Offer credit on your courses

Credits lets a course carry continuing-education credit that learners claim when they finish. It is on from the start for associations. Companies turn it on when they need CPE, CLE or nursing hours.

Why use it

Learners who need continuing-education hours want proof they can hand to a licensing board or an employer. With Credits on, a finished course awards its credit, the learner downloads a certificate and a transcript, and you can see every claim in one place instead of tracking hours in a spreadsheet. Turning it on adds the common CPE, CLE and CEU credit types, so a company can start awarding hours straight away.

Turn on Credits

Go to Credits and select Turn on Credits. Only an organization admin can turn it on. A line confirms that Credits is on and reminds you to set the credit on each course.

Turning it on adds NASBA CPE Credit, CLE Credit and IACET CEU to your credit types if you don’t have them yet, so a company can award CPE, CLE or CEU hours straight away. Credit types you already have, and their wording, are left as they are.

What Credits shows

Your credit types: the credit you offer, from your setup answers.
Latest claims: who claimed what, each with a Certificate you can print or save as a PDF.
Claim sites: course credit needs no claim site; learners claim at the end of the course.

Set a course’s credit

Credit is set per course, by a person, when you review the draft. See Make a course from a recording.

Learners watch the videos first

If a course with credit has video steps, learners must watch a share of each video before they can claim. The share is 80% unless you change it.

Sessionboard counts the seconds the learner actually played. Skipping ahead to the end doesn’t count, and watching the same minute twice counts once. Until the learner has watched enough, the lesson shows Watch to 80% to claim credit with how far they are, and Claim credit stays off.

To change the share for a course:

Open the course's credit

Go to Courses and select the course’s credit in the Credit column.

Set how much to watch

Open More options and enter a percentage from 50 to 100 under Learners must watch this much of each video to claim credit.

Save

Select Save. Leave it at 80 to keep the default.

Steps that don’t play a video, such as reading, quizzes and links, work as before.

How learners claim credit

Finish the course

The learner completes the last lesson and watches enough of each video.

Attest

The finish card shows Claim with your attestation text. They tick the box.

Claim

They select Claim credit. The credit goes on their transcript, and View certificate opens the certificate.

Learners see their credit under My progress on your learning site and can download their transcript as a PDF or Excel file. You can download any learner’s transcript from Learners.
