How to Add a New Audience

This article provides details for adding a new audience in InstructorSite. Audiences restrict access to courses, events, plans, and resources in LearningSite. Non-members will not see them or know that they exist.  Audiences do not restrict access in InstructorSite.

From the main navigation bar, select More and then select Audiences.

Select New Audience.

Type the name of the new audience in the space provided and add a description (optional). Select Auto-Membership, then select Add Criteria. The top three search form options are in the off position and can be toggled on, if desired. Select Add Criteria and make selections from the drop-down menus, then select Next.

Select Change Criteria or Clear Criteria to edit. Confirm that the current criteria is correct and select Save Audience when finished.

Select Assign this Audience to... to assign the audience to a Course, Event, Plan, Resource, or User. Select Courses from the drop-down to add the new audience to a Course.

Search for and/or choose a Course and select Add Audience to Course.

The new audience will appear on the Overview tab of the Course page.

To manually add a user to an existing audience, select Edit on the user's profile page, select Add Audience to select from the list of available audiences, then select Save User.

The user will now be a member of the audience.
