COURSE GROUPS
| Tip |

Video: Course Groups Overview |
Course groups are used as part of the self-registration process and do not relate to courses used in Lucidity Competency in any way. Course groups allow self-registered users to select the required courses they need to complete for their particular location and/ or type of work. In conjunction, administrators can use a course group to automatically assign particular courses to every self-registered user as mandatory.
Course groups can be structured in such a way that the self-registered user can chose which course pathway is applicable to their individual situation. This works like a chose-your-own-adventure scenario. Common options are selecting the state or project the user will be working in.
The example below shows an example scenario where location is used as the initial selection and shows the administrator, user selection and user completion screens.
This particular scenario has two levels of selection - the first being location and the second being work position. This is completely configurable and can be set up with no selection (ie - the course groups are all mandatory and automatically assigned) or can be set with several selection options. A combination can also be set.
Administrator Screen (click to enlarge images) | User Selection Screen | User Completions Screen |
|---|---|---|
The mandatory course is mandatory for all users and therefore won't display as a selection - it will automatically display to all users.  | The user firstly selects their location and then chooses their work position (employee or manager in this example). | The user is required to complete the mandatory Company Wide Induction course, the location based Star Wars Galaxy course and the selected manager course.  |

Deleting Course Groups Deleting a course group cannot be undone - always use the delete function with caution. Any course group deleted in error will need to be recreated.
