The following is guidance for creating a podcast learning resource in myLearning. Online learning resources can be used as placeholders for eLearning, job aid, and podcast audio content. From the Administrator Console, navigate to the Resource tab and choose "Maintain Learning Resources." Please consider that creating a learning resource does not automatically place it in the course catalog. That is a separate step. If you would like to add a learning resource to the catalog please submit a course catalog request.
Click on New, to create a new learning resource.
Select a tab below to learn about its setup within a learning resource:
Step 1
Choose On-Line Training/CBT from the Type of Resource drop down menu.
Step 2
Enter a course title.
Step 3
Enter a course description (this is only seen on the back-end/admin side of myLearning).
DO NOT ADD A TIME REQUIREMENT.
Step 4
Choose “Active” from the Resource Status drop down menu, to make your course Active.
Step 5
Choose “Podcast” from the Delivery Method drop down list.
Step 6
Choose your Provider group from the Provider drop down list.
Step 7
Click Allow Multiple Enrollments if you would like learners to be able to take the courses more than once AND get a new completion date on their history for each time they complete it. If you do not check this box, learners will not get a new completion date on their history for each time they complete the course; only the 1st date of completion will show.
- Enter a course description. This is seen by learners who want to enroll into the learning resource, and will appear on the course display page for the learning resource.
- Enter the course objectives on this tab. The course objectives entered here will display on the course display page.
- Choose a completion certificate. If your respective area/entity does not have a specific completion certificate, please select 'Certificate of Completion' from the list.
- Suppress the Comments and Ratings Box
- Choose the Level 1 evaluation you would like to attach to your course. The “LTI Team - eLearning Evaluation” is universal and available for System Administrator to obtain learner feedback for eLearning content.
- On the Owners Sub Tab
- You should see yourself as the owner of the course. If applicable designate your team as course owners. If you have multiple System Administrators in your dept., you should have a team of owners to serve as a back up. If you do not see a team for your dept. please submit a help desk ticket to request that a team is created.
- Click Save.
- Choose “None” from the Compatibility/Compliance Model menu list.
- Choose the score model, “The Resource is marked complete upon entry (launch).
