About Passive Content

Passive Content (or non-trackable content) is typically used to supplement or enhance the learning experience as additional reference or resource material.

• Passive content does not communicate with Skillport or third-party LMS systems in any way.
• Skillport does record the date and number of times passive content is accessed and by whom.
• Skillport does not track the duration, score, or completion status for this content. The status of any passive object will be indicated as In Progress after that content item has been launched.  
• Typical file formats that are considered passive include .pdf, .doc, .xls, .zip, .txt, and .htm.  Examples of passive content include white papers, articles, Microsoft Office files, and media files.
• Any External Learning Object (ELO) published in Skillport is considered passive.
• All content (regardless of file format) hosted outside the Skillport hosting environment is considered passive.
