Understanding the Learning Catalog

The learning catalog is a repository of detailed information about all classes and programs that are available to your organization's employees, partners, and customers. You can use the Find Learning (LM_FIND_LEARNING) component to search the catalog for relevant classes and programs:

The categories, classes, and programs that learners can view depend on the learner groups to which the user belongs. These groups are defined as part of the system setup. For example, a user who belongs to a learner group called Sales might be able to view all classes related to sales, but not access information for engineering classes.

Users can select items from the catalog to add to their personal learning plans; they can also initiate the enrollment process directly from the catalog. If users are unable to locate classes or programs that meet a particular need, they can submit a learning request from the catalog. Learning requests help administrators assess the demand for new offerings and notify learners as offerings become available.
