How to Create a Library

Transform the way you deliver training with the ProProfs Library, a powerful solution that simplifies content management and enhances learning accessibility. Unlike traditional learning methods, where instructors assign courses, ProProfs enables learners to explore, select, and enroll in courses independently based on their needs.

Why Create a Library?

1. Supports Self-Learning – Learners can conveniently access a wide range of training materials, search for courses, and complete them at their own pace.
    

2. Instant Access to Information – Employees can explore content anytime, anywhere, including job-specific information, to boost creativity and performance.
    

3. Improves Training & Engagement – The library allows for easy content updates, unlimited training modules, and company-specific materials to reinforce values and culture.

Here’s how the library appears to a learner:

Add Content to the Library

Step 1: Access the Library:

• Navigate to More > Library on your ProProfs Training Maker dashboard.

Step 2: Add New Content

• Click the Add to Library button and select Add Content or Add New Courses from the drop-down menu to start adding courses and files that learners can access through the LMS.

Step 3: Add Your Content Type:
 

In the popup, you can add courses, web links, images, videos, or upload files (PPT, PDF, MP4, etc.). Under My Courses, select the courses and click Add.
 

• Courses: Under the My Courses tab, select courses and click Add.

• Web Links: Switch to the Link tab, enter a URL (e.g., a blog or video), preview it using the right arrow, and click Add to save.

• Web Search: Switch to the Web Search tab, search for an image or video, and click Add to include it.

• File Uploads: Switch to the Upload tab, select a file (PPT, PDF, MP4, etc.), and click Add (max file size: 2GB).
   

Create Sections in the Library

You can use sections or folders to categorize your content based on type and purpose, making it easier for learners to find relevant materials. For example, you can create a Sales Training section to group all sales-related courses and resources.

Step 1: Access the Library:
 

• Navigate to Add to Library > Add New Section from the drop-down menu.
   

Step 2: Set Up the Section:
 

• Enter a name for the section and upload a cover image from your device.

• Choose to share the new folder with all users or select specific users/groups.

• Click Create to finalize the section.

Step 3: Add Content to the Section

• A newly created section will appear empty. Click +Add Content to include relevant materials.

• To return to the main library, click Library from the top navigation.

Using the Library as a Learner

Learners can access the library directly from their dashboard, making it easy to explore and enroll in courses at their convenience. They can choose courses for themselves by clicking "Assign to self" when they hover over a course.

A self-assigned course is labeled "Self-Assigned" and can be accessed by clicking the course title. Learners can remove self-assigned courses by clicking "Remove."
