Creating a Training Course:
To create a training course on Beam, follow these steps:
General Information:
- Title: Provide a clear and concise title for the training course.
- Subtitle: Add a subtitle to provide context and further clarify the topic.
- Tags: Select relevant tags from the organization's tag library to categorize the training course.
- Start Date: Set the date when learners assigned to the course (see "Distribution" section) will be able to see it in their "Training" section.
- End Date: This field is optional and can be left blank. If a date is specified, it will be used to measure the progress of expired or incomplete training courses.
Distribution:
- Target Audience: Assign the training course to specific employees or groups of people within the organization. These groups are called "Audiences" and are shared with the task module.
- Audience Creation:
- Employee Lists: Create audiences from lists of employees (with names and surnames). New employees can be added to these lists over time. The training course will appear to the employee each time they are manually added to this audience.
- Establishments and/or Skills: Create audiences from lists of establishments and/or skills. When an establishment is added as a workplace to an employee's profile or a skill is added to their profile, the employee is included in this audience and sees the training course(s) assigned to this audience.
