One of the final steps in objectives setup is assigning objectives to courses and programs. Learners can then search the catalog to locate and enroll in the classes or register in the programs that fulfill their outstanding objectives.

Mapped Objectives and Enrollment

Enrolling or registering in a class or program that has objectives does not cause the system to assign the objectives to the learner. Objectives can only be assigned to learners through the gap analysis process, by administrators, or through the self-service pages. When objectives are assigned, they have a status of needed.

When a learner enrolls in a class or registers in a program that will meet needed objectives, the system updates the status of the learner's objectives to in progress. The status changes to met when the learner successfully completes the learning. Should the learner drop the class or program prior to completing it, the status of the objective reverts to needed. The status also reverts to needed if an administrator drops the learner from the class or program after the learner completes it.

Program objectives are specific to each program registration and are evaluated per program, regardless of whether the learner met the objective or is meeting the objective in another program.

Before you can assign objectives to courses and programs, you must:

  1. Create courses.

    See Creating Courses.

  2. Create programs.

    See Defining Programs.

  3. Define Objectives.

    See Defining and Reviewing Objectives.

  4. Build the catalog index for courses, programs, and objectives.

    See Updating the Catalog Indexes.
