Users that enroll in Courses on the Absorb LMS are called Learners.. These Learners will primarily interact with the Learner Experience within the LMS, which is a customizable dashboard housing trainings, their Transcript, Resources, along with a suite of other options that can be configured for the Learner Experience. This article contains helpful links which can be reviewed to learn more about the different components of the Learner Experience.
Dashboards
