What is a Learning Target?
With a Learning Target, admins can easily set and share a target learning goal with their organization. This helps motivate learners by setting a target number of hours for them to learn in a specified timeframe.
How to set a Learning Target
1. To access the Learning Targets section, click on User Activity under Insights and reporting in the Admin Tools section.
2. Select the Learning Targets tab.
3. Click Set learning target to begin setting a goal.
4. Follow the steps to set a title for the learning target, add a target time and duration (date range).
5. Using the editable sample template, you can send an email to all learners about the goal and encourage them to start learning. Once you select Publish goal, the goal will be set, and the email will be sent to all learners.
6. After publishing, the Learning Targets tab will display the goal with a Scheduled status until its start date.
7. Once the goal begins, the status will change to In Progress. When the goal expires, it will update to Completed.
How to monitor learning progress
After setting the learning target, you can monitor learner progress in two ways:
Admin page: Access an overview of your learning target under Learning Target Progress.
User activity: Click the Learning Targets section to access a dashboard for tracking progress throughout the target's duration. Use the Send a Reminder option to email different learner groups based on their progress status.
How to edit a goal or create a new goal
This feature allows you to set one organizational goal at a time and does not currently support multiple goals for different user groups.
To edit an existing goal, delete the current one and follow the steps above to create a new goal. You can also create a new goal once the current one has expired.
