Types of Trainings

Thanks to this feature you will be able to specify how you are going to enroll a student in a training, what requirements there will be.

There are now four types of trainings. The first one is set up when creating a new training. And the other three are configured once it has been created, managing the list of enrolled students.

Public Training

When creating a new training, in the pop-up menu to set it up it, you will see a new option in the Enrollment Settings section:

Public Training: activating this flag the training will be visible to ALL USERS of the tenant, whether they are enrolled in the training or not. The training will be displayed to students in their Recommended carousel, but the thumbnail will not have the Recommended marker. From there they will be able to click, access the course information window and enroll if they wish. Through this option you won't have to "recommend" the course one by one to all the users of the tenant.

This option can be modified as many times as you want once the training has been created. If you deactivate it, the training will no longer be visible to all users. You can check if this option is activated or not directly in the training list, by checking the Public Training column.

Types of Training

Once the training has been created, enter the Students tab to Summon Students, and you will find three different options (whether the Public training option is activated or not):

Recommended Training: similar to the former Free Enrollment option, the training will appear in the user's Recommended carousel, now with the Recommended marker on the thumbnail. The students will be able to view the course information and enroll if they wish. It works in a similar way to the Public Training, but not being a global action, selecting only some specific users.
Optional Training: this option automatically enrolls the student in the training, but does not require him to complete it. The course is shown in his My Learning carousel, but without the Mandatory marker. You can use this option to encourage students to participate in a particularly course, without making it mandatory.
Mandatory Training: this is equal to the former option of enrolling a student in a training for mandatory completion. The course is shown in his My Learning carousel, with the Mandatory marker.

You can change the type of training as many times as you like. When checking the list of students enrolled in a Training, in the right column you can see the type of training they have been assigned. Clicking on the box next to their name, the options to change the type of training or to exclude them are shown at the bottom of the screen. This action can be massive, several users can be selected and their status can be changed at the same time.

Of course, in the same Training there can be students with different types of training at the same time.

For the Group Enrollment and the Pathway Trainings, the types of Trainings and their functioning are the same.
