Work with Development Activities

You can work with your development activities from your personal development plan. In the Employee role, go to My Learning > My Development Plan.

Some actions with development activities can be performed from the learning catalog, when you click on a course to view its details. You can add a course to your development plan (or request to add it if approval is required), launch a course already added to your development plan, schedule training, manage practicum, upload documents, and perform other actions.

Launching a Course or Quiz

To work with the documents, e-learning courses and quizzes click the Launch Course or Launch Quiz button next to the course in the development plan or by clicking corresponding button when viewing course details in the learning catalog. This Launch Course or Launch Quiz button becomes available after a course or quiz has been added to your development plan.

The Launch Course will launch the course differently, depending on the learning material type. For example, if the learning material is a video in the form of an attached video file as opposed to an external link, the Launch Course button will launch the Lanteria HR Media Player where you will be able to watch the video.

In case of the E-Learning Course learning material type, an e-learning will be launched, in case of Web Link – a web site with the course, etc.

If the Learning Prerequisites Mode setting is set to Required, you will not be able to complete a development activity until you complete prerequisites, if any.

You can click Assign from Catalog to assign the required materials directly from the Check Prerequisites window.
