Bob Brooks transfers to a new branch. There is a specific occupational and health and safety elearning course Bob needs to take related to evacuating from the new building he’s working in.
Ordinarily, someone from HR would have to assign that course to Bob. Ask Bob to do it. Make sure it’s done. And report back to legal.
We know how tedious this sort of work can be!
What if you could assign Bob Brooks to the new building in your LMS … and the required evacuation course was assigned automatically to anyone working in that building?
You can do that in Ecampus LMS.
Assigning Users to Learning Content
What if you want to assign a course to everyone in a particular job role? You can do that, too. Assign a new course to the job role. Because Bob has that job role, he (and anyone else in that job role) will automatically be assigned to that new course, too.
If Bob changed departments, any courses related to that department would be assigned to Bob, too.
Let’s say a group of people are all going to be working from home one day a week. The IT department has a brief course they want them to take. The Ten Things You Need to Know About Telecommuting course.
No problem. Just assign the course to the group of people working from home. Everyone in the group is automatically assigned to the telecommuting course.
You can assign courses:
- directly;
- by Job Position;
- by physical location;
- by department;
- by group.
Now, what if a certain job role requires understanding of one part of a course? But the rest of the course is irrelevant? No problem! Helpfully, courses are made up of modules. You can just assign the relevant part of the course – in the form of a module – to the job position.
This sort of power is really handy!
We’ve made a video explaining how this works in Ecampus LMS. So if you have a spare 2 minutes it might be worth a look. Plus – you get to see the stock image we selected for Bob Brooks!
