Learning is a cognitive process that takes place in a social context. You might want to offer your learners a social context when training skills like applying, analysing, evaluating, and creating. Growth platform has features that provide this social context to your learners 💪

What are social features?

  • Upon answering a question, learners see others who have answered the same question.

  • Upon answering a question, learners see the previously given answers.

  • Learners receive notifications when someone comments or likes their social timeline post.

  • Learners receive notifications when their teammates post something on the social timeline.

In this article, you will find information on:


Filtering social features on the platform level

Step 1. Navigate to TinQwise Control > Settings > General

Step 2. Find the social learning box.

Step 3. Click on the pen icon in the upper right corner of the box.

Here, you can select the group type for which you want to activate the social features.

Users will only be able to see the social activities of those who are in the groups with the same group type.


Filtering social features on the activity level

Step 1. Navigate to TinQwise Control > Content > Activities

Step 2. Find the activity you want to set up the social features for.

Step 3. Click on the activity. This will direct you to the activity details page.

Step 4. Find the Activity settings box. Click the pen icon on the upper right corner of the box.

Step 5. Select the group type that you would like to filter for your learners.

Learners will only be able to see the answers of the learners in the same group type.

All the changes that you will make will overwrite the platform settings. If you don't select any group type on the activity level, the platform settings will be applied.

For example, you might want to enable the social features for all users on the platform level. In this case, you should select a group type that includes all users. However, seeing the answers of all platform users might not always be relevant. In that case, use the filter on the activity level. This will allow learners to see interactions only of others who are in their group/team.


Good to know 👀

Social features are eligible for MPC and open question templates. It is not possible to activate social features for activities that cannot contain these templates (e.g., an assignment).
