Featured Groups on CourseFinder

CourseFinder Listing
As an issuer, you have always had the ability to add your courses on CourseFinder. What’s changed? Before, issuers had to choose each group on the corresponding settings page. The addition of Market my Courses and changes to General Settings saves you much time. Now you can list all your courses in one step on your Market my Courses page. Check one box, Include my Courses on CourseFinder, to list all of your courses at once.
What is the difference between marketing my courses as Featured Recommendations or enabling visibility on CourseFinder?
Recommendations are shown on recipients’ credentials and suggested credential pages with some exclusions. Learn how to enable recommendations.
Recommended courses that are part of Featured Groups/Recommendations are displayed on both recipients’ credential pages in a widget, suggested credentials, and CourseFinder at the top of search results.
In comparison, when you opt into Include my courses on CourseFinder, your programs display similar to a search engine listing. Where your course appears, such as on the first or fifth page, and what position it’s in, such as the top or bottom of the page, depends on the user’s search terms.
By including your course in the CourseFinder directory, you have the opportunity to be found when learners are searching for your specific program.
