Learner-created content (Assets) allows learners to share their own knowledge and expertise with other members of their organization. Learners can create and share documents, presentations, videos, or audio files that they have found valuable. Leveraging the knowledge held within an organization allows all members of the business to benefit from the experience of others and to easily disseminate this throughout the business.

Learner-created content allows learners to create their own informal learning items. These uploaded items go through an approval process and can then be managed as an asset. Learners will be able to create additional content types in future releases.

A user with Account Owner access can enable the ability for learners to upload content at: Account settings,>Features,>Assets,>Enable Assets,>Enable Learner Content Creation,>Save,>Now click ‘Promote User for Notification’ to select specific Account Owners and Admins to receive an email with a link to Approve the user’s upload. Once approved, the asset will be available for view/download by other learners.
