The first step to start generating your new training content is to create a Sprint. Sprints are the basic units of content in LMS, similar to a lesson within a curriculum, or a simple workshop: can be as long as you want can be divided into thematic blocks is divided into activities of different types these activities can be evaluable or simply for consultation The union of different Sprints is what will allow you to later create the Channels with more complex formations. Who can create Sprints Creating and editing Sprints, like many other functions of Learning Manager, is conditioned to the user profile you have. The creator of this content should be users with Author access, although an Administrator can also do so. Group Administrators and Validators do not have permission to create Sprints, although they can review the content of those already created. If you want to know more about user access in Learning Manager, you can check this article. From the release of version 5.26 (February 8th, 2023) it has been fixed that users with author role can view or edit Sprints and Channels created by other authors. From this release onwards, they will only be able to view in their workspace the contents created by themselves. However, it is still possible to access other Sprints or Channels if you have the direct link (URL). In order for an author to be able to freely access the rest of the contents of other authors, it is necessary to give him the role of general administrator, although this implies giving him access to the rest of the functionalities for this type of role. In the case of users with a group administrator role, they don’t have access to the contents of authors belonging to a group, even if they are designated as the administrator of the group itself. Trainings must be managed by general administrator roles. These changes do not impact instances that have the multi-organization functionality enabled. Thanks to it, catalogs can be created and Sprints and Channels can be added to them, so that all authors and group administrators can have access to the contents. How to create a Sprint To start creating training content, log into the instance with your user and access the Learning Manager tool. By default the platform takes you directly to the Learning section, where the Sprints are created and managed. To create a new Sprint click on the + button located in the lower right corner, which displays a side menu. New Sprint Menu This menu will help you to configure the basic details and specifications of the Sprint, from title and header image, to Gamification. Image All Sprints must have a header image, which is the one that will be shown in the thumbnails of the Learning Manager, and on the cover of the Sprint in My Learning. The system assigns a default image, which can be modified by clicking on the Edit image button located at the bottom of it. A new side menu is displayed where you can choose the new image through the options in the two tabs at the top. My Images: choose this option to use your own image, which can be uploaded from your computer by clicking on the cloud icon, or by selecting one of the previously uploaded images that appear at the bottom of the menu. Remember that the image you upload to the platform must meet the specifications: JPG, PNG or GIF format. Minimum width size of 1,000 pixels. Maximum weight of 3 megabytes Online Gallery: if you do not have a suitable image, you can do a direct search in the Unsplashonline image bank. Select this tab and enter some keywords in the search bar for the tool to show you related images. Images provided by Unsplash can be used free of charge for commercial and non-commercial purposes. After selecting the image, remember to click the ADD button at the top right to save your changes. Header In the first fields of the form, enter the basic data of the Sprint: Title: phrase that heads the Sprint. This field is mandatory. Description: a brief explanation of the content of the Sprint content. Estimated time: an approximation of the minutes it takes to complete the Sprint. Default language: the language in which you are going to write the Sprint. This is a mandatory field. Tags In this section you can assign Tags to the Sprint, to expand its description and make it easier to search on the platform. In the field "Search or create tags" enter the keywords you want. If the tag already exists, it will appear on the screen so you can select it. If not, press the Enter key and a new tag is created. To remove a tag click on the X next to it. Catalogs If you have created Catalogs in your instance, using the tool within the Configuration section, you can assign the Sprint to any of them. This will facilitate not only their search, but the subsequent management of the studentTrainings. In the "Search catalogs" field, enter the keywords and a list of all related catalogs will appear. Look for the one you want and select it. To deselect it click on the X next to it. Assessment In this field you can specify the cut-off score of the Sprint. When you later create the Sprint Activities , you will see that you can give a score to the student for completing them. This option allows you to specify how many total points must be achieved to successfully pass the Sprint. To do this, activate the option and determine the amount. If you disable this option there will be no cut-off score for the Sprint. Gamification awards All LMS contents can be Gamified, they have the option of awarding points and badges to the student for completing the trainings. These will be displayed on your public profile and will make you move up positions in the global ranking of the platform. In this section you can specify the points and badges to be awarded to the learner for successfully completing the Sprint. To do this, enter the numerical amount in the "Sprint Points" field, and click on + Select a badge, which displays a new menu with all the available badges. Additional info These last fields allow you to expand the description of the Sprint, detailing its classification and making the subsequent search even easier. In each field you can specify the available values. Remember that these fields can be created and configured through the tool available in the Configuration section. For more information see this article. Once you have completed all the fields, click on the √ SAVE & GO TO EDITOR button to create the new Sprint and start developing its content.

As you move forward in the development of our platform training, contents becomes more and more extensive and varied. It is often complex to keep that content organized, and above all easily accessible. To make it easier for trainers and administrators to quickly find the Sprints they are looking for, LMS offers a number of tools for searching and sorting content. One of the most useful is Extended Fields. It is basically a series of categories that you can create and customize to label the Sprints. Not only do they serve to identify the courses more specifically, but it will help us to quickly find the Sprints you want thanks to the filter in the search bar of the Learning section. Extended Fields Menu Creation and editing of the extended fields is only available to users with Administrator access, since it's necessary to access the Configuration section of the Learning Manager. This tool is located in one of the tabs of the Configuration menu. To access it, go to Learning Manager and click on the cogwheel icon at the top right. Configuration side menu is displayed, and among the tabs at the top center, look for the Extended Fields. In this tab there are have four elements: Search field (top), which allows us to quickly locate any of the categories created. Click on this bar, type the keywords and press the Enter key so that the list shows all the related fields. List(center), a list of all existing fields, divided into rows, identified by three values: Title, the name of the field.  Type, what kind of value it is. Values, options, or default response that each field gives. New field (+ button   in the lower right corner), used to create a new Extended Field. Options (three dots to the right of each row), clicking here displays a menu that allows us to edit the existing fields, or delete them from the platform. Create an Extended Field Clicking on the + button displays three options to choose, corresponding to the three types of Extended Fields that can be created: String: simply a free field where the Sprint author can enter any phrase or value he wants. Clicking on this option displays a new side menu to edit this new text field. The values that you can modify are: Field title, the name with which it will be displayed. Default value, if you want to assign a value to appear in the field when it is left blank. Visible, check this box if you want the field to be visible. Date: use this extended field for the Sprint author to enter any date in the calendar, whether it is the Sprint creation date, expiration date... As before, clicking on it displays a side menu with the same three options. List: this is a closed field type, not open to any value like the previous ones, which allows us to create a list of options for the author to choose from. Clicking on this option you will see a new menu, where in addition to the same previous options, you can enter the options to choose from, entering the description in the Values box, and clicking on the + y - to add or remove options. The row of dots next to each option allows us to change its position in the list, and you can also make one of the options appear by default by checking the box at the top of the list. Apply the Extended Fields Once you have created your Extended Fields, it will appear in the menu of new Sprint as an option for the author to tag these new contents, under the Additional Info section. They are optional, they are not mandatory. And they can be applied not only to new contents, but also to existing ones, using the Edit Details option in the drop-down menu of each Sprint. In the same way, at any time you can go back to the editing menu of the Extended Fields to modify their values, and these changes will be reflected immediately in the Sprints. Search by Extended Fields One of the major advantages provided by Extended Fields is to be able to use them when finding a specific content, making the search easier. If you go to the Learning page, you can see that in the search bar there is one of the options marked Extended Fields Filter, represented by the funnel icon. Clicking on it displays a side menu where you can see all the available Extended Fields. Look for the values you want to filter by, select them and click on the APPLY button. The platform shows us all the Sprints that are tagged with the categories you have selected.

Once you have created a new Sprint, even if it doesn't have activities, it appears in the Learning section of the Learning Manager tool. In the thumbnail of each Sprint you can see its title, cover image, its Author, date of the last modification... and three points that displays the options menu to edit it. The options are: Edit Details Displays the same side menu that you used when creating a new Sprint to assign the title, cover image, description... You can modify these characteristics at any time, but with limitations. Some options cannot be changed if the Sprint is published, as they would affect the student experience. These are: Default language, this particular feature can be changed if you first unpublish the Sprint. When you republish it will keep the same status, but with the new language assigned. Catalogs and Assessment, these two features can only be modified if the Sprint has never been published. Even if you unpublish it, as in the previous case, they cannot be changed. The only way to do this is to create a new Sprint with the same content, using the Duplicate option, which we will see later. Compose Gives you access to the Sprints Editor page, where you can create and modify Mission Blocks and Activities, and the list of Trainings of the Sprint. To know more about this tool, you can check this article. Preview Takes you to a new page with a preview of how the published Sprint looks like from the student's point of view. In addition to the layout of the elements, you can test the functioning of the Activities, the response will be the same as the student will have. To return to the Learning Manager, click on Go back to list in the bottom green bar. Publish/Unpublish In case the Sprint has never been published or if it is unpublished, this option allows you to publish it. This step is essential in order to start creating Trainings and assign the training content to the students. If the Sprint is published, this option allows you to unpublish it in order to make changes to its settings or content. Lock edition Not available if the Sprint is published. As the Author of a Sprint you can lock it so that no other author in your organization or group can modify it. When a Sprint is locked, a padlock icon appears on its thumbnail. To unlock a Sprint again, click on the Unlock edition option in the three-dot menu. This option will lock the Sprint for other authors, but users with General Administrator access will still be able to edit it. Hide Not available if the Sprint is published. As the Author of a Sprint you can hide it so that no other author in your organization or group can see it. When a Sprint is hidden, the icon of a crossed-out eye icon appears in its thumbnail. To make a Sprint visible again, go inside the Sprint and click on the Restore visibility option in the three-dot menu. This option will hide the Sprint from other authors, but users with General Administrator or Group Administrator access will still be able to see it. New Training Not available if the Sprint is not published. Once you have your training content ready and the Sprint is published, use this option to start creating Trainings and share the training content with the students. Duplicate This option allows you to create an exact copy of any Sprint, including its settings and content, whether it is published or not. Clicking on it displays the same side menu of New Sprint, where you can modify the basic characteristics, and see a list with all the Activities it contains. The status of the duplicated Sprint will be the same of a new Sprint that has not yet been published. Eliminate Not available if the Sprint is published. Through this option you will permanently delete the Sprint from the platform, along with all its content and Trainings. This action is irreversible. A published Sprint cannot be deleted, as this would affect the student experience. To delete a published Sprint, first you must unpublish it.

When you create a new Sprint, or enter an existing one from the Learning section, you access the Sprints Editor . From this page you can create the Activities or training content that will integrate your Sprint, and manage the Trainings for students. Interface The ← arrow at the top left allows you to exit the Editor and return to the Learning section. Next to it you see the title of the Sprint and a tag that tells you if the Sprint is Published or Unpublished. In the central part there is a navigation bar to switch between the two tools on this page: the Sprints Editor , and the Trainings manager. In the upper right corner you have several accesses: Order allows you to change the order in which the Mission Blocks and Activities are arranged. This option is disabled the first time the Sprint is published. Afterwards you will not be able to change it, even if you unpublish the Sprint. Preview allows you to preview the Sprint as the student will see it and test the functioning of the Activities, the evaluation and the rewards. The three dots display a menu with new options, some of which explained in this article: Edit details, to edit the title, cover image and other basic features of the Sprint. Manage translations, to add and edit translations of the Activities, as explained in this article. Publish/Unpublish, to change the status of the Sprint. Lock edition, to prevent other authors from modifying the Sprint. Duplicate, to create a copy of the Sprint. Delete, to delete the Sprint permanently. Finally in the central part of the screen is the space of the Editor itself, where you can create the Mission Blocks and Activities. Mission Blocks The first step to start developing content is to create Mission Blocks. These are headings with a small description that allow you to separate and better organize the different Activities, With this separation you can create thematic units within the Sprint itself, and get the student to better visualize their progress. To learn how to create and organize Mission Blocks, see this article. Activities Once you have created one or more Mission Blocks you can start developing the Activities, the main content of the Sprint. These are small units or exercises that you propose to the student, and that are distinguished mainly by their structure: they can be texts, diagrams, presentations, quizzes, videos, audios... All types of content develop the topic of the Sprint and help advance in the student's training. They can be merely informative, or interact with the student by posing challenges that he will have to overcome, and for which you can reward him. To learn how to create and develop the different types of Activities, see this section.

Once you have created a new Sprint, the first step is to generate Mission Blocks. These are headings with a short description that allow you to better separate and organize the different Activities. With this separation by Mission Blocks you will be able to create thematic units within the Sprint itself, and make the learner visualize its progress better. Any Activity of the Sprint must be within a mission block. Therefore, to start developing the content you must first create a mission block. Mission Block types When creating a new Sprint, the platform takes you directly to the Editor of the Sprint content. To create the first mission block, click on the + button located in the central part, which will display four options. Each one specifies a different position for the header image of the mission block: Top, maximized occupying the top Centered, scaled Left, scaled Right, scaled Once the header has been created, you can change this layout by clicking on the button with the screen icon in the upper right corner of the block. Mission Block header Once you have chosen the design, the next step is to fill in the basic block header fields: Name, the phrase that heads the block. Description, a brief explanation of its contents. Select image. In the same way that you choose a header image for the Sprint, you have the option to do so for each mission block. The platform assigns a default image, and clicking on the Add imageicon displays two options: Replace, to change it for another image. Delete, so that the mission block does not show any image, only the text and description. Once you have configured all the fields, click on the √ SAVE button in the lower right corner to create the new block. Or click CANCEL to return to the main editor screen without saving the changes. Create a Milestone When developing the contents of a Sprint you can create Milestones, or markers to allow access to new contents. The student will not be able to see these new blocks or activities if he/she has not previously completed others that you have marked. A mission block can also be a milestone. You can set that the student will not have access to this new block if he has not completed previous ones. To do this, click on the flag icon in the upper right corner, which displays a new menu to configure this milestone. To learn more about creating and editing milestones, see the article about editing Sprints. Not all activities are suitable for use with milestones, Text block and Images are not supported. If they are used within two mission blocks and you try to set milestones between them, they will be empty until you include in the initial one an activity compatible with milestones.
