Recommendations

Summary: Add tags to both the playlist and learning experiences to make recommendations appear in playlists. They will be ordered based on ratings.

Recommendations are learning experiences related to a playlist but not directly assigned to it. 

When a learner clicks VIEW ALL on a playlist they will be taken to a page where they'll also see any recommendations. They are sorted into learning experience types, e.g. Videos, Reading, etc.

 

Adding recommendations to a playlist

To add recommendations to a playlist open the settings of a playlist, scroll down to tags, and add a tag.

Make sure the tag or tags are related to the learning experiences you want to recommend.  To read more about tags, click here.

To add a learning experience to the recommendations, go to the learning experience settings and add a tag.

The way the learning platform orders recommendations is based on two things: freshness and score. 

Freshness

The freshness is based on the time when it was first rated or the most recent time it was tagged.

The scale is:

• Fresh - tagged or rated within the last 10 days

• New - tagged or rated between the last 10 - 30 days

• Old - tagged or rated between the last 30 - 60 days

• Stale - tagged or rated between the last 60 - 100 days and so on

This order will show left to right, with the freshest item being the furthest left.

If you want a recommendation to go to the front, you will just need to re-tag it. But if there are items in the playlist that have been rated in the last 10 days, these will go first as they will have a higher score.

Within each level of the freshness scale, the learning experiences are ordered by score. 

 

Score

Learners can rate learning experiences on the dashboard:

For every the score will increase by one. For every  , the score will decrease by 1. The starting score is 50. The score has no upper limit but can only decrease to 0.
