Off to a good start!

We began our newest SkillSoft project at the beginning of September. This year, all staff working in Maryland public libraries can access SkillSoft. Orientations to the SkillSoft project are being provided by a liaison in each library system. Since most of us are seeing our first snow fall, it seems a good time to look at our statistics:

Distinct Courses Accessed: 352
Total Users: 433
Total Completions: 324

Last year, we finished in August with 344 users completing 1091 courses. We're off to a good start here and we have until August 31, 2010 to finish. Let's hope that our numbers countinue to increase.

Final Statistics - 2008/2009

Wow! Here's the final statistics for this past year (September 2008 to August 2009). You have certainly met grant requirements again! Participation and course completions continued to climb (the prior year had 673 course completions from 233 users). Great job.

Share Your Success

Please share how you've been using what you've learned in the SkillSoft courses by commenting to this post. The information will be used to judge project success plus for grant reporting. Sometimes you may find that you don't really remember exactly what you've learned, but you feel more comfortable with it because you know something about it. You may know enough now to be able to look something up should you ever need it. That's great and we consider that a success too! If you can, please share how what you have learned benefits library customers. Thank you so much for your time.

886 Course Completions and still more time

We're up to 886 course completions! Keep up the good work and keep going! You still have until August 31 to complete courses. Here's the stats:

Desktop - 314 completions, 121 users logged in out of 179 seats provided
IT Pro - 59 completions, 24 users logged in out of 34 seats provided
Business - 513 completions, 196 users logged in out of 245 seats provided

TOTAL - 886 completions, 328 users, 458 seats. Of course, this has been a very busy year for public libraries and there is always attrition. (Note: If you are wondering why the Desktop completions went down a little from last month, there's no explaining. Sometimes the summary statistic reports from SkillSoft are a little off. What's important is that overall the numbers are going up).

838 Course Completions but some seats empty

We're up to 838 course completions! However, there could be some folks out there who have not even logged in for the first time yet, so now may be a good time to run your own Custom Report to see if all of the people who signed up are using SkillSoft. Anyways, truly, we are doing great so keep going!

Desktop - 336 completions, 128 users logged in out of 179 seats provided
Business - 449 completions, 176 users logged in out of 245 seats provided
IT Pro - 53 completions, 24 users logged in out of 34 seats provided
TOTAL - 838 completions, 328 users, 458 seats

Of course, this has been a very busy year for public libraries and there is always attrition. It would still be helpful if you can run your report and check, though.

No SkillSoft Access on March 14

This maintenance has been scheduled for your hosting instance on Saturday, March 14, 2009, starting at 6:00 AM EST and will be completed no later than 6:00 PM EST. During this time the SkillPort will not be available.

455 course completions and it's still cold

Okay, we're up to 455 course completions. It's still cold - and winter is often a great time to do online learning. So don't forget your SkillSoft!
