Activity

The building blocks of courses in 360Learning. Each activity is an individual frame within a course.

• Documents
• Cheat sheets
• Questions
• Recordings

Admin

There are three different types, each with their own set of permissions:

• User Admin
• Group Admin
• Platform Admin

Catalog

A group's collection of content—such as courses and paths—available for its learners to access freely and at any time. Adding content to a catalog will automatically generate a post on the group's newsfeed to announce the presence of the new content. Not to be confused with the library.

Coach

Coaches oversee their group. They can:

• Create path sessions
• Share courses & paths
• Manage group newsfeeds
• Track group statistics
• Track course and path statistics (if they also have the editor role)
• Send reminders to users

Contributor

Contributors can create content, and update their own content. They can:

• Create courses
• Create paths
• Create path sessions
• Create projects & learning needs
• Moderate course forums and path forums
• Translate content (if they have the Globalization Solution)
• Track course and path statistics (if they also have the coach role)

Editor

Editors can create content, and update their own content and the content of their group. They can:

• Create courses
• Create paths
• Create path sessions
• Create projects & learning needs
• Moderate course forums and path forums
• Translate content (if they have the Globalization Solution)
• Track course and path statistics (if they also have the coach role)

Learner

Learners can play courses and paths. They can also:

• Search for content
• Use the mobile app
• Write in the forums and newsfeeds
• Bookmark content and create playlists
• Edit their personal settings

Library

A group's shared repository of content among editors and coaches. Content in the library can be used to build paths or shared with groups' catalogs. Not to be confused with the catalog.

Manager

Managers have extended permissions over specific users, regardless of those users’ groups. They can:

• Track statistics for their managees
• Send reminders to their managees
• Manage skills for their managees

Any user can be added as a manager.

Owner

Owners can do all that platform admins can, and also:

• Manage plans & billing
• Change the platform owner

There can be only one owner per platform.

Path

A training object made up of steps—such as courses, classrooms, other paths, or assessments—that guide learners through a topic. Steps can be completed in a linear or flexible order.

Path Session

A specific instance of a path, with a defined start date and an optional end date, used to enroll learners and track their progress within that path.

Platform Group

The top-level group of your 360Learning platform. It's the parent group for all the groups in your organization. In the left navigation sidebar, the icon of the platform group has a golden crown at the bottom right.

Reaction

After completing a course, users are able to leave feedback on a course by selecting one of the following reactions:

• I like it
• I learned something
• This is outdated
• I didn't get it.

The reactions can then be viewed under the course statistics.

Session

Can mean one of two things:

• A path session is a path happening in a defined time range.
• A browser session is a continuous period of connection to the platform.
