Use Case: Adding External Content to Playlist
Jen is a Regional Sales Manager at ACME Corporation. She has various accolades and her colleagues often ask her for advice and guidance on how to build a successful career path. Jen is eager to help others, so she creates a playlist of learning objects from the internal catalogs with her recommendations for "Foundational Sales Skills." She begins to distribute the playlist, but her colleagues continue to ask: "What else has helped you in your career? What type of content or courses are you taking outside of the training we have in the Learning Management System?"
Jen reviews her notes and finds other training that would help enhance her playlist. She adds her favorite sales podcast, "Sales Gravy," an article she read as an associate from Harvard Business Review, and a YouTube video on Soft Skills. All these additions are added to the playlist as external content. Her playlist followers love the new additions and the fact that Jen can continue to add compelling external content for them to consume. Jen likes that she can increase the reach of her knowledge in her organization with her playlist.
