About This Feature
The "For You" page transforms how members engage with their learning experience. This update replaces the old "Home" page with a more personalized, streamlined interface designed to surface relevant content and guide members toward meaningful actions.
Key benefits of the "For You" page include:
- Personalized Experience: Members see content tailored to their learning journey, such as upcoming assignments and recently viewed materials.
- Simplified Layout: A single-column design eliminates confusion from the previous two-column structure, making navigation more intuitive.
- Customizable Blocks: Admins can continue using the drag-and-drop editor to curate the experience, now with additional block options to personalize the page further.
Communities will have until April 8, 2025 to migrate their existing Home page to the new For You home page. Start migrating your blocks today by signing into Disco and clicking the “Start Customizing” button on the Home page. Admins can set up the page and preview its functionality before publishing to members.
How It Works
The "For You" page features a simplified, single-column layout that adapts to each member’s learning journey. Admins can customize the layout using Disco’s drag-and-drop editor while ensuring members have quick access to essential actions. Personalized blocks surface content relevant to each member, such as upcoming assignments and recently viewed materials, making it easier to jump back into learning.
Two new blocks have been added to provide members with a personalized experience and allow them to easily jump back into learning content from the For You page.
Configuring “For You” & Enabling for Members
- At the top of the Community Home page, admins will now see a banner allowing them to “Start Customizing” the For You page.
- Click “Start Customizing”. This will create the For You page, only visible to admins.
- Use the drag & drop editor to add and re-arrange blocks on the For You page.
- Once you are satisfied with the page's appearance and content, click “Publish Page” to make the For You page the new community home page.
New Block: Hero Block
Admins can showcase their community’s brand by adding an image or selecting a brand color as the background.
- The Hero block is always the first block on the For You page.
- Hover over the block and click the three dots in the top-right to edit.
- Customize the background with an image, color, or select No Fill.
- Choose a greeting from preset options and add custom subtext.
- Each member sees a personalized greeting when they log in.
New Block: Recently Viewed
The “Recently Viewed” block tracks and displays content accessed across Products and Collections. In this block, members will see:
- Content that has been viewed for at least 3 seconds
- Includes materials from courses, collections, and other learning resources
When accessing content from this block:
- The content opens immediately for viewing
- The system loads its original location in the background (e.g., if viewing a lesson, its parent course curriculum loads behind it)
New Block: Jump Back In
The “Jump Back In” block helps members progress through their learning journey by:
- Displaying a list of products the member is enrolled in, but has not yet completed, with at least 1 module, assignment or quiz to complete
- Reminding members of upcoming assignments and incomplete quizzes
- Clicking one of the products takes the member directly to the curriculum page for that product, with the module in progress automatically expanded
- Once the member completes 100% of a product or the end date of a fixed-time product, it will no longer show in the Jump Back In block
- Admins see all their incomplete course enrolments
The block can be renamed for clarity.
Important Considerations
- The "For You" page replaces the "Home" page to better align with personalized learning experiences. Once you publish the “For You” page to members, admins and members will no longer be able to access the “Home”.
- Communities have until April 8, 2025 to migrate to “For You” as their homepage. Any community that has not migrated before April 8 will be automatically migrated and will receive a default set of blocks on the page.
FAQs
Will members see the “For You” page before April 8?
Members will only see the “For You” page once the admin chooses to publish it. If the admin has not published their community’s “For You” page by March 3, members will see a “For You” page with a default set of blocks.
Can admins customize the "For You" page layout?
Yes, admins can use the drag-and-drop editor to arrange and customize the page layout.
What image size is needed for the Hero block?
1600px width x 400 px height.
