Course Codes
Hello,
I'm looking for suggestions for creating and tracking course codes. My organization is getting ready to implement an LMS that requires course codes. My team will be responsible for issuin...
Hi Noelle,
We have started trying out course codes recently. We are using the following format
[Department].[Program].[Item #]
Here is an example for an Operations department's Department Onboarding program:
OPS.DO.11
We are also trying out a way to call out elements that are not courses in the codes. We're doing this by add an "R" to the end of a code if it is a resource. EX: OPS.DO.18R.
The big thing we recognized is that the course codes are truly only useful to our L&D team. The average learner will not likely search up a course by its code, but by title. So, we picked something that makes sense for us and would help us easily locate or reference something.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing your naming ideas, Cody!
