LearnWorlds acknowledges the uniqueness of every learner, whether they are an employee, a client, a partner, or a student. Each individual has their specific requirements, preferences, and goals. To tailor the user experience for each person, we provide three distinct features: User Groups, Multiple Seats, and User Tags. In this article, we will explore the distinctions between these features and provide insights on how to make the most out of them.
Multiple Seats
Multiple Seats is a B2B toolkit product that enables you to offer multiple courses to a group of learners by handing over the management of this group to your B2B clients.
With Multiple Seats Offering, you can select: courses included in the offering, the number of seats available for the organization, the maximum number of users that can be part of this Seat Offering, and assign one or more Seat Managers to this offering.
The Seat Manager will be able to add users to the offering and manage their accounts, enrollments, and progress.
Seat Offerings vs. Seats
A Seat Offering is a separate product mainly consisting of courses and seats. The Seat offering defines the specific courses that are included in this product as well as the number of seats that are available for use.
A Seat is a virtual chair and defines the number of users that are allowed to be simultaneously enrolled in the courses included in the Seat Offering. This means that the number of users enrolled in the courses of the Seat offering could be a lot more than the number of seats available, as the functionality allows multiple turnovers of the seats.
The Multiple Seats Offering system is not connected to the Payment Gateways of your school; hence, you cannot receive payments via the LearnWorlds school for a Seat Offering. To receive payments, you can use external payment methods like wire transfers or via your PayPal/Stripe accounts outside of LearnWorlds.User groups
With User Groups, you can create distinct groups within your school. These groups come with automatic group member addition rules, courses for auto-enrollment, and a custom navigation flow (after-login page) for each group. The functionality doesn’t include Seats as in the Multiple Seat Offering, however, there is a max number of members that can be set.
For each User Group, a dedicated Group Manager can be assigned to oversee group members and track their progress.
Also, User Groups are differentiated from the Multiple Seats by the extra functionality to create automated user addition rules based on several attributes:
a. Email Domain: Add users based on their email domain. Input multiple email domains separated by commas.
b. Tags: Allocate users to groups based on tags.
c. Custom Sign-up Fields: Assign users to groups based on their responses in custom sign-up fields. For example, if a user answers 'A' in a particular sign-up field.
Besides the automated addition rules set by the Admin, the User Group Manager can also perform manual actions like adding/enrolling users individually or in bulk. This way, User Groups allow for organized management and monitoring of different user segments within your school, ensuring a streamlined and personalized user experience.
User Tags
The Tags feature in LearnWorlds is designed to provide a robust framework for categorizing users and leads. This categorization is crucial for enhancing communication, personalizing navigation, creating automations, tracking user and lead journeys, and analyzing performance. By utilizing Tags, school administrators can efficiently organize and manage the user/leads base, ensuring a well-structured and navigable learning environment and conversion journey for all users and leads.
Tags can be added to leads & users automatically based on:
- Form submission
- Custom Sign-up fields
- Payment Sections
- Assessment submission
- Automation rule
Tags can be used for:
- Page widgets\sections visibility
- Pop-ups visibility
- Custom after-login page
- User Automation
- Email communication (via Zapier automation with your email solution)
- Reporting insights on different tag audiences
This feature is essential for maintaining a clear, organized user management system within any school, making the task of monitoring and communicating with users and leads a more streamlined process.
