Restrict Resource Visibility to Authorized Users Only
6/15/2015 - Posted by Latitude

 

If you have a document or media file that you want a subset of employees to review, but you do not want all of your users to be able to access, it is possible to create a “hidden” resource within the LMS. Adding a Resource with an end date in the past renders the record inactive, making it unsearchable and inaccessible through the Resource Catalog options provided in the left navigation menu. Using the unique resource link (URL) as Self-Study course content, you can then create an approval-required course to ensure that only targeted learners with approved enrollment can access the resource material.

Using LMS Data Pickers to Conduct Searches and Edit Records
6/4/2015 - Posted by Latitude Learning Team

LMS data Pickers provide users a fluid way to search for various types of records and filter data for field entry selections. Pickers are designed to assist administrators in scoping their search to view records (e.g. the Search User process) and to provide only the valid options for field entries in Add/Edit forms (e.g. during the Add Course process, when you must Choose Organizations to add a course to catalogs within Business Units.)

Pickers are found throughout the LMS and function in similar ways, regardless of the type of search taking place or the purpose of the resulting selection. This document will refer to a few of the more common data pickers as examples.

Process Rosters to Document Enrollment and Credit for Course Offerings
6/2/2015 - Posted by Latitude

When managing student enrollment in classroom Offerings for in-person or online instructor-led courses, it is often necessary to make adjustments to the class Roster. Portal Administrators and Instructors can use the Roster Management feature to perform common tasks such as processing student cancellations, making user substitutions from the waitlist, allowing enrollment over the set maximum, and documenting course completions -- pass, fail or otherwise -- for all attendees.

Employee Oversight and Approval Management
6/1/2015 - Posted by Latitude Learning Team

Employee Oversight and Approval Management Portal Administrators can establish approval requirements for LMS users attempting any of the following activities: 

--Course Enrollment: A student enrolls in a course that is set to require management approval.  

--Interest Lists: A student is ineligible or otherwise unable to enroll in a desired course, and therefore expresses an interest in attending in the future. 

--User Self Registration: A new user wants to register for an account in your LMS portal. Any LMS user who is assigned a supervisory Position will have Employees and Approvals tabs enabled on his or her Classic home page or on the Navigation page. 

These dynamic information feeds allow managerial oversight of all users assigned to the same Organization with direct reporting relationships, as well as easy management of their approval requests as described above.

Setting Up a Course Deadline and Due Date Reminders
5/21/2015 - Posted by John Schroeder

Latitude Learning has made it easy for LMS administrators to set course completion deadlines, as well as automated due date reminders for enrolled students. Setting a course deadline does not create a universal “due date” in the traditional sense, but instead sets a strict timeline for the number of days in which an individual user is granted access to the course, counting from their Enrollment Date forward. If a user does not complete the course within the outlined time frame, he or she will be blocked from viewing the course details and all associated content.

Restrict Course Visibility and Enrollment Timeline
5/20/2015 - Posted by Latitude Learning Team

A Course Catalog, or the list of courses to which users have access, is made available at the Business Unit level of the LMS organizational structure. Assigning courses to one or more Business Units is the fundamental way in which Portal Administrators scope course accessibility and create unique course catalogs to meet the specific training requirements of each organization.

While the Business Unit offers a high-level filter for course visibility and access rights, many other settings determine an individual user’s ability to find, view, and enroll in a course within his or her Course Catalog. Learn how to utilize various date settings in Course and Offering setup to restrict visibility and enrollment options.

Utilize Wait Lists for Classroom Course Enrollment
5/15/2015 - Posted by John Schroeder

When a Portal Administrator or Instructor is enrolling others in a Classroom course, some scenarios are likely to occur:

  • There are not enough seats left in the Offering to accommodate those who are trying to enroll in it.
  • There is room for some extra students, but the maximum enrollment limit has been reached. For instance, an Offering may have moved to a room with a larger capacity than originally noted.
  • An enrolled student cancels, opening a seat for another user.
The Latitude Learning LMS  helps you manage these and other scenarios using the flexible functionality of the Wait List feature.

Set Prerequisite Rules for a Course or Course Series
5/14/2015 - Posted by John Schroeder

Prerequisites are used to define enrollment eligibility rules, which are enforced by the LMS during the course enrollment process. Portal Administrators can establish rules related to a user’s position, user group membership or training history to specify eligibility requirements. These rules are strict, but can be adjusted at anytime. The concept is to configure courses to reserve enrollment for students who fulfill eligibility criteria, and therefore prevent all others from enrolling.

Manage Student Training History - Review, Add, Edit Transcripts
5/5/2015 - Posted by Latitude Learning Team

LMS Administrators and Instructors have the ability to search for users and view their training history. Visibility of users is scoped to the Organizations for which the administrator or instructor has active profiles with the appropriate Position and Role assignments (i.e. A user’s employee list is scoped according to Position hierarchy and Company vs. Location level profiles). Portal Administrators also have the ability to edit a student’s training history and add or inactivate transcripts.
