About Knowledge Document Courses

Knowledge Document Courses are self-led Courses where your Delegates access their course materials in file formats such as PDFs via their Learner Portal, they can review the Document at their own pace. After studying the materials, Delegates can mark their own completion of the Course, allowing for flexible, self-directed learning.

Knowledge Document Courses can be a PDF, a PowerPoint, or Word document, a video file, etc.

If you cannot see Knowledge Document as an option on your accessplanit, please contact the Support Team. You will need to ask them to change some of the settings on your platform so that you can access Knowledge Documents.


Benefits

Here are the benefits of using Knowledge Document Courses

Knowledge Document Packages

Design and tailor your own Knowledge Documents

Course availability

As Knowledge Documents are a self-led format, Delegates can learn at their own pace and on their own schedule. This flexibility makes it easier for Delegates to balance their Course with any other commitments, and can support Delegates working from any location, in any time-zone.

Scalability

As Knowledge Document courses do not depend on a Trainer or a Venue, they do not have a maximum number of Delegates, this means that the course content can be delivered to a large scale of Delegates easily.

Cost-effective

Knowledge Document Courses are typically more cost-effective for both the Delegates and the Training Provider! Delegates do not need to pay for transport, accommodation, or additional equipment, and the Training Provider does not need to pay for a venue, trainer, or catering.

Supporting multiple types of learner

Knowledge Document Courses can be made up of multiple media formats, including text, slide shows or presentations, and provide additional support alongside other methods of Courses. This means that Knowledge Documents can accommodate for different learning styles and needs.

 


Key Terms and Glossary

Knowledge Document Plan

Knowledge Plans are a bundle or package of eLearning courses to guide Delegates through specific knowledge areas, Knowledge Document Plans are very common for induction packages.

Knowledge Document Package

An Knowledge Document file is a Word or Powerpoint document that contains all the necessary components to deliver information to your Delegates, Knowledge Document Packages are uploaded into your platform and then assigned to your Knowledge Document Course Templates.

Blended Learning

Blended Learning is where a Course is run with a hybrid approach, combining Knowledge Document elements with traditional face-to-face classroom Sessions, providing a mix of both methods and allowing additional information to be provided.

Quick Access

As with eLearning, you can allow the delegate to view the course information straight away by ticking the Quick Access box.  

If you do not enable Quick Access, then you will need to change the Delegate status to 'In Progress' to allow them to gain access to the document's package.

Self-Complete

The Self-Complete option at the Course Template level allows the Delegate to let you know that they have viewed the document by ticking a box in the Learners Portal. 

Start Date & Expiry Date

You can also add a Start Date and Expiry Date to the course, which will limit when the Delegate can access the document. This is great for when information needs to be refreshed or updated, a new Knowledge Document can be provided

Lifetime

Lifetime allows you to add the number of months the Knowledge Document is valid for, until an updated version is required
