Create Contractor Training Items

As an EHS Administrator, creating a training item is an important first step for your Contractor Administrators to assign training to contractors, and/or keeping training records. Train

Training items can represent on-line training or off-line training. The minimum permission needed to perform this task is Division Admin or Division Author.

The CSM Module only allows the following item types: AICC-WBT, DOC, ILT, ILT-UNSCH, SCORM, and WBT.

How to Create a Contractor Training Item:

1. Select Curriculum > Training Items > (Organization level, if shown) from the CSM module menu.

2. If you have access to multiple divisions or companies, select the division or company where you want to create the training item.

3. Select the New button.

4. Enter the training item Title, Item Code, and select the training Item Type from the drop-down box.

   • The name or title of the training item should be easily recognizable. Follow the naming conventions for training items in the division where you are creating the training item.
5. If the Item Type is a DOC, AICC-WBT or SCORM, then use the information below to enter the location of the content (URL).
   • Word, PowerPoint, Excel or HTML document, image or PDF file: Click Choose File and browse to the actual file* that is being used for training.
   • AICC-WBT course: Enter the URL of the course's home screen into the URL: field. It should be in the http:// format.
     • AICC-WBT course and Frontline communication must be tested before assigning to learners.
   • SCORM: Click Choose File and browse to the SCORM package file (.zip). The packaged file size is limited to 16 MB. See step 8 for additional instructions.
     • Any files browsed to and added via the Choose File button are automatically uploaded to Frontline's shared stored, per site. If the file is in a document management system, the URL can be manually entered using the computer's copy/paste function. The file referenced by the URL must be on a commonly mapped network drive, or a network share. You must also make sure that all your learners have read access to this file.
6. If you are at company level and creating a training item for a division, select the Division by clicking the blue box next to Division.

7. Add the Subject Area Code by clicking the blue box and selecting the code. Add the optional Industry Code, Craft Code and/or Keywords, as needed.

8. Select any optional items.

9. Hours Credit must be added.

10. Select the Save button.

    • The new training item is added to the selected company and division. For SCORM content, Frontline will unzip the package file in the directory structure set up for the company/division, read the manifest file (SCORM 1.2 XML Schema Definition file) and construct the URL to launch the content for the course. If the manifest file contains mastery score parameter, system will append “PassingScore” parameter and value to the URL. If Frontline does not find the manifest file in the uploaded package, it will reject the package with a message “Upload SCORM package failed, cannot find SCORM 1.2 manifest file.”
11. If you entered a URL, select the Preview button to confirm that the training content will launch properly.
