Centralized Data Risk Relationships:
It offers a centralized data model to document and manage risks, controls, business processes, and products. This holistic view helps facilities identify where risks overlap or relate, providing deeper insight into potential gaps.
Turn Incident Reports into Preventative Action
✔️Course Completion Tracking Enabled:
The administrator or instructor must enable completion of tracking for each course. This tracking can be topic-based (completion of all required modules/topics) or criteria-based (fulfillment of release conditions such as passing tests or submitting assignments).
✔️Visual Progress Indicators:
Learners’ progress through courses is visually shown, often as a progress bar or percentage indicating how much of the course content they have completed.
✔️Completion Criteria for Activities:
Individual activities like quizzes or assignments can have completion criteria, such as submitting a file or achieving a minimum passing score. Completion of these can be required for overall course completion.
✔️Real-Time Completion Status Reports:
Once enabled, the LMS provides real-time reports on the completion status of learners. This includes whether the learner has finished all the required parts of the course or not.
✔️Compliance and Transcript Records:
Completion data is linked to compliance tracking. Administrators can generate transcripts or reports to verify which employees or learners have completed mandatory training.
✔️Access Through Manager or Admin Dashboard:
Typically, authorized users access the course completion status through a manager or admin dashboard in the LMS, where they can view detailed learner progress and completion records.
Check Scores and Quiz Attempts
🡪 Admin Access: Authorized LMS admins or course managers access the learner’s quiz progress via the admin or catalog management dashboard.
🡪 Learner Quiz Progress: On the learner’s progress dashboard within a course, admins can view the learner’s quiz progress status (Not started, In progress, Completed, Failed), score percentage, and the number of points earned versus total available points for each quiz.
🡪 Quiz Attempts: The system tracks and displays the number of attempts a learner has made for each quiz, enabling admins to see if multiple retakes occurred.
🡪 Detailed Attempt Data: Expanding a learner’s details will show the answers given in each quiz attempt, allowing review of specific question responses.
🡪 Quiz Reports: Admins can generate and export quiz performance reports for users enrolled in a course; these reports include scores, attempts count, pass/fail status, and quiz completion time.
🡪 Real-Time Insights: Reports and progress dashboards provide ongoing insights into individual and group performance on quizzes.
Identify Skipped or Overdue Training
✔ Due Date Setting: Admins can assign due dates for mandatory training and courses to employees or learners.
✔ Overdue Training Tracking: Training is marked as overdue when the due date has passed but the learner has not completed the course.
✔ Overdue Status Reports: The LMS provides reports and dashboards showing the number and list of learners with overdue training for each course or training plan.
✔ Email Notifications and Reminders: Automated email reminders are sent to learners before a training due date to encourage on-time completion and after the due date has passed to notify about overdue status.
✔ Filtering Learners by Overdue Status: Admins can filter learner lists to show only those who have overdue training, allowing focused follow-up.
✔ Training Progress and Overdue Visibility: Learners can also see overdue training status on their personal training dashboards to prompt completion.
Review Trends in Similar Incidents
