Your Academy uses streams and gadgets to show you the information you are looking for. This article gives you a quick overview of the difference between the two, how to recognize them and find them, and how to navigate them.
Streams
Streams can be navigated from left to right and are in a set location on the page.
For example, under My Training you will find streams such as Training in Progress and Self enrolled. By clicking on the arrows on the top-right of the feed, you can browse through them. Streams give information relevant to the specific title.
Gadgets
Gadgets are blocks of information found on certain pages. Unlike streams, you can not browse further - all information on it is shown at a glance. If their are multiple gadgets on one page, you might be able to reorder their location.
For example, on the Home tab of the Academy - Training Admin workspace, you can find your calendar, whereas on the Home tab of Academy -> Academy Admin you will find your announcements.
Sidebar Gadgets
Most gadgets can be found on the sidebar on the right. The sidebar has gadgets such as Shortcuts, Bookmarks, Pending On-the-Job Training, Games, High Priority Announcements, Leaderboards, and more.
