Organising Content with Learnlists and Channels

Organising Content with Learnlists and Channels

Overview

Learn Amp offers three key ways to group and organise content: Learnlists, Channels, and Libraries. Each method is designed to help Admins and Learners easily navigate and engage with content such as Items, Assessments, and Surveys. These flexible structures mirror familiar formats like playlists and streaming services to make content consumption intuitive and enjoyable.


Learnlists

Learnlists are collections of learning content—like playlists for learning. They can include Items, Assessments, Surveys, and more.

Key Features

  • Customisable titles, images, and descriptions

  • Can lock item order so users have to complete one item before progressing to the next

  • Easy editing with drag and drop (beta)

Types of Learnlists

1. Unlocked Learnlists

Use this format when content does not need to be completed in a specific order.

Design Features:

  • Left-hand navigation panel

  • 'Next item' arrows for smooth progression

2. Locked Learnlists

Users must complete each item in order to unlock the next. Perfect for compliance or mandatory training.

Design Features:

  • Enforced sequential path

  • Progress tracking

 


Channels

Channels present learning content in a visually engaging, carousel-style format—similar to streaming platforms.

Key Features

  • Combine Items, Learnlists, Quizzes, Surveys, and more

  • Fully customisable labels and layouts

Channels are used to surface specific content types or themes to different user groups.

Example Channel Uses

  • "Recommendations" (AI-driven suggestions based on user preferences)

  • "Shares" (user-shared content)

  • "Liked" (content a user has liked)

  • Role- or department-specific Channels
