Information about Learning Types

The LMS accommodates various learning types, such as online courses (internal or external), virtual classes (live and archived), instructor-led classroom sessions, workshops, on-the-job training, assessments, and blended learning programs.

Learning Type	Description
Classroom	The Classroom learning type involves schedule-based classroom training, often spanning multiple sessions and locations, requiring detailed configuration. Courses occur at physical training centers, utilize specific resources, provide participant reference materials, and necessitate instructors—all of which must be configured for the learning module. Each Classroom learning module must include at least one session, representing a complete course instance with a specific participant capacity. Assessment within this learning type is conducted through the LMS Exam functionality.
Just-in-Time	The Just-in-Time learning type typically consists of quick-to-learn material accessed through an external provider. These courses are often available for launch at any time and can be accessed any number of times.
Online	Online learning, accessed via the web or intranet, is typically available in SCORM, AICC, or xAPI format. However, it can also include links to other resource types.
On-the-Job	The On-the-Job Training (OTJ) learning type enables supervisors to evaluate participants' performance upon completion. To finish an OTJ training course, one or more supervisors and a supervisor assessment exam must be assigned to an OTJ learning module or session. The course concludes for the learner once the supervisor completes the assessment exam.
Program	The Program learning type is used to create a Learning Program. Learning programs group together related learning modules into a learning curriculum.
Task	Tasks are lightweight courses and can be used to track snippets of training, or to track the accomplishment of specific piece of work. For example, training for machine operation might consist of the following tasks: Read the machine operation manual Observe demonstration given by a certified trainer Duty manager confirmation for skills acquired Task learning types include a sign-off section where designated approvers can verify a learner's completion of tasks.
Virtual Classroom	The Virtual Classroom learning type offers a link to a scheduled virtual classroom training session, usually a webinar or video conference, enabling learners to engage with the instructor.
Virtual Classroom (Archived)	This provides a link to a recorded virtual classroom session.
