Any user who creates and assigns courses should have Course Admin permissions in Habitat. To turn this on for a user, a user admin in your organization can enable the toggle via the People Tab in Habitat.
- Log in to Habitat and click on the Courses tab.
Click the Create new course button on the Courses dashboard.
Add a Course Title (Required) and Course Description (Optional). Set the course banner color (Optional).
Add Course Steps.
- Inkdoc - Select a specific Inkdoc and page that the user will need to access.
- External Link - Provide a specific URL the user will need to access.
- Activity - Create an Activity that the user will need to access and mark complete. You can also require an additional sign-off for this step.
- SCORM - Upload standards-based content in SCORM, AICC, xAPI, or CMI5 format. The maximum upload file size is 1000 MB. (Note: This option is only available with Inkling Learning Pathways Plus).
- Coaching & Feedback - Requires learners to upload an image or video to complete the step. This media submission is then sent to a manager/supervisor for their final approval or rejection, allowing the opportunity to add additional feedback that will be presented back to the learner. This feature is only supported via the Inkling app on native mobile devices.
- Assessment (Beta) - Require learners to pass an assessment before the step can be completed. Select an Inkdoc page that contains 1 assessment. See Use the Assessment Widget for more details. This feature is currently in Beta.
To publish a course, you must add at least one step. You can also set an Estimated step time for each step in the Course, allowing the user to see the estimated duration for each step.
Step times for all steps in a course will be aggregated and displayed on the course card.
Checking the box Steps must be completed in order when creating a course will require the learner to complete all the steps you have created in the order they appear. Steps can be reordered via drag-and-drop in the course builder.
Optionally, check the Course Completion box if you would like to require the trainer to sign off for the course to be completed.
- Optionally, select an Audience from the dropdown.
- Enable team managers to assign the course to learners in the field by choosing an audience.
- Skip this step if you are only using automated assignment rules.
Add users to an Audience if you want them to be able to manually assign courses.
After adding your steps and reviewing the optional settings, be sure to either save the Course as a Draft or Publish the course if it is ready for distribution. The Save Draft button will change to Save and Publish after the document is published for the first time.
Once the course is published, it must be assigned to users.
