We've made it very easy for the library to choose which courses to publish, edit course descriptions and other features, publish their own courses that meet local community needs, and get analytics to show funders and other stakeholders how many people at their branches are using the site and what they are learning. These are all features that PLA can help set up for other libraries. On this page, you see the basic Administrator Dashboard. From here, library staff can choose which courses the present on their personalized site, whether they come from PLA's DigitalLearn site, or they are new and developed by the library. Libraries can develop and post their own courses. Right now, course files must be in Articulate Storyline authoring software, which is what was used to develop DigitalLearn modules. In the future we expect to be able to allow posting of courses in other formats. By giving the library tools to develop and post their own courses, we can help libraries directly address specific community needs. These may be things like: • collaborating with the local school system on a course that helps parents learn to better use the school's online parent portal • Working with city government to develop training on using the city websites to apply for permits, pay bills, or access other services • simply translating content of basic computer or Internet courses into a language that's prominent in the local community 11
