Multi-Lingual SCORM Module

I am wondering if you can point me in a direction for this.We are looking to combine our English and Spanish versions of each individual module into one module so that the LMS tracks either version as one object. The learner would choose their preferred language at the start of each module.  I have been researching this topic and have not found mush on it. Any help in pointing to resources would be much appreciated.

Learner Communication: Completion Criteria

Does anyone have a good way that you communicate to students how completion criteria work in a course?In Ti, a check mark and status circles can mean different things depending on the page type. We primarily use video and assessments as completion criteria but have found that a green check mark or bubble don’t communicate the same thing per page.We’ve included a ‘Before You Begin’ slide-deck (a few examples below) to inform learners what tools are available in a course and we feel like completion criteria should be explained just as easily.

Poor Image Resolution

Hi all, When you create content in pages like highlight zones, TI suggests the resolution to be 1000x563px. This is horrible resolution as learners wont be able to see the finer details in the image. Im wondering if any of you found a workaround for this?

Limit Days of Access After Enrollment? on Learning Path

I’m building a learning path, and I’ve limited the days of access after enrollment to 180 days. However, the learning path is composed of courses that all have 90 days as their “limit days of access after enrollment.” will this contradiction of access days affect learners? Which access date will override the other? The 90 days within the individual course or the 180 set for the learning path?

Session Titles different than Catalog Settings Title

Hey everyone! I’d love to discuss the pros and cons of using content Session Titles with back-end-facing naming conventions compared to using content Catalog Setting Titles with customer-facing naming conventions.For example, we want to include the course number (SKU) in the Session Title to differentiate like-named courses. So for a course titled Troubleshooting with the SKU FAS 360 2022, the Session Title would be “Troubleshooting (FAS 360 2022)” and the Catalog Settings Title would be “Troubleshooting”. See screenshot below: This change will help us as we have other courses with the name Troubleshooting but with different SKUs as some are intermediate-level and some are advanced. So when making registration codes and learning paths, the different course names will be easier to identify in the course list from the search. However, we have noticed, that despite the Session Title being back-end facing, it is what appears on our certificates as we include the “Content Title” as a field

How do you manager ILT in a Learning Path?

There is so much to consider.  The only thing that I am certain of is that you would NEVER put an individual session in a Learning Path unless that LP has a short shelf life.  Currently I am adding the Parent/Root/Primary content to the LP but the way ILT is structured, I find it all very confusing.  I then select to let the learner chose from any session available. Sometimes this works and sometimes not.What to do to keep it clean?  Are you archiving your past events or just unreleasing them?  I would love to do a Zoom and let you share your best practices with me if you are willing.  Thanks for the consideration and add what you can here for others who also struggling with ILT in a LP.

Downloadable Resource Content Type

Hi Everyone! We are looking for a way to easily assign downloadable content to individual learners.We have tried articles but it doesn’t look great at all when trying to use it just for the file download. For Instructional videos, we are able to use the video content type.For Downloadable PDFs we are able to use a micro course with a PDF viewer with download enabled.We have yet to figure out how to share a downloadable excel file or similar items. Does anyone have any experience in trying to do this? What did you find works the best?

Featured Content Carousel - Item Order

Hi Everyone - I’m trying to see if I can re-order the content without having to go in and recreate them all everytime I add something to a featured content carousel. Has anyone found a way to do this?

Searching

I’d love for Ti to have a more powerful search function. Automatic would be good where by you don’t need to press enter. Also having a wider - free text - search across the platform and not just within the course layout.  We use the course content for some pretty content/data heavy stuff and at the moment I need to ensure our learners know that they need to search within the course layout to find what they need and even then the results are not the easiest to understand. They wont find it from the main search as the 500 character limit means I can’t add nearly enough options to even come close. Does anyone else have improvements they’d like to see in the searching?

Course Complete Filter

Hello - Has anyone implemented or know of a way I can set TI up to allow my learners to filter based on if they completed a course or not, from the Catalog view on the Learner Dashboard? Some of my internal learners are stating it would be nice to hide the courses they have already completed. I’ve searched within TI and the Help Center articles but haven’t found anything, not sure it would be possible out of the box. Any information or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

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).
