The author role in Workleap LMS allows you to solicit the help of additional people to create the course plans and integrate content.
Although the training creation must be initiated by a user with an appropriate role level, an author can independently create/modify the content of the training.
You can add an unlimited number of authors to a course.
Course authors are a great way to accelerate content creation for various use cases:
Succession planning: Calling in your key employees to quickly document what they feel is critical information or processes that are currently not documented within the business
Upskilling/reskilling: Facilitate lunch and learn or mentoring opportunities between colleagues
Operational procedures: Build ownership of processes by adding subject matter experts to operational trainings and how-to's
Content update management: Share and decentralize course content maintenance responsibilities with key members of your organization
An author can:
Modify the course outline
Create and edit lessons
However, an author cannot:
Edit general course details and settings
Publish or unpublish a course
View user progress information associated with training
Add an author to a course
Under the "Authors" tab of the course builder, you can assign one or more users as additional course authors
When a user is added as an author, they will now be able to access the "Content > Manage Course > Syllabus" tab in order to access the "plan" tab of your training editor.
