Understanding New Learn Dashboard
We've designed a new homepage for our learning platform to make finding and continuing your educational journey easier and more engaging. With five distinct sections, our updated homepage layout offers a clear and organized overview of all the courses available to learners, including those you've started, planned to tackle, or completed.
This article will guide you through the features of our new homepage, highlighting how it's structured to help you make the most of your learning experience. Let's explore the changes and how they can benefit your journey towards knowledge and growth.
New Homepage Sections
The new homepage consists of five primary sections. For each section, the learner is provided with a total number of courses within each section and a carousel view that allows them to side-scroll through all of their courses. Additionally, each section has a 'View All' button that allows you to view all of their courses for that given section on one page. Courses are displayed via 'Course Cards' representing individual courses available to the trainee.
Below is a rundown of each section, what courses are displayed in each, and course card information pertaining to the course section:
