ULearn’s New Feature Spotlight: Events Calendar


A recent upgrade to ULearn has enhanced several of the online learning environment’s features. One of the most notable new features is the events calendar, which provides a listing of live sessions that are scheduled in ULearn.

The calendar can be accessed in two ways. From the welcome page, you can select “Events/Class Calendar” under Quick Links. Or you can select “Events Calendar” from the Learning dropdown menu.

By default, the events calendar initially displays the events for which you have already registered, and it shows them in monthly calendar format. You can easily change this view to suit your preferences:

• Switch from “My Events” to “All Events” to see live sessions that are taking place around the University.

• Switch from month view to day, week, or agenda view to see the events taking place in a specific date range.

• Scroll through the months to search for upcoming events.

• Filter events by the location where they will take place.

From the events calendar, you can select a specific session by clicking on the session title and selecting the “Request” button to register.

Other New Definitions

• Transcript: A dynamic interface that shows the user’s completed training schedule, training that is currently in progress, and training to be completed in the future.

• Curriculum: A method of organizing training activities that occur in a series or sequence; allows the user to search and register for training with fewer clicks.

• Online Class: previously known as a CBL; an online module.

• ILT Event/Session: previously known as ILT Course/Class; live, instructor-led training; a session is an incidence of the event that takes place on a particular date and time.

Withdraw: previously known as cancel; users must withdraw from an ILT session if they can no longer attend on that date and want to remove it from their transcript.

ULearn’s New Feature Spotlight: The Archived Transcript


A recent upgrade to ULearn has enhanced several of the online learning environment’s features. The Transcript is one of the most widely used of the enhanced features.

Every user has a personalized Transcript that provides several options to register, launch, select, withdraw, and complete training. Your Transcript also displays the status of each training item requested by, assigned to, or required of you. The Transcript is divided into an Active Transcript and an Archived Transcript. By default, the most recently added training items are displayed at the top of your Active Transcript. When ULearn was upgraded in early August, all of your training items were automatically moved to your Active Transcript. It is recommended that you leave training items on your Active Transcript for 24 months, especially if you have training items that need to be renewed every two years such as HIPAA or OSHA training.

ULearn Upgrades Include Versatile Transcript Feature


A recent upgrade to ULearn has enhanced several of the online learning environment’s features. The transcript is the most widely used of the upgraded features.

Every user has a personalized transcript that provides several options to register, launch, select, withdraw, and complete training. Your transcript also displays the status of each training item requested by, assigned to, or required of you. The transcript’s status column allows you to determine whether the training is pending, approved, or denied. Many other potential stages are available as well. Depending on the training status, you can register, launch, and perform a variety of other training functions directly from the transcript.

The transcript is divided by tabs into an active transcript and an archived transcript, a feature that did not previously exist in ULearn. By default, the most recently added training items are displayed at the top of your active transcript. If you have many training items on your transcript, you can move the oldest training items to your archived transcript. However, it is recommended that you leave training items on your active transcript for 24 months, especially if you have training that needs to be renewed every two years, such as HIPAA or OSHA training.

The transcript feature allows users to add external training items, such as outside conferences or trainings attended. You can also print your transcript, which will list all of the training items you have completed, with the most recent appearing first. Additionally you can run a customized report on your transcript to filter the results to show only specific types of training or training that has been completed within a specific date range.

Here are some other important changes:

Curriculum: A method of organizing training activities that occur in a series or sequence; allows the user to search and register for training with fewer clicks.

Online class: Previously known as a CBL; an online module.

ILT event/session: Previously known as ILT course/class, this is live, instructor-led training; a session is an incidence of the event that takes place on a particular date and time.

Withdraw: Previously known as cancel; users must withdraw from an ILT session if they can no longer attend on that date and want to remove it from their transcript.
