154 course completions and it's still cold

It's still cold so now may be a great time to check in with your SkillSoft Technology project participants. Remember that everyone should complete at least one course. I see that some have already completed more! Here's what the stats are saying as of now. Looks like low techs are beating high techs as of now. Remember that you can run activity reports if you want to know who needs encouragement.

SkillSoft End-User seats ("low techs")
168 people registered for a seat
106 people have accessed the SkillPort to use the courses
316 courses accessed
144 course completions

SkillSoft IT Professional seats ("high techs")
74 people registered for a seat
37 people have accessed the SkillPort
67 courses accessed
10 course completions

Evaluation Added

An evaluation survey has been added to our SkillPort. It does not pop up when people finish their courses. Rather, it shows on the Course Information screen where learners click "Play". They'll now see a bar that says "Evaluate". Please let your learners know about this so we can glean their feedback!

So Far, So Good

We had a 15 minute liaison meeting today to check in on how things are going with SkillSoft and it sounds like everything is going great. The orientation trainers and liaisons have had positive comments. There are some people at Anne Arundel County Public Library who have completed courses already! There are no big technical glitches and people have been able to login successfully.

Two points made at the meeting:
1. Nini will be adding an evaluation form within SkillSoft so it pops up when people finish their courses. When this is done, she will email liaisons.
2. Liaisons have been invited to this blog as blog authors. While we don't expect much blog activity (because things are going well), this is a place where liaisons can share questions and discoveries as we go along. Even if you aren't an author, you can comment should you feel so inclined. SkillSoft participants are welcome to comment also.

Welcome to the SkillSoft Project

Thanks to the liaisons for helping with registration given such a short deadline. You have been invited to join this blog as a blog author. This way, we can share updates, questions, best practices, tips, and reminders throughout this project.
