elearning as an evidence package for legal team
Super interesting question! I agree with what SinaHa shared as a great first option, but I'm wondering if others here do anything different/more comprehensive to deal with some of the more interactive formats you mentioned, since of course a PDF isn't going to accurately display an interaction or video.
I would also be curious what your legal team's guidance is on the level of detail they need—requisite "I am not a lawyer," but my guess is that what they'd deem sufficient would vary from organization to organization based on the industry and risk tolerance. For some a PDF that just gives a record of what was in the course might be fine while for others they may need a much more high-fidelity record.
Curious to see how this conversation evolves, and generally curious what other compliance stuff like this L&D folks are managing regularly. Interesting topic.
Thanks, Noele! Our legal team LOVES the text version, of course. lol It is the most convenient way for them to scan verbiage and pull out just what they want. Over time though, as our courses have really evolved into a much more interactive and immersive experience, we're concerned that a transcript could be interpreted as a complete representation of the course when it really isn't. We're confident that we'll have to put more effort into the evidence package that we provide them, and we're also confident that we have a sales job ahead of us to convince the legal team that this is the 'new best practice'. Having others in our industry back up what is now being used for their legal teams will give us some assistance with our 'sell'. Thanks for commenting on this thread!
Absolutely, that makes a ton of sense! Thanks for starting this conversation :)
