What Blue Ocean Brain features does the Admin button allow me to access?

Selecting the Admin button in the top menu will display the various management features that Learner Admins may access in Blue Ocean Brain.

Note: The features found in the Admin menu are enabled individually for Learning Leaders at each organization. If you believe that you should have access to one or more of these features, please contact us and your request will be forwarded to the appropriate person at your organization for approval.

Below is a list of all of the Admin features in Blue Ocean Brain.  Designated Learner Admins at each organization will be able to access some or all of the following features:

  • Curriculum Catalog: The Curriculum Catalog provides a preview of all available Blue Ocean Brain content, including new lessons not yet found in the Library. The Curriculum Catalog also provides an at-a-glance overview of each Lesson when previewing.
  • Curriculum Calendar: The Curriculum Calendar provides a monthly view of upcoming scheduled Lessons for a Group. 
    • Curriculum Calendar: View Only Permission: This admin permission allows the Learning Leader to view the Curriculum Calendar and see all upcoming selected topics. 
    • Curriculum Calendar: Edit Permission: This admin permission allows the Learning Leader to edit and add new Lessons to the Curriculum Calendar. We recommend reserving this admin permission to 1 or 2 Learning Leaders to avoid confusion. 
  • Learners: The Learners page provides quick access to all of a Group's registered Learners. Learner Admins can use this view to quickly see who is, and isn't, currently registered in Blue Ocean Brain, as well as manage their Learners' access.
    • Learner View Permission: This admin permission allows the Learning Leader to view the list of registered learners within an organization.
    • Learner Edit Permission: This admin permission allows the Learning Leader to add and deactivate individual learners as needed. We recommend reserving this admin permission to 1 or 2 Learning Leaders to avoid confusion.
    • Learner Batch-Import Permission: The admin permission allows the Learning Leader to update the Learner List in batch by uploading .csv files. We recommend reserving this admin permission only to Learning Leaders able to access an entire listing of Learners within the organization. Please ask your CSM for additional information and training regarding uploading files to avoid accidental deactivations.
      • For organizations using SCIM, we do not enable Learner Edit/Learner Batch-import permissions, as this will interfere with the SCIM provisioning component.
  • Announcements: The Announcements page allows Learner Admins to publish a customizable message across their organization. Learner Admins can use this function to quickly broadcast important information, highlight specific Lessons, or tailor announcements to the needs of their Group. 
  • Leadership Briefs: Leadership Briefs are lesson-specific conversation starters that Leaders may use with their organization.
    • While the Leadership Brief library found in the Admin menu remains an admin permission, Blue Ocean Brain does offer the ability to turn on access to Leadership Briefs for all Learners in a Group, with Leadership Briefs appearing in the Library attached to individual Lessons and Articles.
  • Reports: The Reports page allows Learner Admins to quickly generate and download reports regarding Learner engagement. The Reports Dashboard shows seven quick glimpses into your Group's learning for the month, while the "Generate Report" and "Download Report " functions offer more detail into how your Group uses Blue Ocean Brain.
