Archiving Courses

We are updating our product and have all new courses coming out. We had a learning path for users to complete previously and I want them to still get credit for completing those. We are launching a new Learning Path and removing access to the other for new users and I don’t really want our current users to see those courses, but I do still want them to get credit for completing them since they are in essence the same content (just with the updates in the new versions.)

So, if I archive those original courses/learning paths, will users still show in the data or on their transcripts that they completed those items? And will we be able to pull reports to show their work?

I can’t seem to find this answer in any documentation about archiving.

Hi @LisaRollins  - we have the same question and I couldn’t find the “impact of archiving” in help either. 

As content becomes outdated and we archive it, what is the impact on the Learner’s Dashboard?

I’m also curious what happens to the statistics and reporting data for the archived content. 

I agree - greater clarity on the impact of archiving would be really helpful.

 

@kristine.kukich could this be an Office Hours session in the near future please?

I did submit a support ticket asking for clarification. I will post an update here with the response.

@Caroline Northam, @LisaRollins and @RKBrodeur  - I’ll bring it to the team and we’ll figure out how to present it. Thanks for the idea!

Hello Lisa, 

if I archive those original courses/learning paths, will users still show in the data?
Yes, Users will still be in the data and the course will have a (archived) beside its name. All reports will still have the data in them as the actions such as completion did happen.

or on their transcripts that they completed those items?
Items will still be available in the Transcript too for learner to see completions. 

Ruth’s follow up question:

The content will move to a Archived section of the activity widget.
 

 

All 3 off you did suggest information to be added so I will update the article in the upcoming days: https://support.thoughtindustries.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045730114-Archiving-and-Deleting-Content
