Hi everyone, 

As we edge closer to the end of the year, there’s still a bit of time left to reflect on how your Totara platform is set up. Today we’ll be going behind the scenes with Lowell and Deloitte so come along to get some inspiration. 

Join us at 3pm GMT and we’ll:

  • Learn how Lowell joined forces with Deloitte to create the Explore program. A single place of truth for all leaders looking to develop their skills
  • See how the Explore program is themed as a blended learning journey
  • Review how the Explore program has been built. This includes self-assessment, seminars, capability labs, and ‘quests’ which take place in the workplace

This week we’ve released two updated courses for version 17:

In this course you’ll explore:

  • What competencies are and how to structure them
  • How to write effective competencies
  • Examples of best-practice frameworks which are ready to use
  • How to add competency scales and frameworks in Totara Perform
  • How to assign competencies to users in Totara Perform
Take the course

Core plugins and configurable features V17

You have the freedom to decide how your system is set up, and which features and plugins are used. At a high level, this includes which Totara products you enable, and then which of the many options within those products you use, and how.

In this course, you’ll explore and practise how to:

  • Choose which core functionality is enabled on your site, and enable or disable features

  • Access and change core plugins and settings

  • Manage activity modules and update the settings to suit your organisation’s needs 

  • Edit and change the settings for blocks across the site
