Creating a Learnlist

Overview

Creating a Learnlist in Learn Amp lets you bundle multiple content items into a structured learning journey. Whether you're building an onboarding programme, compliance training, or a skills development path, Learnlists help guide learners through content in a logical sequence.

This article covers both methods for creating a Learnlist and walks through each step of the creation process.

Functionality Breakdown

When creating a Learnlist, you'll configure:

• Basic details: Title, description, and learning objectives

• Visual appearance: Tile image and colour scheme

• Structure: How learners progress through content (ordered or locked)

• Completion settings: Absolute or dynamic tracking, pass scores

• Visibility: Who can see and access the Learnlist

• Notifications: Who gets notified when learners complete it

Pre-requisites

Step-by-Step Creation Process

Step 1: Title and Content

• Enter a Name for your Learnlist

• Add a Description explaining what the Learnlist covers

• Complete the "What you will learn" section with bullet points outlining key learning objectives

• Optionally add a Short description for the tile preview

💡 Tip: Your "What you will learn" bullet points can guide how you structure the sections of your Learnlist later.

Step 2: Image and Colour

• Choose how to display the Tile image:

  • Use the first 4 item tiles automatically, or

  • Upload a custom image

• Select a Learnlist colour for the sidebar navigation

• Optionally enable a colour overlay on the tile

💡 Tip: Using your company branding colours helps learners recognise official training content.

Step 3: Tags and Structure

• Add Tags to make your Learnlist searchable

• Choose Completion calculation:

  • Absolute: Completion stays at 100% even if you add more content later

  • Dynamic: Completion adjusts when content is added or removed

• Set the Lock item order option:

  • Unchecked (Ordered): Items shown in sequence but learners can skip around (sidebar displayed)

  • Checked (Locked): Items must be completed in order (sidebar displayed, next items locked)

• Optionally set a Pass score (no pass score, auto-calculated, or manual)

• Choose whether to show a summary page at the end

Step 4: Visibility

• Set Visibility:

  • Hidden: Only visible for preview and editing

  • Only visible when assigned: Users must be assigned to see it

  • Everyone at [Company]: Searchable by all users

• Optionally set a Go-live date (when it becomes available)

• Optionally set an Expiry date (when it's automatically hidden)

Step 5: Extra Options

• Choose whether to Display "added by" to credit contributors

• Enable Additional Recommended Content section (optional items that don't affect completion)

• Configure Q&A, Discussion, and Reviews:

  • Enable Q&A for questions

  • Enable discussion for comments

  • Enable reviews (optionally show only internal ratings)

• Assign a Certificate to award upon completion

• Set up Completion notifications:

  • Don't notify anyone

  • Notify specific people (managers, admins, etc.)

• Configure Edit permissions (who else can edit this Learnlist)

1. Review all settings

2. Click Add Learnlist

3. You'll see a confirmation message

4. Start adding content to your Learnlist
