Redwood Learn - Browse catalog

Background:

At Oracle Cloud World 2023, Oracle had a lot of focus on the user experience and the main way to achieve that was using the 'Redwood UI'. 

One of the new features available are the 'Browse Catalog' and 'Topic Index' screens shown below. We’ll look at how to get this enabled in this post.

Topic Index screen: 

Before you enable: 

1. Enable Redwood learn, you can refer my previous post on the steps to complete this. 

Steps to enable: 

1. Think of the design

From a design perspective, learning administrators need to look at a hierarchy approach. At a high level, we would need categories and each category would have multiple topics under it. Once the learning content is organized in this fashion, we can start putting together in Oracle as well. 

2. Setup the topics

Navigation: My client groups > Learning > Communities > Create > Topic Community

• Give a name and a description. This will give learners an idea about the courses covered in this topic.

• After creating the topic, use the catalog tab to add the courses you want to include this topic using the ‘Catalog’ tab. 

3. Setup the categories

Navigation: My client groups > Learning > Communities > Create > Category Community

• Give a name and a description. This will give learners an idea about the courses covered in this category. 

• After creating the category, use the catalog tab to add the topics you want to include this category. The courses would show the topics already setup in the previous step. 

Final Result:

After turning on the features above, when an employee heads to Me > Learning, they can browse through the catalog using courses and topics.  

Here is the 'Safety' category setup: 

Here is the 'Equipment Safety' topic that was setup within the Safety category.
