Add AI course tag recommendationsDid you know that from version 19, Totara includes an AI-powered course tag generator which can suggest tags based on course content? Rather than being a standard feature, this plugin serves as an example of what's possible when integrating AI into Totara. It showcases how AI can streamline processes and improve user experience, opening the door to further innovative applications. This customisable integration requires configuration by a Totara Partner and an OpenAI account to implement. Learn more about this capability in the Academy's Courses and categories course. |
Add catalogue blocksCatalogue blocks, introduced in version 19, can be added to the catalogue, dashboards and any page where blocks are enabled. Catalogue blocks can be added to showcase specific learning content, or to create tailored experiences, like a Beginner catalogue block for new hires, making it easier for learners to find content relevant to them. Explore different use cases for catalogue blocks in the Catalogue and Dashboards and basic theming Academy courses. Additionally, take a look at how we've used catalogue blocks in the Academy catalogue itself! |
