Navigating Schoox as a Learner

Schoox uses workspaces to easily move between the options the academy has to offer. The workspaces are found in the left sidebar. As a learner, you will find the Learner Workspace and the Social Workspace accessible to you.

The Learner Workspace

The image above shows the options within the Learner Workspace. This workspace is used for anything related to you, as a learner, and where you will spend the most time.

Your Training
In the Training tab, you can find all information related to your training. Training can be one of the following things:
  • Courses
  • Learning Paths
  • On-the-Job Training
  • In-Class Events
  • Live Events
  • Microlearning

Courses are a set of lectures that you can follow on your computer or phone. The lectures can be a mix of videos, documents, external websites, On-the-Job Training, Events, Exams, etc. When you finish all lectures in a course, you will have completed this course.

Learning Paths are a collection of courses, and usually take longer to complete. When you finish all required courses in a Learning Path, you will complete the Learning Path.

On-the-Job Training is a task-list of items you need to do. This can be a homework assignment you need to upload, a sign-off that needs to be completed, a question you need to answer. After you fill out the On-the-Job training, your manager may need to sign-off as well before it is completed.

Events can be either In-Class or Live. In-Class Events are hosted on an external location, whereas Live Events are done virtually. These can be standalone, or part of a course or learning path.

Microlearning is like flashcards. New cards can be made accessible over a longer period of time, with questions thrown in to make sure you understand the content.

The Training tab, depending on the Academy Settings, can have the following options in the drop-down:

  • My Training
  • Catalog
  • Calendar
  • Onboarding

My Training shows you all your currently assigned training.

Catalog shows you all training available for you to enroll in.

Calendar is your Schoox Calendar. It shows upcoming events and deadlines.

Onboarding will only show if this is set up in the Academy. If you are enrolled in an onboarding profile, the information related to it shows up here.

Your Development
The Development tab tracks your progress on personal development skills within the Academy. What is visible under the Development tab depends on what your Academy Admins have set up. The following options may be found in the drop-down:
  • Career
  • Skills
  • Goals
  • Coaching

Career shows you the available Career Paths. It shows you which skills you would need to focus on, and in which training you can earn those skills.

Skills shows the skills in your Academy, whether they are required or not for your role, and which assessments you received.

Goals shows the goals you are assigned and your progress on them, as well as any completed or archived goals.

Coaching shows the coaching sessions you have had.

Note again that these options may not be available in your academy.

In the Resources Tab you can find public and personal resources. Maybe there is a video you think is useful, and want to upload there. Or maybe there is a document with more information that your company uploaded. This is where you go to access these resources.
 
Your Analytics
Your Analytics tracks your progress in the Academy for almost everything you do in it. How many courses have you completed? How much time did you spent in learning paths? Which compliance courses are still open? All those questions can be answered here!
 
Your ePortfolio
Your ePortfolio shows you how far you have come! Here you can find your active games, your Knowledge Profile, and your received certificates.

The Social Workspace

The other workspace available for learners is the Social Workspace. This one focuses on social aspects and friendly competition. Depending on what has been set up, you can find things like your Feed, Groups, and the Game Center here.

 

Your Feed

The Feed shows you updates and important announcements. Depending on the settings, you can leave messages on the feed, reply to messages, or react to messages.

Utilizing the Social Feed

Your Groups
Your Groups shows the groups you are enrolled in or can enroll in. Groups often created for a specific subject or role, and assignments for training can happen through groups.
 
Your Game Center
The Game Center shows the Leaderboards and Games, if those are set up in the Academy.
 
Leaderboards are set up in such a way that you can receive points for certain actions you take, such a completing a course, completing an exam, earning a skills, etc. You can see how you are doing compared to others.
Games are similar to leaderboards but work on an individual level. By completing certain actions, you can level up in games, earning badges to show your effort.
