Tracks and Mentorships

How to create, organize, and manage tracks

You have endless possibilities for organizing your tracks and mentorships. To better understand how to organize your tracks, think of your storefront as a Netflix, where you can organize content into folders/tracks. Watch the video below.

Introduction

Effective management of learning tracks is essential to creating engaging and personalized educational experiences. This comprehensive guide will explore the features and best practices for organizing and managing learning tracks.

1. Fundamentals of Track Management

1.1 What are Learning Tracks?

Learning tracks are organized sequences of educational content that guide students along a structured learning path. They allow you to:

• Organize content into logical categories
• Create progressive learning sequences
• Offer personalized experiences to students

1.2 Basic Elements of a Track

Tracks are composed of:

• Products/Mentorships: The individual educational content items
• Sub-tracks: Smaller groupings within a main track
• Banners: Representative images for each sub-track
• Ordering: The sequence in which items appear

2. Creating and Organizing Tracks

2.1 Creating Main Tracks

To create a new track:

1. Go to the track management page
2. Click "Add New Track"
3. Define a name for the track
4. Optionally, add a representative banner

2.2 Adding Content to Tracks

To populate your tracks:

1. Identify the track you want to add content to
2. Click the + button to add content
3. Choose the type of content you want to add
4. Use the ordering options to define the sequence

2.3 Creating Complex Structures

For more elaborate tracks:

1. Create a track that will be the main one
2. Create a new track and change the type to sub-track using the gear button
3. Add content to the sub-track
4. Repeat the process to create sub-tracks within the sub-track

Example of a complex structure:

Main Track: "Special 2024"
    Sub-track: "April"
        Product 1
        Product 2
    Sub-track: "May"
        Sub-sub-track: "Week 1"
            Product 3
        Sub-sub-track: "Week 2"
            Product 4

3. Advanced Product/Mentorship Settings

3.1 Visibility and Access

Control who can see and access your content:

• Visibility: Determine whether a product appears in the storefront for non-subscribers
• Lock: Keep visibility for non-subscribers, but temporarily block access to a product. (The well-known "Coming Soon")

3.2 Ordering and Highlighting

Customize the presentation of your tracks:

1. Use the ordering arrows to adjust the sequence of items
2. Manually define the position using numbers (0, 1, 2, etc.)

3.3 Sub-track Management

To organize sub-tracks:

1. Use the "Select a track" option to move a track inside another
2. To remove a sub-track, click the "x" next to the track selection

4. Visualization and User Experience

4.1 The Learning Storefront

The storefront is where students interact with your tracks:

• Main tracks appear as categories
• Sub-tracks appear as products/mentorships within the main track
• Banners visually represent each sub-track

4.2 Student Navigation

Students can:

• Explore tracks and sub-tracks like a folder structure
• See only the products they have access to
• Interact with unlocked content

5. Strategies and Best Practices

5.1 Creating Personalized Experiences

• Use sub-tracks to create specific learning journeys
• Position the same content in different contexts for diverse learning objectives

5.2 Managing Dynamic Content

• Use temporary locking for content being updated
• Adjust visibility to control access to exclusive or paid content

5.3 Optimizing Organization

• Maintain a logical and intuitive structure
• Use attractive banners to represent each track
• Regularly review and adjust content ordering

6. Integrations and Content Delivery

6.1 Automatic Track Delivery

It is possible to configure automatic delivery of complete tracks:

1. Integrate with payment gateways
2. Configure the delivery of multiple products in a single transaction
3. To do this, access the main product/mentorship and go to the "Integrations" tab for more details.

6.2 Sales-Based Personalization

• Create specific tracks for different offers or packages
• Use integrations to deliver personalized content based on the student's purchases

Conclusion

Effective management of learning tracks is a powerful tool for creating rich and personalized educational experiences. By mastering the techniques for organizing, configuring, and delivering content through tracks, educators and content creators can offer structured and engaging learning journeys.

Remember that flexibility is the key: experiment with different structures, adjust based on student feedback, and keep optimizing your tracks to provide the best possible learning experience.
