Browsing for Courses - Genius CE & Enterprise

The Genius CE & Enterprise Course Catalog

The Genius CE & Enterprise platform simplifies the process for learners to discover the educational opportunities that suit their needs by offering a comprehensive Course Catalog. This Course Catalog serves as a gateway for users to preview all available courses, search for those that align with their interests or training requirements, gather detailed information about each course, and ultimately, enroll in courses quickly when they are ready to proceed with their registration.

Depending on your organization’s settings, the Genius CE or Enterprise Course Catalog may either be public or private. A public Course Catalog allows anyone to access it without the need to log in to the Genius CE or Enterprise system, whereas a private Catalog requires users to log in first. Generally, you can access your Course Catalog by navigating to <myorganization.geniussis.com> - or by using the specific address designated by your organization for accessing Genius CE or Enterprise.

• When you log in as a learner, you might first encounter your Learner's Dashboard before reaching the Course Catalog. At any moment, you can click on the Register for Courses link located on the left-hand sidebar of your screen to access the Course Catalog.

In the following sections, we will provide a detailed explanation of how to effectively use the Genius CE & Enterprise Course Catalog to identify courses that cater to your interests or educational needs.

Browsing for Courses

One of the primary methods for discovering courses within the Genius CE & Enterprise catalog is to browse through the catalog. After clicking on the Register for Courses link in the sidebar on the left side of your screen, you can scroll through the course catalog to view all the courses that are available for you to complete. This browsing experience is designed to be user-friendly, allowing you to explore a wide array of options.

Each course is presented in a tile format, which not only enhances the visual appeal but also facilitates quick access to important information about the courses you may wish to register for. Additionally, these tiles provide immediate details regarding the cost of each course, all within the catalog's interface. If payment is required, you can utilize Genius+ to handle the transactions for your courses.

In instances where your organization offers an extensive range of courses—common in larger organizations with thousands of members or intricate training programs—you have the option to use filters to refine your search and enhance the efficiency of your course discovery process. We will elaborate on how to employ these filters effectively in the subsequent section.

Using Filters

The Genius CE & Enterprise course catalog features filters that enable users to streamline their browsing experience by either minimizing the number of courses displayed or restricting searches to only those courses that meet specific criteria. This functionality is particularly useful for learners who want to quickly locate relevant courses without having to sift through an overwhelming number of options.

The criteria that can be applied as filters include:

• The specific dates during which each course is scheduled to take place.
• The categories associated with each course allow for targeted searches.
• The method of delivery for the course is whether it is in-person, online, or a hybrid format.
• The keywords associated with a course can help narrow down options based on specific topics of interest.
• And finally, the location where the course will be held, which is crucial for those who prefer or need to attend in person.
