How to Customize Learner Hub for Specific Learners
You can deliver a distinct, tailored Learner Hub experience to each learner group using Group Experiences on Thinkific Plus. It's made up of two components that work together: a custom catalog (a curated list of products for a group) and a learner hub version (branded logo, colors, and navigation for a group) - without standing up a separate Thinkific site.
Learn more about it here: Group Experiences: Branded Learner Hub Experiences for Every Group.
Previewing the Learner Hub
To verify what your Learner Hub looks like, we recommend previewing it. You can do so by following these instructions:
- From your Admin Dashboard, select Learner Hub
- At the top, select Preview as a learner
- If using group experiences, toggle between different versions to see how each Learner Hub version looks
Note that as an admin, you will see all of the products listed in both the Library tab and the Catalog page, even when previewing. This is the expected behaviour. Your learners will only see products they purchased or have access to, and they will see them on one or the other page.
If you want to preview the full experience, create a test learner user.
Frequent Customization Scenarios
I want to simplify my Learner Hub
The Learner Hub offers the flexibility to create an experience that fits your learner journey. If they find the experience overwhelming, you can simplify it by:
For example, you can remove all navigation pages and leave only the Home page.
I want to make different navigation items available in the Learner Hub
You can change what navigation items are available in the Learner Hub by:
I want to replace what page learners see first when they log in
You can change what page your learners see when they log in. By default, learners land on the Home page.
I want to change what appears on the Home page
You can change what widgets appear on the Home page by:
I want to add more information to my Home page
You can add various widgets to the Home page to customize it. You can do it by:
I want my Learner Hub to appear in a language other than English
You do not need to make any changes to make the Learner Hub available in a language other than English. When viewing the Learner Hub from the admin view, you will see the Hub in English, consistent with the rest of the admin dashboard. However, your students will see the Learner Hub in your site language or the language of their choice, if they have chosen to override it.
Important Considerations
- Changes published in any customization area take effect immediately for all learners.
- Style changes (primary color and font) will also apply to the Course Player and the Thinkific Mobile App.
- Default navigation items (Library, Communities, Events, etc.) can be renamed, reordered, and hidden. Note that they appear dynamically based on each learner's purchases and access, so even when added, they might not be available to learners who do not have access to a corresponding product.
- The Learner Hub does not inherit your site's header or footer.
