The dynamic homepage in Go1 Learn offers powerful tools to increase learner engagement while reducing administrative overhead. This guide helps you optimize the homepage experience to achieve your learning and development goals.
What makes the dynamic homepage effective?
The dynamic homepage adapts to each learner's unique context, displaying the most relevant content based on:
Their current learning and progress
Job title and organizational role
Content you've curated and endorsed
Learning patterns across your organization
This personalized approach drives higher engagement by showing learners exactly what they need, when they need it.

Why doesn't Go1 Learn have a customizable welcome message?
The Go1 Learn homepage prioritizes personalized content over static elements.
Our research showed minimal engagement with custom welcome messages, while personalized recommendations significantly increased learning activity.
This approach dedicates valuable screen space to helping each learner quickly find relevant content based on their specific needs and learning history. Each person receives a tailored experience that evolves with them, rather than a generic message.

Admins can select exactly which Playlists and/or Courses curated your organization are featured in this section. We show up to six playlists and six courses at a time - if you select more items to Feature on home, we will refresh the six item shown each time the learner loads the Home page to maintain variety.

Can we customize which sections appear on the learner homepage?
The Go1 Learn homepage adapts dynamically to each person's learning journey, automatically showing what's most relevant to them at any given moment.
Rather than static sections that appear for everyone, the homepage intelligently displays content based on each learner's unique situation. For example:
"Assigned to you" appears only when learners have assignments to complete
"Continue learning" shows only when learners have courses in progress
"Recommended skills" appears when learners provide job title information
This personalized approach means each person receives a tailored experience that prioritizes their most important content first, rather than following a one-size-fits-all layout.
We continuously monitor how people interact with each section and optimize placement to maximize engagement, ensuring the most valuable content receives appropriate visibility without requiring manual configuration.
You can customize the content promoted in the Hero carousel using the Spotlight functionality. Learn more here.

Links like there are more effectively integrated when they appear in the context of related learning. You can add external links as a piece of content in relevant playlists or later, as Spotlighted content (coming Q2 2025), providing context about when and why to use these resources. This approach also allows you to track how often the resources are accessed to better measure their value.

How often are content recommendations updated?
Our recommendation system refreshes at least every 48 hours as library and catalog changes occur. This ensures your learners receive suggestions based on the most current available content.
When learners update topic preferences to personalize recommendations, these changes enter our next recommendation cycle. The system then works to identify the top 20 most relevant learning items based on these preferences combined with other factors like your organization's industry and country.
