Learning Programs

A learning program is a group of courses that you can assign to users or groups, and designate completion requirements for, such as complete all, complete in order, or minimum duration in hours. A learning program can have multiple folders assigned to it, each with its own completion requirements.

Administrators can:

• Create a learning program
• Assign a group of courses to it
• Designate completion requirements for the learning program

The assignment of a learning program allows the Administrator to follow the current process of creating an assignment for a user or group, and at the time of assignment set the conditions in which the Learning Program is successfully completed, such as type, passing threshold, and number of days to complete the assignment.

Note: The Passing Threshold value for a learning program is applied to each course within the learning program; it is not a cumulative passing threshold.

The user’s learning plan displays a single title for each learning program, with (LP) displayed after the title. If you click the Learning Program name, the information about the Learning Program is displayed, including the Description.

If a Learning Program assignment is edited after it has been assigned to users, the following rules apply:

• If the Learning Program has been completed, the users will not have to complete based upon any updates to the Passing Threshold, and the Learning Program will stay marked as "completed".
• If the Learning Program has been partially completed, any courses that had met the passing threshold prior to the change will not be subject to the new passing threshold.
• Any courses in the Learning Program that have not been completed will now need to meet the updated passing threshold percentage.
• If the Learning Program passing threshold is lowered and, based upon that lowered threshold a user would now be eligible to pass a course, the user must re-launch the course in order to receive an updated completion status.
• Only custom Learning prerequisites may be edited. Certain Learning Programs such as "HAZWOPER Annual 8-hour Refresher" are defined and provided by Skillsoft and cannot be customized. To edit these Learning Programs, an administrator must first copy the Learning Program and then edit the contents.
• A Learning Program cannot be edited after it is assigned to a user or demographic group.
