When learners aren't sure which Course to play, or they want to focus on a particular theme, they can choose to look for learning content by a specific Category

Categories are a way to group and identify Courses. Use them to sort your content and make it easy for learners to find exactly what they're looking for!

Naming your Category

Ask yourself:

  • "What do my Courses have in common?"

Let's say you have the following Courses available:

  • "Hedge Maintenance"

  • "Growing Flowers"

  • "Finding the Right Gardening Tools"

  • "Gardening 101"

Notice how they all have a common theme? That's your Category:

  • Gardening

By using Categories, learners looking for Gardening-related material would find all the Courses linked to it. Neat!

Deciding on a Category's Courses

Just like when you name your Category, find the Category that fits the Course theme best.

You created a new Course on Lawn Care?

  • relevant category = Gardening

  • irrelevant category = Plumbing; Cooking

But what if a Course can be in two Categories?

Since Categories are the result of breaking topics down to their bare basics, a Course will rarely be applicable to more than one.

If that somehow happened to you:

  • revisit Category names to confirm they were broken down (e.g. "Lawn Maintenance" is part of Gardening - this is a Course idea!)

  • revisit Course names to confirm they make sense
