Embedding links allows training administrators to incorporate external digital resources—such as online courses, knowledge bases, or shared drives—directly into their training programs. This means you no longer need to duplicate content or upload files separately, helping keep training materials current and comprehensive.
How to Use
- On your sidebar, go to the Training section
- Select the course you want to add the material to
- Go to the Material tab
- Click the Embed File option in the upper-right corner
- Paste the URL of the external resource (e.g., a knowledge base article, video course, or shared drive link)
- Add a clear title and description to help learners understand the content
- Save the changes to include the embedded resource in the training program
- Repeat as needed for other external materials
Use descriptive titles and summaries for embedded links so learners can quickly grasp what the resource covers.
Regularly review embedded links to ensure they remain accessible and up to date.
If embedded links are not loading correctly in the training program, you should verify that the URL is correct and publicly accessible or available to your organization’s users, as some platforms require login credentials that the system cannot bypass.
