Peer learning allows you to tap into the real-world expertise that already exists within your organization — and the benefits are clear. Employees that contribute to their internal learning programs tend to feel more valued and be more engaged. Managers also benefit by easily spreading knowledge across the workforce and identifying high performers with specific skill sets.
Workplace's Learning feature enables scalable knowledge sharing that’s lightweight, accessible, and easy to consume. Leverage Workplace’s media richness to create learning content that engages frontline employees while helping them do their jobs better. Then create quizzes and track unit completion to get a feel for how employees are interacting with learning content in your group.

Before you can create learning content, you’ll need to create your first guide. Only group admins have the ability to create guides and they can do so by going to the group's Learning tab.
The Learning tab will only be visible to group admins until the first guide is created. Once a guide is created, all members of the group will be able to see and navigate to the Learning tab.
