Add skills to a course

  • Updated

This feature requires the Skills solution. For more information, contact your Customer Success Partner (CSP).

Admins, editors, and contributors can add skills to a course.

Adding skills to a course will automatically suggest co-authors.

Activate AI to automatically add skills to a course

Contact your Client Success Partner (CSP) to activate AI to automatically add skills to courses.

When this is activated, skills are automatically added to courses based on the course title and description. Admins, editors, and contributors can then define the level for the skill on that course.

Skills added by AI (and that do not have a level) are indicated  by the AI.svg icon.

This applies to internal and external courses.

Add skills manually to a course

Admins, editors, and contributors can manually add skills to a course (they can also add skills to a path →). The list of available skills is defined by admins.

Adding skills to a course will add it to the list of recommended training for that skill.

  1. At the top of the homepage, click Courses.
  2. On the right of the course row, click pen.svg Edit.
  3. In the section Skills, click + Add a skill.
  4. Browse the library or search for a skill.
  5. On the right of the skill, click + Add.
  6. On the right of the skill, click pen.svg Edit level.
  7. Select a level.
  8. On the bottom right, click Apply.

Users will see the skills associated to the course in the homepage of the course, along with its level if it has one.

Although platform admins can also add skills to courses from the same interface where they would create skills, we recommend not to do that, and only adding skills to courses from the courses edition screen. This will ensure everyone sees the same list of skills.

Edit the level of a skill in a course

Admins, editors, and contributors can edit the level of a skill in a course.

  1. At the top of the homepage, click Courses.
  2. On the right of the course row, click pen.svg Edit.
  3. In the section Skills, hover over a skill, then click pen.svg Edit.
  4. Select a level.
  5. On the bottom right, click Apply.

Skills added by AI have no level by default, and have the AI.svg icon on the left of their name. Once an admin, an editor or a contributor selects a level, the AI.svg icon disappears.

Remove a skill from a course

Admins, editors, and contributors can remove skills from a course.

If you remove a skill added by AI, that skill will not be added to the course anymore.

  1. At the top of the homepage, click Courses.
  2. On the right of the course row, click pen.svg Edit.
  3. In the section Skills, hover over a skill, then click bin.svg Remove.
