General Community Settings

In this article, we will explore the Community Settings screen and all its subcategories.

After creating your new learning community, you can modify a wide range of settings and customization options directly through the community screen.

Community settings

Here, you have the option to toggle the button to enable or disable the visibility of your community to users.

This feature gives you the flexibility to choose when and how your community is accessible.

Whether you want to showcase it openly or restrict access for private purposes, this button puts the control in your hands.

Community Details

The information provided here will be used to identify your community. Feel free to describe your community and optionally include a banner image.

When inserting a community image, it is advisable to use dimensions of 1200×280px with a file size under 5 MB. This image will be displayed prominently on your community homepage and within community rooms if a specific image is not assigned to the room.

Community Access

There are various options available to regulate the accessibility of your community for students. These options include providing free unlimited access, invite-only access, or paid access.

Free Community Access

Free community access allows members to join and participate in your community without any cost or membership fees.

It is a great way to attract a broad audience, encourage participation, and build a vibrant, engaged community.

You can follow the steps in this link to learn more about free community access.

Invite-Only Community Access

These are exclusive groups where membership and access are restricted to individuals who receive an invitation from community administrators.

These communities often offer a higher level of privacy and security since access is limited and monitored.

Here is a link for more information about invite-only community access.

Paid Community Access

Paid access pertains to a membership model in which individuals are required to pay a fee to join and engage within the community.

Members usually receive entry to exclusive content, enhanced functionalities, and specialized resources that are not accessible to non-paying members.

You can refer to this link for more information about paid community access.

Click the Save button once you have finished entering all the features of your community to ensure that the changes are reflected on your community's Homepage.
