linking a future outlook calendar reminder item in course
Nov 26, 2013
Hi everyone. I am hoping someone might be able to help me brainstorm a request I received for a course. I'll have to take my time to explain this.....We have a course (a timesheet completion course) trhat I'm building that will be required by all new employees. There is another course-Part II, which will be required 90-days post hire date (or after part I completion date). The reason for this is that there are tasks in Part II (such as requesting time off) that are not valid until the 90-day mark. We cannot time release the course via the LMS so I was hoping of maybe adding an outlook calendar reminder at course completion - set for 90+ days from when the learner clicks on it, which will populate their calendar with a reminder to enroll in the Part II course. Any ideas on how to do this - or maybe any better ideas?
thanks,
chris

Hi Chris,
There was some similar discussion in this thread, but about Google calendars.
Thanks Ashley. Not quite what I was looking for. I think it would require scripting that is above my skills.
Hi Chris,
Certainly understand and sorry I wasn't able to offer a better solution.
Chris,
Most LMSs are capable of sending an email at the course completion. Creating and including an ICS file in your email may be a viable option.
Cheers,
Seth
Thanks for sharing Seth!
Hey Chris!
We're currently looking to build a new Timesheet/payroll eLearning, and this discussion popped up as I was looking for templates. Do you have any templates you'd be wiling to share related to this topic?
-I know this thread is super old, but I couldn't help noticing that Marie never got a reply from Chris (or Seth, for that matter), and I second her question.
-Also, would taking the ICS file route allow for intelligent dating through Outlook (i.e. it sets the invite for X days out from the time of course completion, rather than a fixed date)?
