COURSES

The Courses page is where administrators build eLearning courses. The courses can then be made available in Lucidity Induction and/ or Lucidity Competency. Courses can also form part of a Course Group.

Every time a course is completed a record is created.

Managing Courses

Courses can belong to a course group or can be stand alone courses. They will comprise of one or more modules and one or no assessment.

Course groups will only be required if eLearning is to be completed via self-registration. For all other eLearning, a stand alone course is sufficient.

Administrators can add new, edit, copy, archive and delete courses.

Definition of Fields

Name	Enter a name for the course It is recommended an internally developed set of naming conventions are followed
Description	Enter a description for the course This is the first description end-users will see and should contain an overview of what to expect within the course such as time required to complete, expected objectives etc
Valid For  Number of months until a record expires	If the course has an expiry time frame, enter the validity period in months. For example, if the course expires after two years, enter '24' Courses will become available to the end user for recompletion 30 days prior to the expiry date. Info Notifications Notifications can be enable to support this process. Contact Lucidity Support for more information.
Capability	If the course is required to be completed in Lucidity Competency, it must be linked to a capability. Select the relevant capability from the list. It is recommended the capability name is the same as the course name to prevent confusion. Refer to the Capabilities page within the Lucidity Competency user guide for more information.
Disabled Disabled courses are not available for users to complete	If a course is not required to be completed again, it can be marked as disabled. When ticked, a replacement course can be selected Image Modified The disabled course is available for administrators to manage and view completion records but cannot be completed by end-users. Any completion records will not be affected. If a replacement course is selected, Induction users who have yet to complete the course will now need to complete the replacement course instead. In order for this change to take effect for Competency users, the linked capability will need to be updated in the new course.
Course Groups	If the course is to be part of a course group and completed by self-registered users, it can be linked by selecting the course group from the list. Refer to the Course Group page in this user guide for more details

TESTING ELEARNING COURSES

Once eLearning courses are completely built, it is recommended they are fully tested from an end-user point of view to ensure they play as expected.

The resources themselves can be viewed from within the edit screen of a module but it is still important to test the full process in the same way an end user will.

Testing can be conducted in Lucidity Induction OR Lucidity Competency, depending on the site configuration, modules being used and tester knowledge.

To test eLearning in Lucidity Competency:

• Create the full course package including modules, resources and any assessment in Induction

• Link the course to a Competency capability

• Assign a need to the tester for the Competency capability

• From the tester's My Training Competency page, complete the training from start to finish

• Make any required adjustments to the course and retest until the desired result is achieved

To test eLearning in Lucidity Induction:

• Create the full course package including modules, resources and any assessment

• Add the course to a course group

• Log out and create a self-registered user profile

• Select the newly created course group

• Complete the training from start to finish

• Make any required adjustments to the course and retest until the desired result is achieved

Testing tips

The following is a list of recommendations when testing eLearning:

• Test in all browsers end users are likely to access (IE, Chrome etc)

• Test in all devices end users are likely to use (mobiles, tablets etc)

• Review SCORM and responsiveness technology where applicable

• Review content and questions for content/ spelling errors

• Have more than 1 tester review the entire course from end to end

VERSION CONTROL

Content within eLearning courses may require updates from time to time. A decision needs to be as to how this is managed. There are two main options:

1. Update content within an existing course

   1. This option suits minor updates such as spelling, name changes etc

   2. This method suits a scenario where users DO NOT need to re-complete the course due to the content change

   3. This method is quick and easy as the course name, linked capability, existing records etc do not need to be changed

   4. It will not be possible to report on who has completed V1 as opposed to V2 (completion dates could be utilised if required)

2. Create new course

   1. This option suits major changes such as an entire new chapter within a module, changes to policies outlined in the module etc

   2. This method suits a scenario where users may be required to re-complete the entire course (although not a requirement)

   3. This method requires disabling the original version and creating an entire new course

      1. If V1 expires and end users are then required to complete V2, it is recommended the capability within Competency is kept the same and the link to the Induction course within V2 is updated to the same capability.

         1. This will avoid complexities with the capability being associated in Competency training roles, Onsite access areas etc. 

         2. Completion dates can be utilised to determine if V1 or V2 was completed

      2. If reporting on who has completed V1 and V2 is required from Competency and the completion date method is not sufficient, a new capability linked to the course is also required.

         1. Note training roles and Onsite access areas will also need to be updated where relevant.
