Welcome to your Community update, bringing you all the news from the Totara Community! This week, sign up to our upcoming webinars, take an updated Academy course and a change to the Community sign up process.
Create your first playlist
Did you know that you can create your own resources and playlists in the Community, either just for you or to share with colleagues or the wider Community? A few weeks ago our weekly poll asked what kinds of activities you have been doing in the Community, and creating playlists was bottom of the list! If you want to know more about adding or saving resources in the Community, watch our explainer video.
The most popular answers were taking an Academy course, followed by watching one of our webinars (either on demand or live), so do check those out too.
Fancy a look around the Talent Experience Platform (TXP)?

Updated Academy course
Do your team members ever need to capture proof of learning or achievement outside of your Totara system? Then you might be interested in our updated Evidence v14 course launched yesterday. In this course you’ll explore how to add evidence types and add evidence to a user’s profile, as well as how to link evidence to courses and competencies.
Getting to know you better
As the Community continues to grow, we are continuously working to improve your experience. To help us do that, we’re making a change to how users can sign up to the Community. From now on, you will need to use your company email address to create a Community account. If your current Community account uses a personal email (such as a gmail or hotmail account), please update your email address as soon as possible. It only takes a minute, and there’s a short video on how to do it here on the Community.
You’re free to update your email address at any time in future, so if you change companies you can still take your account with you.
If you have any questions or have a reason to use the Community but don’t have access to a company account, please get in touch with the team on community@totaralearning.com.That's all for now, have a great week and look forward to seeing you in the Community!
