Oracle Learning Communities

Communities are places where members have access to a specific part of the learning catalog. These places can also let members interact with each other regarding that content. Communities can range from collaborative to formal, and can include assignments.

Here are examples of different learning communities:

• A learning administrator creates a management community and assigns it to members with manager roles and jobs.
• A department head creates a facilities community for the whole organization to help members gain knowledge. The community focuses on specific areas, such as OSHA compliance, hazardous waste handling, and ergonomic best practices.
• A domain expert creates a development community as a central place from which to distribute the newest, relevant tools, standards, and guidelines. Members regularly participate in discussions about these areas and share their personal experiences.
• A technical team leader creates a tech community with their team as members. These members can publish their insights in the community and exchange interesting work-related articles, videos, and learning journeys.

You set the privacy level and specify whether members can contribute to the community when you create a community. You can also add related materials that you can't include in the community catalog. To edit the definition and manage assignments, the catalog, conversations, and membership, you click the name of an existing community. The characteristics that you can set depend on the type of community.
