3. How do I access courses?
As soon as you complete the registration and payment process, you will be invited to establish a account. PLEASE NOTE THAT ACCOUNT ACCESS IS CURRENTLY 12 MONTHS IN DURATION. When you receive an email invitation, you must accept the invitation (by clicking on the invite link), and you will be added as a member in a community. Once community membership has been established, you will automatically have a list of available courses. You may then choose to enroll in any of the available courses, which will move the course under your My Courses tab.
4. Can I remove courses I do not want listed under My Courses or My Available Courses tab?
You can move courses you do not wish to see listed on your My Courses tab by choosing to either Archive or Withdraw from the Course. Archiving the course will move the course under the Archive tab. It can be moved between Archive and My Courses as desired to customize the My Courses view. Choosing to withdraw from a course will remove it from the My Courses view. Withdrawing from a course will no longer show any related progress within the User, Course, or Community reports.
5. If I Withdraw or Archive a course from my available course list, will I lose my progress status or completion status?
Your course progress record will be retained if you move a course from your list of available courses. Should you decide to return to a course that you partially completed previously, you can begin where you left off in that course. The only time completion status would be lost, or reset to zero progress, is if an Administrator resets your course progress.
6. When two courses have the same training asset (such as a lecture or demo) listed in their outline, do I need to view the asset in each course for completion credit?
You do not need to complete training assets multiple times. When you complete any lecture demo, or lab, you get completion credit for that asset. If it appears in another course outline, it will be marked complete.
7. Can depreciated content items be viewed?
Content items that are flagged as depreciated cannot be launched or viewed. These items are outdated or being retired for other reasons. The depreciated items remain in the system for progress reporting and history purposes. On some occasions a grey launch button will appear next to some content items. Users will be unable to launch those videos or labs. Administrators may chose to temporarily disable content in this manner while troubleshooting or redesigning courses.
8. Will I be able to take a quiz/evaluation more than once?
Generally, the answer to this is yes. However, quizzes can be customized to limit the number of attempts and ability to view past results. After launching a quiz, there may be a “My Previous Results” button. Clicking this allows you to view Quiz results. Following the “Quiz Details” link will provide additional details including the question, points, correct answer, and your answer.
9. Where can I find my course completion report/certificate?
Once a course has been completed a “Completion Certificate” link will display next to the course if listed in either your My Courses or Archived Courses tabs. Clicking this link will allow you to view and subsequently print a completion certificate. A “View Completion Certificate” link is also available if you navigate to a completed course that you are currently enrolled in.
