The word itself says it all. Summaries allow you to briefly explain what a book, a Meet-up, or an e-learning course is about. This can engage and motivate users to delve into the subject.

Do you have access to Rakoo Learnings? In that case, the management summaries are also shared with your online academy.

How to create a summary?

  • Navigate to 'Courses' on the menu bar.

  • Click on 'Add'.

  • Choose 'Summary' as the type of learning activity.

  • Add the general information. Fill in the title, study time, theme(s), and optionally a description. Then click on 'Create new activity'.

    • Title. Give the summary a title so you can easily find it in the library.

    • Author.

    • Study time. Indicate the expected 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.

Adding content

On the 'Content' tab, you can add text. You can also use the buttons above the text box to insert special content, such as a tip or an image.

How can I utilize the summary in my online academy?

There are several scenarios in which you can use this learning activity:

  • As a standalone summary of a book, e-learning course, or (external) training day/webinar (Meet-up).

  • As a summary of a previous learning journey. For example, at the beginning of an advanced course, you can offer an optional learning activity that summarizes the key points of the foundational course. This can be incorporated into a Learning Playlist.

  • At the end of a Learning Playlist, add a summary that briefly recaps the entire learning journey, serving as a reference guide.
