Configure Curriculum

The first step in building Skill Builder training is to create and configure a training curriculum.

Create a Curriculum

1. Click the "New Curriculum" button at the top of the Skill Builder window. This will activate the Curriculum Settings tab.

2. Enter the curriculum name in the "Name" field.

3. Enter a description of the curriculum in the"Description" field.

4. Configure the Curriculum Settings.

Curriculum Settings

Configure Settings

Curriculum settings are accessed by clicking each tab on the Settings menu bar.

Assignment Type

Choose the assignment Type by clicking the "Type" dropdown and selecting the desired type. There are three types available: 1) Administrator [manually assigned by the platform administrator], 2) Automatic (Enrollment) [automatically assigned when a team member self-enrolls on the platform], and 3) Team Member [team member self-assigns via the Team Member portal].

The filter icon () will appear if the Assignment Type is Automatic (Enrollment) or Team Member. Click this icon to activate the Recipient Filter Settings dialogue. Click the "Workgroup" radio button and configure the Locations, Jobs, and Roles eligible for this curriculum. Click the close icon () once the filter has been configured and saved. See the Recipient Filter guide for more details.

Comprehension Threshold

Click the "Set Comprehension Threshold?" checkbox if the team member must achieve a quiz score equal to or above a specified threshold to complete each topic. The "Threshold %" field becomes visible when the checkbox is checked. Enter the threshold percent value.

Automated Reminders

Click the "Set Automated Completion Reminder?" checkbox to activate completion reminders at a specified interval. The "Reminder Interval (days)" dropdown becomes visible when the checkbox is checked. Click the dropdown and choose the desired interval. Reminders are sent via each team member's preferred communication channel at noon Eastern daily.

Days to Complete

Click the "Days to Complete?" checkbox to automatically set a due date when assigning the curriculum to team members. The "Days to Complete" input field becomes visible when the checkbox is checked. Enter the number of days a team member has to complete the curriculum.

Sequential Learning

Click the "Enforce Module Sequence?" checkbox to enforce the completion of modules in the order specified in the Module Builder. Click the "Enforce Topic Sequence?" to enforce the completion of topics within a module in the order specified in the Module Builder. Team members must complete SkillBuilder modules and/or topics in the designated order when enabled. Subsequent modules or topics remain locked until the required ones are completed.

We recommend waiting until the module build is complete before activating a curriculum, especially for automatically assigned curricula. When you are ready to activate, slide the "Active" toggle to the right until it turns green.
