One of your ideas has been delivered from your suggestion.Introducing Learning Events

The new Event learning type introduces a streamlined workflow for publishing instructor-led training directly to your learning catalog. Designed to simplify setup and enhance flexibility, events can be further defined using learning formats, such as In-Person, Webinar, and custom configurations tailored to organizational needs. 

You can deliver events as standalone offerings or include them in a course to create equivalency.

Canceling and Closing

  • Save time and reduce manual effort by canceling events and automatically withdrawing all enrolled learners with a single action.

    • During the process of closing and finalizing an event, a learning specialist can update any learners with assignments that aren't completed with a status of Didn't attend, Completed, or Withdrawn.
