A Learning Initiative is a series of assignments curated for employees and supervisors by Human Resources – Employee Relations & Development (ER).

Learning Initiatives are content bundles closely representing learning tracks. Within each Learning Initiative, an administrator can create multiple stages (or phases) which contain a set of courses. Additionally, a Learning Initiative can be configured to reset at specific intervals (annually, monthly, etc.) depending on the requirements of your training regimen. Organizations utilize this feature to build curriculums for areas such as onboarding, new manager training, or annual compliance training.

Assignments are used to require learners and teams to engage with individual content items on a specific timeline. One-off assignments can be made to a single Learner or to a Team. Individual assignments allow for the administrator to assign a due date and easily track the completion of the learner's assignment.

A playlist is a way for learners to bookmark or save content in a specified area to review later. Learners are able to add or remove content from the playlist at any time. Learners can access their playlists from the homepage or the Playlists tab under My Learning.

A team playlist is recommendation of training modules by human resources or your respective departments. Playlists are a great way to provide Teams and learners with recommended content, without making it a required assignment. Multiple playlists may be created for each team, and up to 30 courses can be added to each. Teams can utilize featured playlists to highlight content for monthly topics, ongoing reminders, or content that will need to be accessed frequently.

To access a full list of your assigned courses, select My Learning from your main menu drop-down. Once you’ve accessed the My Learning screen, select the Assignments tab. Please see below for the common course statuses and their meanings.
