Concept: Learning Topics

Topics enable you to categorize learning content, improving the learning catalog search and browsing experience for learners. You can associate topics with learning content when you:

Create or edit a program, blended course, digital course, or stand-alone lesson.
Configure external content.

You can configure segmented security for learning topics, if required.

From the

Learning

dashboard, learners can:

Select
Topics
to browse learning content by topic.
Set topic preferences to enable Workday to suggest personalized related content in the
Based on Your Interests
worklet.

Use the

Create Learning Topic

task to create topics that meet your learning catalog requirements, associating an icon or custom image with each topic. As a convenience, Workday delivers these standard topic icons:

Compliance and Legal
Data Privacy and Security
Finance and Administration
Health and Safety
IT and Software
Management
Marketing and Sales
Operations
Productivity
Project Management
Skills
Team and Culture

You can reuse the icons across multiple topics if you need to create additional topics beyond this list. You can only add 1 image per topic.

The ideal image size for a course, lesson, or topic cover image is within our 10,240 KB size restriction, and follows and aspect ratio of, or close to 1.79, where the width > height.

You can enter up to a maximum of 50 characters for your topic title. There's no limit set on how many topics you can create in Workday.
