The process of chronicling your learning experience using the EnGrip Extension is called gripping. The added content is called Grips. And we’d like to call you, our beloved user, as an EnGripper. ☺

Basically, a Grip contains information about the learning undertaken such as the source URL, topics covered, time you spend for learning, and project details.

It’s basically a browser button. Using this, you can chronicle your learning experiences—easily and efficiently.

It offers a gamut of benefits. Please visit our Home Page to know more about how it is helpful for your career growth and learning activities. Also, check out Why EnGrip page. Or, simply email us and we will explain things in person.

Visit our extension settings page.

You will be asked to sign into the application, if you haven't already. Once you are logged in, you will find the following on

1. Add following topic(s) - Mandatory
   • Please enter the topics that describe your learning interests, like 'software design', 'video editing', 'php' or 'JavaScript'.
   • This will help EnGrip Extension to identify your online learning sessions. And with your permission it will chronicle your learning activity.
     
     Please note that to start using EnGrip Extension, you need to add at least one topic.
2. Add following website(s) – Optional
• To get the best out of EnGrip, please enter the website URL(s) that you visit to learn about your profession or interests, like techcrunch.com, stackoverflow.com, or w3schools.com.
• EnGrip Extension will check the pages that you visit and when you are on one of your most frequented sites, it will ask if you'd like to capture your learning.

Note: If you have already signed in, a blue e will appear on the browser extension. If you haven’t logged in, will appear on the browser extension.

You can chronicle your learning experiences using the EnGrip Extension in two ways:

1. Setting EnGrip Extension
2. Add Manually through EnGrip Extension

Setting EnGrip Extension

• Please refer to How to start using the EnGrip Extension above.
• When EnGrip Extension finds out that you are on a page of your learning interest, it will prompt you for permission to track the learning.
• If you agree, you will be able to enter more details for this learning experience, such as who can see your learning and which project it's for.
• Finally, click on "Save" button to grip the learning entry.

Add Manually

• Click on the EnGrip icon: a next to the address bar of your browser.
• You will be presented with a menu to enter more details for this learning experience, such as who can see your learning and which project it's for.
• When you add a topic to your learning interests, you will be automatically notified for any future learning matching this topic.
• Finally, click the "Save" button to add the learning entry.
• We advise you update your extension settings with your latest learning interests. So EnGrip Extension can prompt you whenever you visit a page of interest. This will prevent any loss of data by removing the need to manually save learning experiences.

Certainly, it’s not necessary!

You need to visit our website only to modify your extension settings, view your Knowledge Profile, or explore your community.

However, you must be signed in to grip your learning through the EnGrip extension.

If you can’t find a Grip for a topic while searching, it is quite possible that no one has gripped any learning matching that topic. Besides, you are using EnGrip beta version with limited users. So, just go ahead and grip the topics even if it is not available on search. It will certainly help other users too.

Yes, you can!

And that’s not all. When you add a topic to your learning interests, you will be automatically notified for any future learning matching this topic.

Yep. You cannot edit or delete a grip. But you can change the visibility of a grip from public to private.

This might be because of two reasons:

1. You are not signed in to EnGrip. Click on the next to the address bar of your browser and sign in again.
2. EnGrip extension searches the meta section of a visited page to match your learning interests. So, if the page you doesn’t have any mention of your learning interests in its meta section, then you might not get an alert.

But remember, you can manually grip a topic by clicking on the EnGrip icon: next to the address bar of your browser.

To grip your learning, you need to install a browser extension.

Currently, we have this extension available only for Chrome (version 54 and above), Mozilla Firefox (version 49 and above), and Opera ( version 41 and above).

Also, our extensions don’t work on the mobile version of these browsers.

So if you are using your mobile, you will get the same alert. But don’t worry! Very soon, we shall make EnGrip compatible with mobile devices too. Just bear this inconvenience for now.

Sorry, without installing the EnGrip extension, you cannot create grips and chronicle your learning experiences.

  2. Click "Save" to save the image as your profile image.
