As part of our commitment to providing the most current and relevant learning content, we regularly update our library. This process includes the retirement of content that is no longer up-to-date or relevant. Understanding how content retirements work and how to manage these changes is crucial for maintaining an effective learning environment.
Managing Upcoming Retirements
In Go1 Admin, Learning Administrators have access to an overview of upcoming content retirements in their library. This feature allows you to:
View Retirements: You can see a list of content that is scheduled to be retired soon or has already retired, enabling you to plan accordingly.
Discover Suggested Alternatives: For each piece of content that is retiring, we provide suggestions for alternative resources. This helps you to quickly find and add suitable alternatives to your library.
Understanding Retirement Statuses
The content retirement process moves through three stages:
Retiring Soon: Content marked as
Retiring Soonis still accessible to learners but will soon enter retirement and be removed from the library.Retired: Content marked as
Retiredno longer appears in Go1’s search results. However, learners who have previously enrolled or are accessing it through a third-party platform can continue to use the content until the final removal date.Removed: Content with a
Removedstatus has been fully decommissioned and is no longer available on Go1. After the removal date, it will not be accessible to any learners.
How are content alternatives determined?
To ensure a smooth transition when content is retired, Go1 uses a model that identifies the most suitable alternatives. This model evaluates several key factors to minimize disruption to learners:
Provider: We first prioritize content from the same content provider to maintain consistency.
Content Similarity: Alternatives are selected based on how closely they match the original content.
Duration: We favor alternatives with similar duration to meet learners' time expectations.
Type of Content: We aim to match the format (e.g., video, course, or interactive) for a seamless learning experience.
Content Quality: Higher-rated alternatives are prioritized to ensure a valuable and high-quality learning experience.
Staying Informed with Monthly Retirement Emails
To help you stay ahead of these changes, you can opt into a monthly retirement email from within Go1 Admin. This email will notify you of any content that is scheduled to retire from your library in the coming month, ensuring that you are always informed and prepared.
