To access Learning Search, go to LEARNING > LEARNER HOME.

Configure the Learning Search filters by visiting Learning Search Preferences. To access Learning Search Preferences, go to ADMIN > TOOLS > LEARNING > LEARNING PREFERENCES > LEARNING SEARCH PREFERENCES.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Before this feature, only the Modality filter could be enabled or disabled based on the administrator's wishes. After this release, the following filters can be enabled or disabled: Duration, Types, Subjects, Rating, Provider, Language, Mobile Enabled, and Skills (Capabilities).

When a filter is disabled, any link to the search page with that filter applied no longer displays the filter and the filter is not applied.

No. The Skills (Capabilities) Filter which was first introduced in the July ’23 Release as a brand new Learning Search filter is still considered as an Early Adopter.

No. No changes are being announced other than the Filter Configuration that is Generally Available (GA). All filters, except Skills (Capabilities), are enabled by default. Customers can disable the filters not in use on their portal, or re-enable the filters that were previously disabled. If you have already configured a filter to be enabled or disabled, that setting will continue to be respected. Cornerstone will make no configuration changes.
