Hey Gang! I'm curious if anyone out there is using the Workday LMS? Here at GoDaddy, we're exploring the possibility of moving to Workday for our LMS vendor and we'd love to chat with anyone out there currently using it. Let me know! THANKS! Tim

Hi Tony, I haven't used it since June so there will have been some updates since then. I didn't have many problems with uploading the zip files from storyline 2 (didn't use 360 back then). One issue we came across was the courses not tracking completion, users had to clear their cache and cookies and restart their browser to get it to work, sometimes they had to do that twice. I never got to the bottom of that issue, it may have been some software we were running in the background interfering. Other than that it was ok, sometimes a nightmare when I had to mass enrol the entire company on courses because you can only do 1000 at once. With the tracking, I needed to run 2 reports, one for who were enrolled and one for who had completed. This was because Workday didn't enrol people automatically so they wouldn't come up on the completion report. They may have come up with a fix for that since I was fiddling around. I have a couple of quick reference guides, one for adding an outlook calendar invite to a course and one for creating a course which is in the past. If you'd like me to ping them over to you send me your email address. Hope this all helps, give me a shout if you want to have a chat or need more info. Kim

We are piloting right now and built course in Rise (with Storyline interactions). We are highly disappointed in the LMS. It was purchased before our Learning team was assembled by the HR team so we're stuck with it for 18 more months :-(. It's in an it's infancy so lacks critical aspects that LMS should have. We have noticed that when a learner completes a course and then revisits the course, it totally starts them off in a new course. It doesn't ask if you would like to resume, etc? it starts them off back off in the beginning of the course. Thus we now have to open our navigation so that learners once they complete courses, won't have to go through all of there course. If you need to update a course, it totally wipes out a learner's progress. There is NO (update a new version) option. So if you made any typos or had a glitch in a simulation, learners progress is LOST. They are back to the beginning of the course every time the course is updates. Your QA game had better be magnificent! Reporting is atrocious. It's just excel sheets that you have to export. Nothing pretty about it. Also The dashboard defaults to tables not graphs. And you can't make it default to graphs to make getting a quick glimpse easier. Those that are using Workday, are you encountering this as well? Are we doing something wrong?

Hi Tim, Only just seen this post, so apologies in my late reply. I used to work for a company which brought it in last year, I was involved in the testing, implementation and the LMS side of things. Give me a shout if you want to chat about anything. Kim

Kim - we are about to move to WorkDay and using SL2 and possibly 360. Are there any issues to be concerned with regarding Articulate products and WorkDay? Any Tips or Tricks would be much appreciated. :D Tony

Hi All. This thread is very helpful! My organization is looking at Work Day in pursuit of an HSM Suite solution. We are on Cornerstone now and I think the LMS is the next best thing to Saba (my opinion). We have our demo this week with WD and I have created a set of questions based on your comments. I am not a big HCM Suite LMS fan. These tend to be treated as the ugly step child out of the entire HCM stack. Your comments just confirm my years of experience. Not to say that any HCM Suite LMS platform could be outstanding if the proper attention and resources are provided. I just don't want my organization to be the Guinea Pig. Thanks,

Beverly, we implemented Workday in 2017 as "fast followers" and it was HORRIBLE! Almost like the people who developed it, had never developed an LMS before. It lacks basic functionality that most learning management systems have and the user experience is the worst! We just tested a Rise course in Workday Learning two weeks ago and it took me 8 clicks to launch content.

I just found out that my organization has decided to go with the Workday LMS (a decision made by IT without consulting T&D) The initial responses to Tim's question 2 years ago were ok but as I kept reading, I became more concerned. I have a background in edu LMSs and have been working in talent LMSs for a few years and so I have seen the ins and outs of a variety of training software. Anyone have a continued perspective on the Workday LMS? I think it is inviting to our IT folks because they can roll it into the existing enterprise employee management software, but that is a scary reason to make a commitment that big especially when the LMS we have been using has never been a friendly system.

Colleen, I would very much like to speak with you about your experience. We are also exploring the possibility of implementing (or not) Workday Learn. Would you be available for a short call at your convenience? joel.dietz@mrcglobal.com Thanks in advance!

Thanks to everyone for their insights on this post. We're considering Workday because of the multi-function platform (HRIS, ATS, LMS) options, but we don't want to sacrifice the LMS experience for integrations. Appreciate greatly.

Hi, my company is currently in the testing stage of implementing Workday. A quick Google lead me here. Currently I am trying to track course completion using Quizmaker 360 and PowerPoint but it simply does not show completed at all. Even if you complete and go back to the course it will provide you with the resume option rather than saying it has been done.

Hi, I am providing some training modules I created in Storyline to a client who uses Workday LMS. Due to security concerns, they cannot provide me access to test my modules LIVE in their LMS. That forces them to do the testing which is not widely accepted by the share holders of the training.

Is their a way to test Storyline modules in Workday LMS offline without accessing the clients proprietary web site?

Thanks, Vic

  Hi Vic,
  
  Workday LMS is pretty rudimentary. To test your modules without access to Workday LMS, I would suggest that you test them in SCORM Cloud, using the settings that your client has specified for Workday. If they run in SCORM Cloud without problems, then they should run just fine in Workday as well.

  Some of the offshore Learning LSM training companies offer access to a "Tenant".
  
  Cloudfoundation.com comes to mind.

Hi all,

Reading this thread is very scary as Workday learning is coming to our organisation very soon. I will be testing out the issues raised here and hope that they have been solved.

One question - Does Workday take xAPI?
- ColleenCote-dbc

  hi Tom,
  
  Workday does not accept xAPI. From my experience, I would recommend using SCORM 1.2 version 1 and trying to make the files as small as possible. That being said, we've had issues with SCORM courses completing and playing properly (even when tested in Scorm Cloud).
