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!

329 course completions so far

We have had 329 course completions so far! SkillSoft Liaisons report that everything is going really well. Here's the breakdown:

27 course completions - IT Professional
106 course completions - IT Desktop
196 course completions - Business

There are some folks who have not logged in yet. Now is a great time to remind people about this project. Winter is often the best time to work on these courses.

Since this project is grant funded, there are certain expectations that everyone must meet:

• IT users (Professional and Desktop) must complete at least 6 hours of content. They must complete at least one course, or can complete multiple courses that add up to at least the 6 hours.
• Business users must complete at least 2 courses. It doesn't matter how long the courses are as long as they complete 2.
• To complete a course, they must pass all assessments with an average total score of at least 75%.
