eLearning Modules - Create/ Edit / Delete

What are eLearning Modules?

Administrators can create eLearning Modules that contain training resources a series of multiple choice questions for their volunteers to answer online. These Modules are associated with a Qualification so, upon successful completion of the Module, the associated Qualification in the volunteer’s profile is updated with the level defined in the Module. If the volunteer fails the Module (based on the passing grade you assign to it), they’ll be able to retake it.

If the Module is associated with a Qualification that has an expiry date, you’ll be able to specify the number of months until their Qualification level expires and how many days before that expiry that they may re-take the Module.

eLearning Modules are ideal for organizations that need their volunteers to complete some form of online training, orientation, or onboarding process in order to qualify them for your Activities.

Modules can contain text, images, and videos that a volunteer needs to watch as part of their eLearning experience with your organization.

There are also Limited Admin permissions for viewing and managing eLearning Modules.
