Important Reminders for Course Administrators
- Registrants will only see completed courses on their Training Summary if they have received a Final Attendance status of either Pass or Complete. If your instance is not integrated with Moodle, that means you should be marking final attendance for all registrants that complete your course.If you do not mark Final Attendance, the user will not see the course on their training summary nor under the ‘Completed Courses’ section on their dashboard — click here for more about Attendance
- When you have an instance connected to Moodle, it is important to remember that your registrants are connected to your Moodle space via a link based on the Course short name in the Moodle set up. If you change your Moodle Short Name, your registrants will need to be reconnected to your Moodle space — click here for more on reconnecting registrants.
- Looking for answers to basic questions that you frequently receive from participants? Check out our Frequently Asked Questions support page for numerous quick resources, such as “How do I know if I have credit for completing an online training?” or “How do I register my coworker for a course?”
