LearnHub is made up of user created Communities which are a destination of topical, member-driven knowledge. Search and join communities in any subject you wish to learn about, discuss or contribute to.
Can't find the community
for you? Create one yourself.

video for a tutorial on creating and joining communities.

Community presentation for a guide on what makes a community
flourish.
Anyone can. As long as your community is
intended for educational purposes, there are no restrictions on
topic or how many you can create.
Why should I create my own
community?
As a community leader, you offer an
open door destination for other users who share the same
educational interest as you.
Being a community leader allows you to:
- Manage a community surrounding a topic of your choice
- Invite your friends and colleagues
- Start community events, discussions, and debates
- Encourage and inspire others
- Moderate and drive the community in the direction of your
choice
How do I create my own community?
There are two places you can find the "Start
your own Community" button. The first being in the communities
section. You will find the button at the very top-right of the
page. The second spot is within any community,
below the community description.
- Log in to LearnHub or
Create
an Account
- Click the "Start Your Own Community" button
- Title your community, choose a sub-domain, select a category, and enter a creative description.
- Click the "Next" button
- Upload a Community Image, if
you choose. Or click "skip"
- You're community will be created and you will be automatically redirected to the communities splash page
How do I edit my community?
Within your community splash page, you can
click the "Edit Your Community" button. You can modify your
community title, category, description, as well replace or upload a
new community photo.
You cannot change your
subdomain once you've created your community. Please, be careful
when choosing it during the creation process.
I know I have a subdomain, but what is
it?
Each community is created with a subdomain;
an easy to remember community URL
address.
For example, the LearnHub Support community address is http://support.learnhub.com. The
subdomain is the "support" part of the address.
LearnHub will automatically generate a subdomain for you based on your community title. If you decide to choose your own, be sure to make it simple, and be sure it relates to your community title.
Which category should I add my community to?
There are twenty categories you can choose from that may relate to your community subject. When a user searches for a community, they can search a specific category. Choosing the correct category is up to the community leader.
Examples:
Biology -> Sciences-> Multimedia & Fine Arts
Photography -
Cooperative Learning -> Education &
Training
Can I add my community to multiple
categories?
No. You can only pick one
category that best suits your community topic.
How can I add content to my
community?
In order to add content to your community,
you must first create it in your Workspace. You can create Lesson
Pages, Videos, Presentations, Tests, Concept Attainments, and
Trivia. All these features can be published to any community you
own or are a member of by using the "Public Sharing" widget in the
editor.
For additional help on these features, check
out the How to's on Lesson
Pages, Video
Lessons, Presentations,
Tests,
Concept Attainments, and Trivia.
Can I restrict who can join with privacy
options?
No. All communities are publicly accessible by anyone. If you wish to create private material that only certain members are allowed to view, I suggest creating a course.
Can I moderate what content is added to my
community?
At the moment, if you wish to remove a
lesson from your community you should send a private message to the
user asking them to remove it. If they don't comply, you can
contact support@learnhub.com and a staff
member will remove it.
