Introduction

Welcome to your guide on utilising the Topics feature in Empress. The Topics feature is a key tool to organise your company’s learning content in a structured and efficient way. It helps you to divide your courses into smaller, easy-to-digest chunks, enhancing the learning experience for your team.

What is a Topic in Empress?

Think of a Topic as a chapter in a book. Just as a book is divided into chapters, a course in Empress can be divided into multiple Topics. Each Topic contains relevant content to that specific subject. For example, within the course ‘Customer Service Excellence,’ you might have a Topic named ‘Handling Difficult Customers.’ The content within a Topic can take various forms, including articles, videos, or quizzes, offering flexible and diverse learning opportunities.

These are the main types of content that can be included in a Topic, offering a rounded learning experience.
