Collections overview

A collection allows you to group multiple related courses together into a single learning journey. It’s a great way to structure your content in a way that supports learner motivation, autonomy, and long-term knowledge retention.

Thinking about collections from the start helps you design smarter, more flexible learning experiences:

• A collection supports modular learning, making it easier for learners to jump in and out at their own pace.
• A collection helps you align with scaffolded design principles—where each course builds on the last, supporting deeper learning over time.
• Collections can make updating easier. You can improve one course in the collection without needing to rework the entire series.

Consider collections when transforming your document into a course:

Let’s say you’ve got a long document with several chapters or topics. Instead of stuffing all that content into one course, you can break it up into focused smaller courses, and then organize those into a collection. This is important to consider when transforming your document into a course, because it might be best to break your document into multiple smaller documents before transforming.

Example:

Imagine you have a 100-page onboarding document that covers everything from company values and policies to tools, workflows, and team introductions. Instead of transforming the entire document into one long course, you could split it into smaller documents like:

• Welcome & Company Culture
• Tools & Tech Setup
• Policies & Compliance
• Your First Week

Then, you can transform each of those into separate courses and group them into a single Onboarding Collection. This approach improves learner focus, makes tracking progress easier, and allows each topic to shine on its own.
