If you wish to assign an Award to a large volume of learners, it might take a little too long to assign to users individually. Many administrators use Groups to deliver curated learning to specific groups of learners.
It is now possible to assign up to 20 individual pieces of content and Awards to a Group in one go, so you don’t have to repeat the process each time they wish to assign content.
To assign the learning resources or award, go to the group and then click on Assign from the group
Then search for the specific award
Once you have selected the award, click on Continue
Then put in the due date based on days, months, or a specific date, and click on Assign
Additional things to remember:
If a user has already started a piece of content before it is assigned, and they are then assigned the learning via Groups, their reporting status will update from 'Self-directed' to ‘assigned’ in the Manage page report.
If a learner already has a piece of content or an Award assigned to them with a due date, this will be updated to the new due date specified via the Group assignment.
If it is time for Learning Managers to re-assign Learners to start from the beginning (such as annual compliance), they can do so via the Manage page of each individual learning resource.
