Managing OpenSesame Content in Learn Amp

Overview

Once OpenSesame content has synced into Learn Amp, you can manage it just like any other content in your library. This includes adjusting visibility, adding content to learnlists, and curating what your learners see.

This article covers the key ways to work with your OpenSesame content after it's been imported.

Functionality Breakdown

OpenSesame content appears in Learn Amp as standard e-learning items. This means you have full access to Learn Amp's content management features:

• Visibility controls – Decide who can see each piece of content

• Learnlist inclusion – Add OpenSesame content to curated learning paths

• Search and discovery – Learners can find content through search and recommendations

• Reporting – Track completions and engagement like any other content

How to Identify OpenSesame Content

OpenSesame items can be identified by:

• The source type showing as OpenSesame in the item details

• The content launching in Learn Amp's built-in e-learning player

• The external image URL pointing to OpenSesame's servers

Quick Start Guide

By default, OpenSesame content is visible to your entire company. To change this:

1. Navigate to Library and find the OpenSesame item

2. Click on the item to open its details

3. Select Edit to modify the item

4. Find the Visibility settings

5. Choose from:

   • Hidden – Only admins can see the item

   • Selected users – Specific individuals can access it

   • Groups – Members of selected groups can see it

   • Teams – Members of selected teams can access it

   • Everyone – All users at your company (the default)

6. Save your changes

Adding Content to a Learnlist

To include OpenSesame content in a curated learning path:

1. Go to Library > Learnlists

2. Open the learnlist you want to add content to (or create a new one)

3. Click Add Item

4. Search for the OpenSesame course by title

5. Select the item and add it to the learnlist

6. Arrange the order as needed

7. Save the learnlist

Finding OpenSesame Content

To locate OpenSesame content in your library:

1. Navigate to Library

2. Use the search bar to find content by title or keyword

3. Filter by item type (E-learning) to narrow results

4. OpenSesame items will appear alongside your other e-learning content

Visibility Best Practices

When to Restrict Visibility

Consider restricting OpenSesame content visibility when:

• The content is only relevant to specific roles or departments

• Your OpenSesame licence covers a subset of users

• You want to create targeted learning experiences

• The content is being tested before wider rollout

Managing Licence Compliance

If your OpenSesame licence doesn't cover all Learn Amp users:

1. Identify which users should have access

2. Create a group containing those users

3. Set visibility on OpenSesame content to that group only

4. This ensures only licensed users can access the content

Tip: Consider creating an "OpenSesame Licensed Users" group to make visibility management easier.

Working with Archived Content

When content is deactivated in OpenSesame, it's automatically archived in Learn Amp. Archived content:

• Is no longer visible to learners

• Retains all historical completion data

• Can be found by admins in the archived items view

• Cannot be unarchived (since the source content no longer exists)

To view archived OpenSesame items:

1. Go to Library

2. Use filters to show Archived items

3. Archived OpenSesame content will appear with other archived items

Curating OpenSesame Content

Creating Topic-Based Collections

Organise OpenSesame content by topic for easier discovery:

1. Create learnlists for specific themes (e.g., "Leadership Development", "Technical Skills")

2. Add relevant OpenSesame courses to each learnlist

3. Set appropriate visibility on the learnlists

4. Feature key learnlists on your homepage or in carousels

Highlighting Key Content

To promote important OpenSesame courses:

• Feature them in homepage carousels

• Include them in onboarding programmes

• Add them to required learning paths

• Recommend them to specific user groups
