Totara Engage LXP
What is Totara Engage?
Totara Engage is a powerful learning experience platform (LXP) that facilitates informal online learning. Totara Engage connects, involves and unites your learners, creating truly engaging learning experiences. Unlike the more formal learning structures provided by Totara Learn, Totara Engage focuses on collaborative learning paths chosen and created by learners.
Ask most people and they’ll tell you that while formal learning is essential, it’s often the case that how we really learn every day is through doing our jobs and interacting with others who have more or complementary knowledge. Totara Engage enables knowledge creation and sharing seamlessly in the course of your team’s day-to-day work. With Engage, resources, insights and learning experiences are easily shared between peers within a dynamic virtual learning environment. That’s the central ethos of Totara Engage – encouraging and enabling your users to create their own content and share it with others.
