Add a New Course to the Library

You can add a new course, with a non-WBT delivery method, to the library. For example, you can add company procedures, video titles, or classroom training, and then assign the content as part of your learning program.

Note: Courses added to a non-WBT library will not utilize the SCORM or AICC standards. To communicate with the Advanced Compliance system, completions must be entered by the administrator or uploaded through an import process. For courses with an HTML link delivery method, users can confirm that the course was accessed to achieve a completion.

To add a new course to the library

  1. Click Content > Library on the navigation bar.
  2. In the Non-WBT Courses section, click Add Course to Library.
  3. On the Add/Edit Course page, enter the course information in each field (if applicable):

    Field

    Description

    Course Title

    Enter the title as you want it to display in the learning plan.

    Course Number

    If you use a numbering system to catalog your courses, enter the course number.

    Library

    Enter the course category (for example, Human Resources, Ethics, or Environmental, Safety and Health).

    Version

    Enter a version number to help you track the most recent version of the course.

    Delivery Method

    Indicate the course training method, such as video, classroom, or CD. If you add a course with delivery method HTML Link, you can also specify a URL which the user can launch from his learning plan.

    Link to this URL

    Displays for delivery method HTML Link only. If the course delivery method is HTML Link, enter the URL that users should be directed to from the learning plan.

    Completion Dialogue

    For HTML links, there are three options:

    • Manual Entry: Course completions may be entered by the administrator, just as other non-WBT completions are entered.
    • Completion Dialogue: The user is presented with a dialog box after the HTML content is displayed. The user can either Confirm that he has reviewed the material or Cancel to exit without generating a completion. If the user confirms review of the material, a completion is automatically created for that HTML link and the link is moved to the completed section of the user’s learning plan.
    • Do not show Completion Dialogue: The course is marked complete immediately after the user launches the link, and no confirmation dialog box is shown.
