Taking Courses
Built-in and SCORM courses in Learn—progress, results, and finding content.
What This Is For
This guide covers finding courses in Your library and taking them: built-in Skillhabit courses and SCORM packages. You’ll see how start, continue, restart, results, certificates, and author updates affect you as a learner.
For programs and live sessions, use Programs and Meetups. For attempt caps and Academy licenses, use Attempt Limits.
Who This Is For
Learners. Administrators who assign or sell content should also skim Visibility in Learn so library access matches what people expect.
Before You Start
- The course must be visible to you in Learn (or reachable from a program / renewal path)—see Visibility in Learn.
- If the product uses content licenses, you need an active license as well as visibility.
- If the course has attempt limits, starting uses an attempt—see Attempt Limits.
- If authors set prerequisites, you may see Prerequisites Not Completed until you finish at least one listed item—see Prerequisites.
Find Content in Your Library
Open Learn. The start page is titled Your library (“What would you like to learn today?”).
- Use Search for content to match keywords in the title.
- Open filters (toggle filters and sorting) and narrow the list:
| Filter | Options you’ll see |
|---|---|
| Type | Course, Meetup, Program — choosing Course also includes SCORM packages (SCORM still shows as SCORM on the card) |
| Requirement | Mandatory or Optional |
| Status | Not started, Ongoing, or Finished |
| Category | Categories set by administrators |
- Clear chips with Clear filters when you want the full list again.
- Open a card to see the content overview and primary actions.
If nothing matches, you’ll see No content found.
Built-In Courses
Start, Continue, and Restart
On the course overview, the footer shows your status and the main button:
| Your status | Primary action |
|---|---|
| Not started | Start Now |
| In progress | Continue |
| Approved or Failed | View (results) |
| Certificate Expired | Renew (when renewal is configured) |
Overflow actions on courses (not programs or meetups):
- Restart — resets progress and starts from the beginning (confirm with Restart?). If the content uses a license, the dialog warns that you lose your current result and need another active license to finish again.
- Cancel — only while In progress; ends the current attempt without finishing.
You do not need to finish in one sitting—progress is saved.
If attempts remain, confirming Start Now can open Use Attempt? first. Details: Attempt Limits.
Pass, Fail, and Retry
- After you finish and the result is approved, open View (or View Results) to see chapter outcomes.
- If you Failed, you can try again with Restart Course from results (when attempts and licenses allow).
- After you pass, you typically only retake when certificate renewal points back at the same course (or related renewal content)—see Renewal.
Reflections
Some courses include Reflections on the overview after you complete them—your answers (and any file uploads or reviewer comments). Managers review answers in Follow Up—see Reflection Questions. As a learner you mainly see what you submitted.
When Authors Publish an Update
Authors choose how updates land. Learner impact:
| Author choice | What you experience |
|---|---|
| Patch (same revision) | In-progress learners usually keep their place; refresh to see updated text or media |
| New revision | You may be moved to the new version and need to restart work; mid-course you can see Oops — Course updated! and must start the chapter again |
| Force reset results (optional on publish) | Clears prior results, participation, and certificates for that content |
After you already completed an older revision, results can show New Version Available with View Latest Version. Author-side detail: Publishing Updates—do not duplicate that setup here.
Results and Certificates
- Course results stay available from Learn.
- When issuance is enabled, open certificates in the Certificates app (View and Download).
- From Certificates, Go to Learn returns you to the library when you need to continue learning.
SCORM Courses
- Launch and complete SCORM like other courses—Skillhabit provides access; the package controls its own screens and scoring.
- Primary actions match courses: Start Now, Continue, Restart, Cancel (while in progress), then View for results.
- Filtering: use Type → Course to include SCORM; cards still label the type SCORM.
- After completion and approval, results and certificates work like built-in courses. For package-specific behavior (bookmarks inside the SCORM, quiz rules, and so on), ask the course creator.
When a new SCORM package is published, in-progress learners are typically reset—authors control that publish path in Create.
What You Should See Afterward
- Library status moves from Not started → Ongoing → Finished (filter Status).
- Overview status shows Approved or Failed after grading.
- Certificates appear in Certificates when configured.
- If a license or visibility block stops you, use the dialogs described in Visibility in Learn.
