Getting Started with ArcLearn

It is easy to get started with ArcLearn. There are two basic types of sites: Arclearn eLearning Marketplace sites for purchasing licenses, and the ArcLearn My Learning Portal site for actually using ArcLearn. These sites go hand in hand; but, generally, most participants will only be using the My Learning Portal site, which is www.arclearn.com.

The following steps represent one of many scenarios that you can select to begin your ArcLearn experience. Click on each step to get the details.

Step 1. License Courses

Use the course catalog to identify one or more courses to license for your organization. Decide on the type of license (single title, license groups, or license packs). Use the "purchase license" on a Course's detail information page for a single title or use the options on the License Management page (Products menu dropdown). Add to the shopping cart and proceed thru check-out.

Purchasing the first license for your organization makes you the initial administrator.

Step 2. Register Participants

To add additional people go to the Trainer drop-down menu and select "Add and Remove Participants".   You can individually add people to your group if you have just a few or you can upload an Excel spreadsheet if there are many.   Trainers and administrators can add and remove students as necessary.

Step 3. Determine Individual Roles

You can assign certain individuals to Trainer privileges or Administrator privileges.

• Participants are the bulk of your new group; these are people who take but do not administer training.
• Trainers are those who can assign courses to Particpants, add/remove Participants, generate reports, and review Participants’ course results and scores.
• Administrators are those who can purchse new licenses and commit the organization to any associated billings.   Administrators can make global preference decisions that affect everyone.

Go to the Administrator drop-down and select Site Administration.   Click on "Privileged Users".   Add privileges for existing participants by keying their e-mail address and specifying the Role.

Step 4. Communicate the Plan

Meet with your Trainers and other Administrators to communicate your plans to include ArcLearn courses in your organization’s training resources.   Each should have the opportunity to view the site and become comfortable with his/her role.   The end result should be a plan you can communicate to all Participants.  

Step 5. Enroll Students in Courses

Trainers can enroll participants in course with a structured e-mail sent to each selected participant with a list of the courses and a message from the Trainer.

Participants can also find and select their own interests by adding those courses to their own My Courses list. Participants should be encouraged to use the licensed programs as they see fit in their own education and personal growth.

Step 6. Deliver Courses

Participants can begin their training on their own schedule. They login and go to the My Courses page. Here they will find any courses assigned to them by Trainers and courses in which they personally select. Information is maintained for the student, such as the start date, the status, test scores, and more.

Step 7. Assess Understanding and Track Achievements

Reports can be produced to evaluate utilization and compliance.

There are many ways to use ArcLearn. The above is just one scenario.   You can expand and adjust your approach based on the needs of your organization.
