Getting Started With Schoox

The Organizational Structure is the foundation of how the members in your Academy are organized. It gives you flexible options to separate the members by their location, department, roles, and more. The Above Units and Units you use for your members are used all the time when assigning users to courses and learning paths, or to create automated rules based on a selection.

When new members are added to the Academy, they default to having the Learner role. This gives them all the access of a Learner. They can access public and assigned courses and learning paths, see their own progress, partake in social aspects in the Academy that are set up.

Depending on their responsibilities and the access they need, members can be given different roles, such as Admin, Training Manager, Content Manager or Professional Instructor. Roles open up more permissions specific to the role. For example, a Training Manager can be set to be able to assign courses and learning paths, or view the reporting.

Navigation is spread out over the different Workspaces. Which ones you have access to depends on your role and permissions within the Academy.

Learner: The Learner Workspace is the place to go to find your assigned training, check out library material, or check in on how you're doing as a learner. Everyone has access to the Learner Workspace.

Social: In the Social Workspace, you can read posts on the academy wall, or read your messages. You can check out the leaderboard, and if you’re a manager, create and distribute badges to those who earned them.

Team: The Team Workspace is all about taking care of your team through assignments, reports, and announcements.

Academy: The Academy Admin Workspace consists of the three main administration functions in your Academy:

• Academy Admin: The Academy Admin is reserved for the setup and maintenance of the academy itself. Here is where the administration of the academy is done, and administrators go here to set up and change settings relating to the academy. The organizational structure, members, branding, academy wide notifications, and academy settings are found here.
• Training Admin: The Training Admin is about the creation of training material and exams, as well as polls and notifications.
• Development Admin: The Development Admin is for the HR professional who needs to concentrate on how training can be organized to further learners in their career.

Business Impact: The Business Impact Workspace is where you can create and keep track of KPI's used by your organization.

 

Courses and Learning Paths are how the training in Schoox takes place. Courses are a collection of multiple lectures, which can be a mix of SCORM files, uploaded videos, linked videos, documentation, on-the-job trainings, and events. Often, the purpose of a course is to focus on one subject. Learning Paths are a collection of multiple courses, often to go deeper into a specialized route.

Courses and Learning Paths are created using the Training Admin in the Academy Workspace and assigned using the Team Workspace. Learners can then find and take them using the Learner Workspace.
