How to Integrate ProProfs Collaborate With Training Maker

ProProfs Collaborate is a discussion and peer-learning platform designed to encourage meaningful conversations among your learners.
When integrated with ProProfs Training Maker, it opens up new ways for users to ask questions, share insights, and learn from each other, without needing instructor intervention for every query.

Instead of only instructor-led communication, your learners can collaborate directly inside the training environment.     

After you integrate ProProfs Collaborate with Training Maker, learners will see the Collaborate option on their classroom dashboard (See below).

Benefits of integrating Collaborate with ProProfs Training Maker

• Create active learning environments: Allow learners to ask, answer, and discuss course-related topics in real time, building peer support inside your training.

• Streamline mentorship and peer programs: Ideal for mentor-mentee initiatives or onboarding groups where continuous, informal learning is crucial.

• Fewer bottlenecks for trainers: Reduce basic question overload for instructors, so they can focus on coaching instead of repeatedly answering FAQs.

• Support SOP-driven and compliance learning: Learners can share updates, questions, and clarifications on processes like compliance training directly through Collaborate, without switching platforms.

How to Integrate ProProfs Collaborate With ProProfs Training Maker:

Step 1: Navigate to Classroom > Groups.

Step 2: Create a new group or select an existing group with the users you want to add to ProProfs Collaborate. Hover over to Settings and enable Discussion. 

Now, when the group user logs in to the classroom, they can click Discussion on the dashboard to open ProProfs Collaborate.

Here's what the ProProfs Collaborate dashboard will look like. On the left panel, learners can find the forum's list of topics and users. They can create a new post or invite other users to join the discussion. Learners can also add new topics for discussion using the plus button (+).

How Collaborate appears to learners

Once enabled, the Collaborate dashboard lets learners:

• Browse discussion topics

• Post questions or comments

• Access peer answers or instructor clarifications

• Start or join discussions on compliance, skills development, onboarding, or custom topics

It becomes a continuous learning space layered directly into your training system.      

How organizations use Collaborate with Training Maker

• Mentorship programs: In structured mentoring setups, mentees can raise real-world doubts, while mentors guide them using Collaborate threads.

• Onboarding batches: Companies use Collaborate to create forums for each new hire group, helping them ask HR, policy, and technical questions during early training stages.

• Compliance training: Teams often open SOP-related Q&A threads so learners can discuss best practices and clear misunderstandings without delaying formal course completion.

FAQs

1. Can I control which learners have access to ProProfs Collaborate?
Yes, access is managed at the group level. Only learners who are part of groups where the instructor has enabled the Discussion option can see and use Collaborate inside their classroom dashboard.

2. Will Collaborate discussions be linked to specific courses or classrooms?
No, Collaborate discussions are tied to groups, not to individual courses. This gives you flexibility to host open discussions that can support multiple courses, onboarding programs, or mentorship tracks under the same group.

3. What happens if a user is removed from a group after Collaborate is enabled?
If you remove a learner from a group where Collaborate is active, they will automatically lose access to the related discussion forums. You do not need to manually revoke their Collaborate permissions.
