Hi everyone, 

I hope the start of 2023 is going well for you all. In this week’s community update we’ll take a closer look at all things course creation. 

Next week we’ll be running a webinar with Totara’s own Elearning Developer extraordinaire Jordan Ash. If you’ve taken any Academy courses then you’ll have seen some of Jordan’s great work. 

If you’re a Course Creator who is new to Totara and you want to learn how to start making great courses then we're running a webinar for you. We’ll cover the basics of course creation including:

  • How to set up a course from scratch

  • How to add content and activities to your course

  • How to enrol learners and trainers in your course

  • How to create a course template to speed up development

Time and date:  18 January, 4 PM London / 11 AM New York

Upcoming webinar: 

25 January - Building a Unified Talent Experience - Skills Strategy for an Exponential Age

The skills you have today are not the skills you need tomorrow. Our work environments are changing profoundly and at a pace that demands new learning models and capabilities. This requires immediate action from the whole HR function, working in new ways, using new technology and processes.

Join Lars Hyland, Managing Director EMEA Totara to explore how to: 

  • Build more flexible, adaptable people who can perform well in the face of constant change 

  • Design action learning experiences that foster the agile collaboration required to remain competitive

  • Align learning, engagement and performance management practices to deliver a friction-free talent experience for your people
