Important Information about Learning Programs

Learner Enrollment

You can enroll a learner into a learning program in one of two ways:

1. Enroll the learner individually.
2. Enroll the group in which the learner is a member.

These enrollments are treated independently. If you enroll a group, and later withdraw a member of that group from the learning program, the rest of the group is unaffected. Also, if you enroll an individual learner, then enroll a group to which that learner is a member, the learner is not double-assigned.

Group Enrollment

Note the following:

• If you remove a learner from an enrolled group, he is automatically withdrawn from the learning program unless he has already completed it. No further steps need to be taken.
• If you remove a learner from an enrolled group, his completion data for the learning program (In Progress or Completed) remains in the system, even if he has not made any progress within the learning program.
• If you add additional members to an enrolled group, those learners are automatically enrolled in the learning program.

  Exception: If you add a new subgroup directly under the ALL USERS group (visible only to Company Admins), those members are not automatically enrolled. You must enroll them individually, or add them to a different group.

Completion Status

Enrolling in a learning program is considered the first step of starting the program or course; as a result, the learning content is automatically displayed in the learner's learning transcript immediately upon enrollment. For more information about completion status, see Learning Program Completion Criteria.

Learning Programs within a KnowledgeCenter

If a learning program is used in a KnowledgeCenter roadmap, learners must be assigned and enrolled in the learning program before they can see it in the KnowledgeCenter. If they are not assigned, they will see an error message. If they are assigned but not enrolled, the learning program appears empty in the KnowledgeCenter roadmap details page.
