Hosting your own training courses

Hosted courses live under Settings → Training → Hosted courses. Each one completes a training record you already track, so finishing it counts on the matrix, crew readiness and the gap chaser exactly like an uploaded ticket.

Exporting from Articulate Rise 360 or Storyline

1. 1
   Publish for an LMS

   In Rise 360 or Storyline, choose Publish, then LMS. Pick SCORM 2004 (4th edition) unless you have a reason not to. xAPI, cmi5 and SCORM 1.2 all work too.

2. 2
   Set how it reports

   Choose how the course decides it is complete: by lessons viewed, or by passing a quiz. Connect reads whatever the course reports.

3. 3
   Download the zip

   Keep it zipped. You upload the zip itself.

Adding a course

1. 1
   Add a course

   Name it and choose what you are adding: a course package, a video, a PDF or a link.

2. 2
   Upload the content

   Connect checks the zip before uploading and tells you if it is the wrong export. Large courses upload file by file, with a progress bar.

3. 3
   Link the training record

   Choose which training record finishing this course gives a person, or create one with the same name.

4. 4
   Set the details

   An optional passing score, how many months the certificate is valid, and whether everyone can take it or only the people it is meant for. A certificate statement, if you add one, is printed on every certificate the course issues.

5. 5
   Preview and publish

   Preview opens it exactly as a worker would see it. Publish makes it available.

Requiring and assigning it

Required training says who must hold it, by position and by project. These are the same requirements as the rest of your training program, so anyone missing it shows as a gap on the matrix and gets reminded by the daily gap chaser.

Assign to people asks named people to take it, with an optional due date. Each person gets an email and finds it at the top of Available Training.

Progress lists everyone the course concerns: who has finished, who is part way, who has not started, and who is past their due date.
