Student Dashboard
Learn how students navigate the LMS, including Home, My Learning, Cohorts, and Explore.
The student dashboard (LMS) is where students open courses, track progress, and discover new content. If you are an admin, this page helps you explain what students see after they join your organization.
Students reach the LMS after they sign in on your academy. The left sidebar lists the main areas below. Exercise and Community only appear when your organization has those features enabled.

Profile and integrations |
Home
Home is the default landing page after a student signs in. It shows courses they are already enrolled in, along with progress indicators so they can pick up where they left off.
Use Home when you want a quick overview of everything the student is actively taking.
My Learning
My Learning focuses only on enrolled courses. Students can switch between tabs such as In progress and Complete to filter their list.
| View | Best for |
|---|---|
| Home | Progress at a glance across enrolled courses |
| My Learning | Browsing and filtering enrolled courses by completion status |
Both show enrolled courses. My Learning adds clearer filtering for students managing a longer list.
Explore
Explore lists published, active courses in your organization that the student has not enrolled in yet. Each card links to the course landing page so they can read details and enroll (if enrollment is open).
Explore is useful when you want students to discover optional or elective courses without assigning them manually.
Cohorts
Cohorts are separate from individual courses. A cohort groups courses under shared goals (for example, complete all courses in an onboarding track). Students who belong to a cohort see it under Cohorts in the LMS.
| Concept | Where students see it |
|---|---|
| Individual enrolled courses | Home, My Learning |
| Courses not yet joined | Explore |
| Multi-course tracks with goals | Cohorts |
For how admins create cohorts and set goals, see Cohorts.
What students see right after enrolling
When a student enrolls in a course (from a landing page, invite link, or admin assignment):
- They are added to the course group immediately.
- The course appears on Home and My Learning.
- It no longer appears in Explore (because they are enrolled).
- They can open lessons, exercises, and materials from the course sidebar.
If you added them from People but they have not signed in yet, they may show as Pending in the admin People list until they accept the invite or create an account.
