearning and add those as a SCORM activity. So this week we’re asking ‘What authoring tool(s) do you use to create learning content?’ Find out what other organisations are using by taking our poll. We’d love to see some examples of your work too, feel free to share them in a workspace
