What are collections?
In Brainpower, you work with collections. A collection can be compared to a traditional card index system with questions; the questions are categorised based on learning objectives. Each question in the collection is linked to one or more learning objectives. In Brainpower, training is focused on these learning objectives. Read below about the two different ways to create collections.
How do I create a standalone collection?
From the menu bar on the left, go to "Content".
Click on “Add”.
Choose "E-learning" as the type of learning activity and click "Compile a selection".
Add the general information.
Title: Give the learning activity a title so you can easily find it in the library.
Author: By default, the academy name is used as the author name.
Study time: Here you can enter an indication of the study time.
Themes: Add at least one theme.
Skills: Add up to five skills here that you develop with this learning activity. This is optional.
Click "Create new learning activity".
Click “Edit collection” to edit the collection's content.
You can add new questions or reuse existing questions from the Warehouse. Click on 'Search and reuse questions' to directly select questions from the Warehouse.
How do I integrate a collection into an e-learning course?
You can also fill a collection based on an existing e-learning module. This way, you build a Brainpower collection using learning objectives from that e-learning.
To create a Brainpower collection based on an e-learning module, go to the settings of the relevant e-learning and select “Brainpower integration". The system will then automatically generate a collection.
This collection will appear as a separate “tile” in the content overview. You can still manage this collection via the Brainpower tile to make any changes to the automatically generated collection.
Measuring learning objectives
For each collection, you can choose which learning objectives you want to measure. Based on the selected questions, Brainpower identifies which learning objectives are included in the collection. A question may be linked to multiple learning objectives, but you may not want to measure all of them in this collection. To manage this, open the Brainpower collection and go to the “Learning objectives” tab. There, you can specify which learning objectives you do and do not want to measure. The user's knowledge retention and knowledge level are calculated based on the active learning objectives.
