Updates to the Side Navigation Menu
About This Update
The learning experience that you create for your audience is more than just your course. We've recently reorganized your Admin Dashboard to allow you to more easily build and manage your other learning products—like Communities, Memberships, and Bundles, alongside your Courses. This newly decluttered dashboard is now more intuitive to your workflow, so you can focus on creating a rich, engaging learning experience all in one place!
Manage Learning Products
The Manage Learning Content section has been re-named, and is now Manage Learning Products.
We've recently updated our terminology to include Learning products. This is a broad term that covers numerous products, including Courses, Communities, Memberships, and Bundles—because the learning experience you create is more than just your course!
You can see an example of this in the screenshot below, where the term Products is used to describe the courses contained within a bundle, under the Manage Learning Products, Courses menu:
Along with updating our terminology, we've also updated the side navigation menu title to Manage Learning Products. This title will reflect the wider scope of features available to help you deliver the best possible learning experience to your users!
Think of each product as a tool to help you create that learning experience—and we're giving you the whole toolbox, with courses, communities, memberships and bundles.
