Create User Generated Content

Learn how to create a new article and submit it for publication as a learner

What is User Generated Content?

User-generated content is content created by a learner rather than a content manager. Learners can create articles and submit them for review, and content managers review and approve the articles for publication. 

User-generated content can only be created from the Desktop application and may not be available to all users. 

The Review Process

• Learners will receive an email notification when their article changes status
• Approved content will be published
• Content requiring revisions will be returned to Draft
• If the reviewer has left feedback, it can be found in the email notification or the content's revision log
