COURSE CONFIGURATION


1: TIN CAN COURSE


You should now be at the 1: Tin Can Course tab and to begin to configure the course options.

Graphical user interface, text, application Description automatically generated

  • Tin Can CourseID (required) This is the course ID pulled from the uploaded file. Leave this as is, do not change it.
  • Course Title (required) This is what will show up as the course title in the Training Queue and under courses and will be used for reporting. The name will be input from the uploaded file; however, you can change or reword it.
  • Description (optional) Add a description of the course content or goals. This description will appear in the Courses tab and is searchable there.
  • Category (optional) Add the content to a category. This will allow members to filter content in the Training and Courses tabs. Categories can be added, changed, and deleted under Settings from the main navigation, then Categories. See the tutorial on Team Manager Settings Overview for more information on setting these categories.
  • Tags (optional) Enter keywords to associate with the course. These are searchable in the Courses tab.
  • Certified Select whether this course is a certification. Certification allows you to put in how many days the certification is good for and how many days before expiration the member will have access to re-certify in the course. For example, a certification that is good for a year that you want someone to have access to re-certify 30 days before expiration would be good for 365 days and start to re-certify after 335 days.
  • Points Points to be awarded when this course is completed or passed. This field will only be available if you have enabled gamification.
  • Levels Allows you to control access to courses. The minimum level is the minimum level the employee must be at for the course to display in their Training and in the Courses tab. The level after completing is the level the employee will be at once finished with the course. A minimum level is required. See the tutorial on Setting Team Manager Settings Overview for more information on setting these levels.
  • Email Results Turn on to have an email sent to the team email address whenever an employee finishes the course. The email will have the username, course completion, score, and questions and answers where applicable. This makes it easy to stay on top of who has completed training and for managers to review answers with employees.
