Flipping around Induction/Compliance courses
Hi all,
My organisation (Health Care) has a large number of induction and compliance modules and we are being pushed to add more and more, meaning new starters have a growing number to go through ...
Tristan, it's possible that check-the-box courses exist in organizations other than yours. ;-)
I think breaking up the delivery is a great idea, especially if your client has ways of getting people to work before all the compliance boxes are checked.
I've heard "repurpose legacy content" many times, and I'm sure people manage to do it, but my experience suggests often it means "reuse the old stuff" without questioning how effectively that old stuff accomplished a goal other than "deliver training."
Rereading Nicole's comment about legal mandates: I once worked on a course for supervisors (topic: dealing with workplace discrimination and sexual harassment). One criterion was that the online version needed to take two hours to complete -- because (at the time, at least) the state of California required that supervisors receive two hours of such training per year.
Had started to reply to your first reply then got caught up.
Yes, I'm sure a large number of organisations have tick the box courses.
Good point about checking legal requirements. I don't think we have any that specify length, more that we need to show we have provided training. Definitely something for me to keep in mind though.
When I first come on we did the same, basically remaking old flash courses. Due to time delays and not being up for review yet was only able to make them look a bit more modern and add the odd interaction here and there, but not look at the content or even the order of the content.
Now that I have established myself in the business I am pushing to update all of the older modules, and ensuring any new ones use more modern design and adult learning principles.
