Playlists

Playlists are curated selections of resources, courses and surveys. Users can create playlists of content on themes that would be useful to other users.

Surveys

Surveys consist of a single question, for which respondents can select one or more answers. Surveys are used to gather feedback and opinions.

If you have enabled multitenancy on your site then users won't have access to contributions from other tenants. If you have enabled tenant isolation then additional restrictions will apply.

When a user account is deleted, any resources, playlists or surveys created by that user will also be deleted.

Courses

You can also add existing courses to a workspace library, providing a convenient link to any courses that are relevant to the workspace.

The Totara Academy has a whole course dedicated to using playlists and resources in Totara. Here you can find out more about creating, and sharing playlists and resources, as well as find best-practice guidance.
