Identifying Learning Types with Session Properties

Identifying Learning Types with Session Properties


1. Purpose

This article helps administrators identify the default Learning Types within PeopleFluent Learning that utilize Session Properties. Session Properties allow for the scheduling and management of specific instances or offerings of a learning activity. Understanding which Learning Types support Session Properties is crucial for setting up and managing training events effectively.

2. Understanding Session Properties

Session Properties are settings associated with a specific instance of a learning activity. They typically include details such as:

  • Date and Time of the session
  • Location of the session (e.g., classroom, virtual link)
  • Instructor or facilitator
  • Capacity or enrollment limits
  • Specific resources or materials for that session

Learning Types that utilize Session Properties are generally those that involve a scheduled event or require specific logistical arrangements.

3. Default Learning Types and Session Properties

The following table lists the default Learning Types within PeopleFluent Learning and indicates whether they have associated Session Properties and if they are generally enrollable by users:

4. Important Note

The Learning Types listed above are the default names within the PeopleFluent Learning system. Your organization's Learning Types may have been renamed. If your Learning Type names differ, you will need to examine their configuration within the Learning Type settings to determine if Session Properties are enabled.

5. Implications of Session Properties

  • Learning Types with "Y" in the "Session Properties" column will typically require the creation of sessions (or offerings) before users can enroll.
  • The Session Properties define the specifics of each instance of the learning activity.
  • Reporting and management of these Learning Types often involve tracking attendance and completion at the session level.

This information should help you understand which Learning Types in your PeopleFluent Learning environment utilize Session Properties for managing learning activities.
