Reactions

Let learners respond with a single tap — Like, Love, Support, and more — across your community.

Reactions are the quickest way for learners to respond. With one tap, a learner can show how they feel about a post — no typing needed. They're a light, friendly way to keep your community active.

The reaction types

There are seven reactions to choose from:

ReactionOften used for
LikeA simple "yes, good."
LoveStrong approval or appreciation.
HahaSomething funny.
SupportEncouragement and solidarity.
SadSympathy or disappointment.
AngryStrong disagreement or frustration.
DislikeA simple "not for me."

How it works

  • Each learner gets one reaction per item.
  • Choosing a new reaction replaces the previous one. For example, switching from Like to Love simply changes the reaction — it does not add a second.
  • To remove a reaction, a learner taps the same one again.

How a learner reacts

  1. A learner finds a post — for example a discussion or a comment.
  2. They tap the reaction button.
  3. They pick one of the seven reactions.
  4. To change it, they pick a different one. To remove it, they tap the same one again.

What the learner sees

  • A row of reaction options on each post.
  • A count for each reaction, so it's clear how the community feels at a glance.
  • Who reacted, so learners can see who appreciated their post.
  • Their own current reaction, highlighted so they know what they chose.

Like the rest of the community, reactions are available on content a learner is enrolled in. Reactions on a course a learner has not joined will not appear for them.

Tips

  • Reactions are a low-effort way to keep quieter learners involved — not everyone wants to write a comment.
  • A wave of Support reactions can be a strong signal that a learner needs more help or encouragement.
