Publishing learning content in JollyDeck Create: share via private link

JollyDeck Create lets you publish courses and tests directly from the Content Editor and share them with selected learners via a private link.

This publishing option includes automated system communications, basic learning analytics and a learner feedback channel, allowing you to invite learners, track their progress and collect feedback in one place.

Watch the video below for a complete walkthrough of publishing content via a private link, including inviting learners, the learner experience, managing published learning and tracking analytics.

Read on for step-by-step instructions on this publishing workflow.

Who can access learning shared via a private link?

Only invited learners can access your published content.

If an invited learner doesn’t have a JollyDeck account yet, they’ll receive a personalised registration link. Once registered, they can access the content through the Learner app. Learners can only access published learning they’ve been invited to.

The number of learners you can invite depends on your account plan:

• Free account: Up to 5 users.
• Professional account: Up to 50 users.

How to invite learners via a private link

1. Open your content in the Content Editor.
2. Click the blue Publish button in the top toolbar.
3. Select the Invite users to the learning tab.
4. Click Invite users.
5. Enter the learner’s email address and click + Add user.
6. Customise the invitation message.
7. Click Confirm to send the invitation.

Once invited, the learner will appear in the list at the bottom of the screen.

Learners receive an email invitation as soon as you add them to your published content.

The invitation includes your custom message and a link automatically generated by JollyDeck:

• New users receive a personalised registration link to create their JollyDeck account.
• Existing users receive a direct link to the published content.

After clicking the link and completing registration (if required), learners are taken to the cover page of your content in the Learner app, where they can start learning.

Managing published learning content

To manage learners and track their activity, go to Publish > Invite users to the learning.

Here, you’ll find a list of invited learners with the following information:

• Invitation date: When the learner was invited.
• Last activity: When the learner last accessed the content.
• Progress: How far the learner has progressed through the content.
• Feedback: Comments submitted by the learner.

You can invite additional learners at any time. To manage existing learners, select the checkboxes next to their names and choose one of the following actions from the toolbar above the list:

• Resend invitation: Edit the invitation message and resend it to the selected learners.
• Reset learning: Reset the learner’s progress and activity, allowing them to start again. The learner won’t be notified automatically, so you’ll need to resend the invitation manually if required.
• Remove from the list: Remove the learner’s access to the content. All their learning records, comments and ratings will be permanently deleted.
