Understanding and Managing Course Title Changes in Atlas
When changes occur to course titles and updates are introduced within the Atlas platform, understanding the implications and actions required is crucial for a smooth transition.
Overview of Course Title Changes
Updates to the course catalogue, including title changes, were implemented as part of a broader content enhancement. These updates may involve:
New and updated course titles: Changes to better align with updated content or new naming conventions.
Temporary report inconsistencies: During the transition phase, reports may temporarily duplicate data as records from older courses merge with their updated versions.
Impact on Learning Records
Completion data for the original version of the course remains valid; as learners complete the updated version, records will automatically update.
No immediate action is required from administrators to consolidate this data as the integration is handled automatically within the system.
Managing Assignments and Workflows
Do I Need to Reassign Courses?
No, course name changes do not affect the actual content or the structure of the courses. The changes are purely in name/title. You can:
Continue with existing assignments without interruption.
Wait for the original course to expire naturally before assigning the updated version to new users.
Updates to Training Bundles
All training bundles containing an impacted course are automatically updated. This ensures that newly assigned learners always have access to the latest version without any manual changes needed from administrators.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will course content change with the title updates? No, only the course titles have changed. The content remains consistent.
2. How will this affect my organisation’s reporting? While the update process is ongoing, you may notice temporary duplications in reports where data from the original and updated courses overlap. These records will streamline as learners complete their training, and no further actions are needed.
Key Takeaways
The changes to course titles are designed to align with updated content strategies.
There is no impact on the course content itself, and existing assignments remain valid and actionable with no need for immediate reassignment.
Reporting may experience temporary duplication, but this will resolve as new learners complete the updated courses.
By understanding these updates and leveraging the automated features within Atlas, administrators can ensure a seamless transition for both learners and their organisations.
