Jive for delivery of internal training/certification?

jimjonesWRS May 25, 2011 2:30 PM

Hi everyone:

I ran across a potential use case today that I'm scratching my head over...

Let's say we have a new employee at our company. As part of their on-board process, they have to read the employee manual (watch a video training, whatever) and then take a test to show their comprehension of the content.

I can figure out how we'd post the content, even how we'd allow employees to ask/answer questions about the content. But is there an easy, out-of-the-box way for us to create a certification test? I'd have to have a way to know for sure that employee 'x' took the test consisting of 'y' questions, and they got 'z' of them right. Based on that percentage of right/wrong answers, they'd either be "certified" or would have to take the test again.

Any ideas? Has anyone done this?

, new hires have to face a certification right away...or you want a small test to check they have got the new hire stuff down ? Based on the use case you will need different process / tools to create it. Certs are legal, need more analysis, publish, hosting etc. A small internal test can be built (faster / easier) and hosted internally. We have done these but end up using help from our training team and hosting it in our Learning Management System. You may check with them in your org., if possible. Regards /Sanjiv

  I should have clarified – “certification” really meant “have them take a small test to make sure they understood the content.”
  
  Put a different way – we want the employee to watch a video on (as an example) insider trading, and then take a 10-question test to show that they’ve understood the material.
  
  We could host it on an LMS – but part of the potential business case for Jive is to deprecate (among other things) an LMS.

    Hi Jim,
    
    We have used Camtasia to develop small video trainings and it has inbuilt quiz functionality but there is no reporting option there unless we track completion via a LMS. So we still use the LMS where we need reporting, scores etc.. I will also look to learn if anyone else has used Jive as a LMS. It will be interesting for instructor led/class room courses.
    
    Thanks
    Sanjiv

  Is your LMS integrated with Jive in any way?

I haven't been able to test yet but I was thinking that you could house all the matrial in Jive, use a link through to your LMS to actually take the quiz so you could have the tracking & reporting. To my knowledge, this would be the only way. We are heading down the same path so I would be curious to hear if you find a way to do this.

  We're taking a similar approach. There is just too much functionality around learning records/evaluation and tracking/reporting in a LMS to replace it with Jive at this point.

We are looking to do something very similar and are looking at the Poll feature in Jive, but currently struggling on how to extrapolate the "who took the test and how they answered" information.
