What is Content Customization?

Using content customization, administrators can select BizLibrary Productions (BLP) content to customize for their own organizational needs. Customizing BLP content duplicates the off-the-shelf lesson to your organization’s custom content library. From there, administrators can edit, add to, or delete course profile features and details as if they uploaded it themselves.

Helpful Tip: If you are unable to customize BLP content, reach out to your BizLibrary Representative to learn more about this feature.

How to Create Customized Content

To begin the customization process, identify the lessons you would like to customize. We recommend browsing and previewing BLP content from Curriculum Builder.

How to browse content within Curriculum Builder and copy the course for customization:

1. Go to Administration from the main menu
2. Select Learning, then Curriculum Builder from the sidebar menu
3. Select the Features tab, then apply the customizable filter
4. From this list, decide what content you would like to customize
5. Once you have a course in mind that you would like to customize, click View Profile to head to the course profile page
6. Click the Customize button
7. A modal will open, allowing you to:
   1. Edit the title
   2. Edit the description
   3. Choose the custom library that you would like the content to be added to
8. Once you’re done, click Create Customized Content

Helpful Tip: We recommend updating the content title when customizing off-the-shelf content to help distinguish it from the original.

Available Customizations

You are now ready to take your content to the next level through customization! From the course’s profile page, you can modify the following course attributes:

• Title
• Description
• Code
• Duration
• Author
• Production Date
• Release Date
• Retired Date
• Audience

Helpful Tip: You can retire any customized content you have created at any time by selecting Actions followed by Retire in the course profile. Please note, if the original course has been retired, the customized course cannot be restored/unretired.

In addition to the ability to modify the above course attributes, you can also create, remove, or replace support materials and course interactions, and you can even build a custom quiz or survey!

Course Interactions

Interactions are an exclusive feature for customized content. These can be added, edited, or removed to change your learners’ experience as they navigate through the course.

These are the interactions that may be included within your customized content:

• Section titles are used to display a text header showing the current segment of the course
• Multiple choice questions prompt your learners to answer a question by choosing from a list of options

• Tips share a brief note with your learners
• Web Links share a link to an external resource (such as another video or article)

To manage interactions from inside the course profile, please follow these instructions:

1. Select Administration from the main menu
2. Select Learning then Libraries from the sidebar menu
3. Select the custom library that your course resides in
