Overview: Training managers must understand the distinction between creating learning content and assigning it to learners. This is key to effectively managing your team’s development.
The difference between creating and assigning content
In Flow Learning, there are two primary aspects that training managers need to understand: creating learning content and assigning that content to learners. These two distinct processes are fundamental to managing employee development and ensuring that training goals align with organisational objectives.
While the content creation process allows for the design and customisation of training resources, the assignment process focuses on delivering these resources to the appropriate learners for completion and review.
Creating Content in Flow Learning
Flow Learning offers a suite of tools that allow you to create tailored content for different learning and development needs. Whether you’re building a new workbook, setting up an appraisal, or designing an interactive training module, the platform provides various resources for crafting dynamic and engaging materials.
The creation process typically involves using easy-to-navigate screens where you can add titles, descriptions, multimedia elements, and custom settings. For example, when creating a new workbook, managers can upload guidance documents, set up sign-off settings, define categories, and add sections that assess learner comprehension.
For specific types of contents, the system also allows for the inclusion of external links, PDFs, images, and other resources, providing a comprehensive learning experience.

Assigning Content to Learners
Once content is created, the next step is to assign it to the appropriate learners. This process involves determining which learners or groups should receive the training and setting due dates for its completion.
The purpose of this process is to deliver the right content to the right learners at the right time, ensuring that each individual or team has access to the training they need.
For example, when assigning a Workbook or any other content through the Assign Learning screen, you are allowed to select the specific content and the due date. You can assign one or more resources to one or multiple learners at the same time.

Notes: There are additional ways of assigning content to learners. Depending on the specific content you want to assign, you can refer to additional guides in Flow Learning > Development / Développement / Desarrollo or Flow Learning > Learning / Formation / Formación.
