Tribal Habits has a fantastic guided process (driven by Sage) to help anyone map out new training and then fill it with interactive content. This process is launched when you create a new topic or article from scratch using the 'Create' button on the Create tab of your learner dashboard.
However, we can give you even more help and inspiration with our Templates library. This library includes entire template topics and articles (not just template layouts) on popular training concepts.
Note: Only Admins can access the Templates library.
Accessing the Templates library
Accessing the Templates library
You can access templates at Admin → Knowledge → Templates. Admins will be able to see all the available templates and can copy any of them into their portal.
You can copy the same template multiple times - each copy will be a brand new topic or article. So don't worry if you edit a copied template and want to see what you deleted - just import it again!
Each time you copy a template you will receive the latest version of that template, complete with any changes or improvements.
Topic or article templates that you copy into your portal can be found in the 'draft' folder on the 'Topics' or 'Articles' tab.
Using a template
Using a template
Templates are designed to provide inspiration.
Each template begins with an overview of the module and what it is trying to achieve. It will explain various options within the topic or article and some initial considerations as you start editing the template.
Each template has instruction elements you will need to delete. These instruction elements are typically in orange text and have reminders to delete them.
Some templates have blanks (things like [xxxxxx] or ______) for you to edit/replace. Some templates can be as simple as filling in the blanks. However, some knowledge is complicated. Templates about explaining software or your organisation's values cannot be perfectly templated. Instead, those templates will give you guidance and ideas. They often have detailed instructions, but you will need to examine them yourself and make a few decisions.
Remember, every topic you create can have a free review from a Tribal Habits instructional designer (articles are not eligible for this service). If you use the templates, guidance from Sage, and our free review - a fantastic online training module is easy to create. Click here for more information.
