Custom Content & Libraries: A Management Perspective

Peak Experience delivers managers new levels of flexibility.

Join us as we continue our exploration of the new features and tools in Peak Experience. This week’s topic: custom content and libraries. The “library” organizational tool is new in Peak Experience, and provides one more layer of flexibility for managers to utilize in structuring their content collections. In libraries, custom content and subscription content can live side by side, letting you develop versatile, topic-oriented content groupings. At the same time, libraries feature an enhanced user interface and increased metadata options which reveal more information.

Pinnacle Series has long supported the creation and inclusion of your own learning content, designed for your organization’s users and precisely targeted to their needs. With Peak Experience, managers have more tools than ever to navigate, organize, and share that content with their learners. Let’s look at four key benefits to managers from Peak Experience’s new custom content and library capabilities.

More information for managers

Key features:

• Content management and visibility based on organizational structure
• Increased metadata options
• List/tile view options
• Exportable content change summary

Peak Experience updates follow an overarching trend of more closely aligning functionality with real-world applications—one that is continued in the libraries feature. Library management has been integrated with organizational structure, allowing managers to control content organization, visibility, and sharing according to departments and job roles. Libraries also incorporate new options for content metadata, allowing you to record more detail about your custom content and include it in searching and filtering.

On top of integrating more information into content controls, libraries also surface more content data to managers. You’re able to choose between list and tile views, so you can see more details about your content at a glance. And in order to keep you up to date on the status of your content, libraries offer an exportable summary of content changes, allowing you to audit the recent history of custom content as needed.

Refined organizational tools

Key features:

• Increased control over content publication
• Expanded options for content organization
• Updated graphical views
• Content and library images and descriptions

With new expanded permissions, organizations can ensure only the right content is published to their users while broadening their content creation teams to include additional subject matter experts. As your content creation teams build and organize custom materials for your teams, they have full control over how to organize the content, ensuring they can easily find and edit the materials that are most important to their teams.

Managers also have new tools to provide their learners with more information about the content they’re accessing. Libraries allow managers to associate an image with the library, and to add descriptions detailing the specifics of the collection, helping learners find what they need more efficiently.

Easier and more enjoyable to use

Key features:

• Browser-based content management interface
• Modern user interface design
• Faster loading, filtering, and searching of content

With Peak Experience, we’ve updated the user experience across Pinnacle Series, and libraries are no exception. Content management functions now have a convenient browser interface with modern, graphical navigation, making it easier and more intuitive to find what you need and make edits.

In addition, Peak Experience sports a supercharged search functionality that also benefits the libraries feature, making search queries, filtering, and content loading faster and easier. Everyday tasks like finding, editing, and publishing learning content run more smoothly thanks to back-end handling improvements.

More ways to customize learning for users

Key features:

• Faster control over content visibility
• Ability to assign certificates by learning path
• Expanded content consumption controls for learning paths

Ultimately, the critical responsibility for managers is facilitating access to useful content for the learners in their organization. With libraries, the Pinnacle Series learning experience can be more targeted than ever. Peak Experience provides new and more detailed ways for managers to tailor content access and delivery to their users’ learning journeys. Libraries grant managers more granular control over how and where content is published, and let them add or change visibility permissions with greater speed.

By leveraging the latest Peak Experience features, content managers can ensure that learning is customized to meet their needs. Courses can be comprised of both subscription and custom content—including videos, documents, workflows, and quizzes—built to suit the needs of your team and round out the learning experience. Once users complete the courses, they are able to receive custom certificates that your content management team can leverage for ongoing training and development.
