Control Panel Font Gone Whacky

Has anyone else been seeing this in the control panel?  Fonts out of alignment and taking on new sizes.

Reverse Question Upload Order in Question Library

Hey everyone! I have submitted a help ticket on this issue and received feedback that this is now the intended function of the question library. However, I’m wondering if this new intended function has caused any difficulty for y’all. We believe this change happened in late Spring of this year as we built all of our quizzes in Fall of last year and early this year, so we have not built as many quizzes since to notice, but now it’s starting to become an issue in terms of QA-ing questions.Here’s the actual issue I’m referring to:In the question library, I noticed that the questions were being added in the reverse order, where newly added questions appear at the top rather than being added to the bottom in the category. This means that what was originally supposed to be question #1 will appear as the last question when added to the library and/or an assessment page. Prior to May of this year, when a question was added, it would remain at the top of the list and any subsequent questions wo

How do you use tags?

Hi TI Community, My organization would like to better organize our current content using tags. We are using TI for internal training (compliance training, role-specific training, and onboarding) and use content types like courses, articles, SCORM, VILT, and ILTs. We’d love to hear your examples/ideas since we are fairly new to utilizing TI and its tagging feature. What tagging strategy does your company/organization use? Do you prefer to organize it by departments/teams? Any and all suggestions are welcome! Thanks,Andy

Tracking Attendance of VILT plus recording watchers

We are fairly new to Ti and have not yet fully set up my part of the organization into using it. However I am in the process of planning out certain things and one of these are ILT/VILT sessions we have with parts of the organization once per week. We host a live and virtual session (large conference room, joined via zoom, then remote learners join the zoom session). The presenter does their thing, and a team processes the recording then uploads into our current LMS (Docebo). We’ve been tasked with finding a way of tracking those that attended live versus those that watched the recording. Right now, the only way we can do it is to extract the participants list from Zoom and upload it into the course in Docebo, then mark them as complete. I’m curious if anyone already using Ti has something in place with similar metrics they are trying to track. If so, how are you doing it? How do you correlate “this video” or “this course” is equilivant to “this VILT” in Ti?

any way to allow customers to choose 2 options for catalog searching?

We have custom fields that allow multiple values - and sometimes this would help our customers narrow down their options when searching in the catalog. Right now when they choose a value, that custom field section disappears and they cannot choose a 2nd value. Am I missing some way to change this?Thank you!

SCORM & TI?

Hello!I was hoping to connect with someone who has a fully integrated SCORM learning program with TI. Some things I am hoping to learn:What content authoring tool do you use and why?  Do you use standalone SCORM content or do you embed a SCORM page type within a native TI course? How is reporting? (more challenging?  - if so how/why?) If you already had a fully functioning learning program up and running in TI (all natively designed) would you make the transition to SCORM content? Or leave it alone? Anything else I should be aware of?If it’s easier to hop on a quick call to discuss - I’d love to set that up if preferred!  Thanks!Kristin

How to Mark Learners as Attended in ILTs?

How is everyone marking learners as attended for ILTs?The only way I’m seeing is to manually select all attendees and change to attended for each meeting. This is a really tedious process for us when we have 30+ attendees for 3 meetings and we can’t doublecheck our work because there is an hour delay on all bulk functions? I’ve tried the bulk import but it just marks people as completed and doesn’t grant certificates or CEUs.Has anyone found a better way to do this?

Best Practices for Live Presentation

Hello all! Our team is currently exploring how we want to integrate the live presentation segment of our courses into Ti learning path experiences. We are currently looking at creating slides in Adobe Captivate/PowerPoint, which instructors would then share on-screen during an ILT/VILT session.What are the best tools and practices you would suggest for integrating live class presentations into Ti learning path experiences?

ILT I Don't Get It. What are the meanings?

So in my four years with Ti, I have never built and ILT session, meeting, event, whatever it is.  The reason for this is simple.  COVID was happening and ILT was not.  I am trying to make up for lost time and need to start creating ILTs right now but I do not understand the difference between the Event, Session, and I think that the meeting is the actual date and time?  But then there is this root session that must also be a date and time. In short, it makes no sense to me and I am having trouble grasping the concepts.  What is a container for what?  I think the meeting is where the Learners go ultimately.  Can anyone put this in simple terms? The documentation could use a pictogram for how all of these parts fit to make a something people go to.

Updating SCORM using CAM

I have been poking around trying to find the answer to this question but could not really decipher what the answer is. When we update a SCORM in the CAM, the option asks “Revert progress and display changes for all learners”. In this instance, if we revert progress, will the courses that this SCORM file lives in also revert to being not complete or just the SCORM itself? We have courses where this SCORM lives and while we made updates that we want to show for any users who return to the SCORM, we don’t necessarily want to mark them as not having completed it, so just wanted to see how this should actually work.

Removing the word "Article" from article types

Hi all, I’m very new to Ti.  I’m looking for the best way possible embed videos from Vidyard.  I think the best way to do this would be through the article type, but then i have the print/share/favorite links along with “article” heading. Is there a better solution I’m not thinking about, or if not, is there a way i can remove that top header? Thanks in advance!

Preview open in new tab

Currently, when you Preview a course from the course group page, it opens in the same tab. It would be nice for this to by default open in a new tab, which would mirror the preview functionality when preview from inside of a course.Some of our admins don’t have course authoring permissions so they can’t open the course to get to that camera-icon preview, that’s why we need this open in new tab functionality at the course group level here:We’re headless so the home buttons redirect out of Thought Industries, and the browser back button doesn’t always take the admin back to the admin page (or you have to hit it multiple times to do so).

Hiding a Course in the Catalog

We have a supplemental course that we offer for our learners. However, this is not a stand-alone course, as there is a larger course that should be taken prior to it. Currently, the larger course is offered alone or both are sold together as a learning path. However, for those who buy only the larger course, we would like to add a promotional page to the course that refers them to the supplemental course if they need more practice. The supplemental course is published but not released, so it will appear in the learning path but not the catalog. In order to add a catalog link to the promotional page for easy purchase, is there a way to release the supplemental course, but not have it visible in the catalog (only accessible through the link)? I’m aware of the Prerequisite Content option on the Enrollment tab, but is that the only option?

SCORM Open in NEW Window or Embed?

You have the ability to embed SCORM into the course window, or you can have it open in its own window.  Which do you prefer and why?  The new window option gives you the ability to size the window or accept the default size.  Embedded means less steps for the learner and less more likely that can seamlessly continue the course and/or end the course.  Thank you for your thoughts and considerations.

How do you let learners know they received a certificate?

Upon completion of your course, is there a feature you use or a route you take to let the learner know that their certificate has been awarded and is not able to be accessed under the “Certificate” tab of the dashboard?

Issue Certificate WITHIN Course

Is there a way so that upon completion of a Course (in particular, we’re using “course” and “ILT” types), the certificate can be made available within the course? We don’t want learners to have to go back to the dashboard (because in many cases we’re not even using the Ti dashboard). I have 2 ideas but am open to anything else!On the final “Exit Course” screen: On the left-side navigation menu, where either it ONLY appears after cert has been earned OR that tab is always visible but it just won’t be usable/relevant/direct to a cert until the cert has been issued

Allow learners of private (non-released) events to reschedule or cancel

Currently a learner cannot reschedule or cancel their session enrollment when an event is private (not released). This means admin intervention is needed when a learner needs to reschedule or cancel. A learner should be able to manage their session rescheduling or canceling regardless if the event is released or not.  It was recommended that we write a query on our public catalog page to exclude a tag. It is a great solution but would be a very heavy lift for us as we expect to host events for many customers. I do want to share the suggestion in the event it helps anyone else. Here is what was suggested:In that case, the only other recommendation I can make based on the way that it works in our platform, would be to use a content tag on your events that you'd like to use reschedule within a panorama and place those as negative tags within your public catalog widgets so that they are hidden from view. This is using the negative operator, more on this here: Writing a Search Query Specifi

Vimeo

Hi All -My Marketing Team is looking to expand our use of Vimeo and have looped me into the sales conversation from a training perspective. I vaguely remember a few individuals through TI Office Hours that had Vimeo experience and opinions around this video platform. Anyone willing to share their experience - good, bad, ugly? I am thrilled my Marketing Team is asking my opinion but would like to know if it's going to be a good fit for training our customers. Thank you all in advance!

CSS for Assignments (No Comments)

Good day all.  We use assignments a lot to say the least.  One thing we don’t care for is the view of comments just before the actual type or attach assignment.  Please vote this up as we have never found a use for comments and most users complain that they just start typing only to copy paste into type assignment.  Here is what it looks like by default and we want no comments ever.

Long Learning Paths

How do you build out your long learning paths? We have some that require 20+ pieces of content, so we’re looking to make them into a list view. When we do that any thumbnails are still brought into that view, which makes it still long. The only way to make this manageable is to remove the thumbnails to all the individual pieces of content, but then the beauty of that timeline view and any imagery is gone. Has anyone come up with a way of building out a loooong LP while still maintaining a visual page?
