Everything we know about Cornerstone on Demand and Storyline!
I thought I would start a thread about Cornerstone on Demand so there's a central place for people to read and add to. There seems to be a dearth of information about how CSOD and Storyline interac...
Does anyone have experience with reversioning courses in Cornerstone? We are changing just one word, and would like to have all users who haven't completed the training to receive the new version, and keep the same version for those who have already completed it..
Our experience has been, when reversioning as opposed to performing a file update, has been that users who have completed and those that were already registered and/or in progress retained their original versions. Newly registered users and those that we "kicked out" of the original version and then reenrolled received the new version. The result being some individuals did lose progress.
My question would be if you are only changing one word, does this warrant a reversion or is a file update all that is required. (i.e does that one word change the meaning of the training so fundamentally that it is important that those that already took the training have access to the old word?) Are there any regulatory concerns? In one of our cases, some bit of code was corrupted and caused the course to lock up and a reversion was absolutely necessary. In most other cases it was sufficient to update, document and retain the source file when the change was made should a regulatory agency need to see what version or revision our learner saw (1.0, 2.0, 2.1 etc.)
Thank you for the detailed response, Matthew!
We have not considered updating, and that's something that we haven't done before.. How would you perform an update?
Go to CSOD Online Help and Search the contents for "Modify Published Course". Directions for file replacement are there. As always, test and validate your changes in a testing environment before launching to your end users!
Thank you so much, Matthew! You saved us a lot of time and stress by suggesting the update rather than reversion. Best wishes!
