What learners see on your learning site

This is the learner’s side of your learning site, so you can answer their questions. To try it yourself, select Open as a learner on the Site page.

Why use it

When a course requires watching a set share of a video before completion or credit, learners see their progress update as they watch, so they always know how close they are.

Sign in

Learners open your site’s link and enter their email under Sign in to your site’s name, then select Send login link. The link in the email signs them in; there’s no password. If you offer single sign-on, they use that instead.

Who gets in depends on the site’s Who can learn here setting. On a Members only site, someone who isn’t a member can sign in but sees a members-only message.

Home

Home greets them and shows how many certifications they hold and how many courses are to do or overdue. Then:

• Continue where you left off: the course they were last in, with Continue.
• My learning: what you assigned them, and what they started.
• Explore: everything the site showcases, with a search box. New courses and certifications appear here once you publish them.

Take a course

A course is a set of pages: things to watch, read, answer, do or acknowledge. Each shows what finishes it, for example Completes when you reach the end for a video. When the last page is done, they see You finished this course and the next one, if there is one.

If the course requires watching before completion, a video page shows Watch at least 80% of this video to finish it, with a bar and how much is left. See Require watching before completion.

Quizzes

• A quiz shows the pass mark. Below it, they see You scored 64%. You need 80%. and can retake it if you allow more than one attempt. A quiz that draws from the question bank asks different questions on a retake.
• Timed quizzes open with Timed quiz: 20 minutes and the rules: the clock starts at Start quiz and keeps running if they leave the page, and when time is up their answers are submitted for them. They can hide the timer with Hide timer.
• Written answers are scored by a person. Until then the quiz says A person is scoring your written answers. You’ll hear when it’s done. and You can retake once it’s scored. Once you score it, they see Reviewed: 85%. You passed. (or Not passed yet.). See Score written answers.

Credit and certificates

If a course carries credit, its last page says Finishing this course earns the credit. Depending on how you set credit up, it’s added for them (Credit earned) or they select Claim credit. Either way it goes on their transcript under My progress, and View certificate opens the certificate of credit.

Finishing everything a certification requires shows You’re certified!, with the date it’s valid until and a verification code. Certificates lists every certificate they hold. Anyone can check a certificate on the site’s Verify a certificate page with its code.

Note

When you update a lesson that a certification depends on, people who hold it see Refresh due on that lesson. Redoing the changed parts keeps their certification current.
