When creating an assignment, you need to assign the training to learners by their learner group and/or their job roles.
This allows you to search for learner groups by name and assign the relevant training content.
There are two ways to create an assignment.
Step 1: Navigate to the MANAGE tab, click MANAGE ASSIGNMENTS and click CREATE ASSIGNMENT.
- OR -
Navigate to the HOME tab and click CREATE ASSIGNMENT.
Step 2: Select GROUPS.
Then search for and select the learner group(s) you would like to create the assignment for, and click NEXT.
Step 3: Search for or select the course(s) and/or Learning Path(s) the learner group needs to complete and click NEXT.
(Note: Content can also be dragged and dropped to create a specific learning order.)
Step 4: Configure the automation settings (optional), add a deadline (optional), and click NEXT.
Auto-assign
By default, all group assignments will auto-assign to new learners who meet the audience criteria for the assignment. This behaviour can be disabled by adding a date that will stop auto-assigning the assignment to new learners.
Note: When a stop date is not specified, we suggest that you use a time span deadline to avoid future learners from receiving an assignment with a deadline that has passed.
Deadline
- Time span: a user must complete the training within a certain time span of receiving it
- Specific date: a user must complete the training by a specific date
- No deadline: there is no urgency in completing the training.
Reassign Courses
Select this option if there are learners who have previously completed the selected courses and need to retake them.
Step 5: Review the assignment and click FINISH to create it.
Details such as the assignment name, type and description can be added here.
The estimated size of the audience that will receive the assignment can also be calculated.
Once an assignment is created, it will appear on the MANAGE ASSIGNMENTS page.
