Curated Lists are themed collections of courses, usually focused on trending topics or high-demand skills. They build knowledge in a subject area and are created by the content experts who maintain the OpenSesame catalog.

Browse Curated Lists

Log in to your OpenSesame account. This navigates to the catalog, and the default view begins with some Curated Lists.

To browse them all, locate the Product Type filter and select Lists.

The results update to show only Curated Lists. A Plus banner means all courses in a List are included in the OpenSesame Plus subscription catalog. To open a Curated List, select it.

Each List includes:

• A title
• A description
• The name of the person who made the List
• The total number of courses
• The total seat time
• A curated collection of courses

Follow a List

Note: To take an action on a List, you must be logged in.

To add a Curated List to your Lists, use its Follow button.

When you visit My Lists, followed Lists appear in the Following tab.

When you follow a Curated List, it stays updated with any changes from the curator. If you make a copy instead, the copy does not receive updates.

Stop following a List

If you decide to stop following a Curated List, return to the List. Hover over the Following button, which becomes Unfollow, then select it.

Make a copy of a List

To customize a Curated List, first make a copy. Open the List's menu and select Duplicate.

You can immediately change the title or description. By default, the new title begins with "Copy of."

Select Duplicate List.

The request processes and a confirmation appears. When you visit My Lists, the copy appears in the Created tab, with you as the creator. You can then add, remove, or reorganize courses in the copy.

Personal copies are private and do not receive updates from our curation team. And unlike Curated Lists, which are public, if you share a copy, recipients must log in to view it.

Find your Lists

To find your Lists, select My Lists in the navigation bar. (In some legacy integrations, My Lists appears in the account menu.)

• If you follow a Curated List, it appears in the All and Following tabs.
• If you copy a Curated List, the copy appears in the All and Created tabs.
