Evaluate your training materials and discover what is best for your learners.

Skillsoft Percipio is where all CU employees take required compliance courses, as well as a wide range of recommended training based on their job, role or campus. While training can be offered in multiple formats, such as videos, meetings or documentation, Percipio allows users to take online training that is reported to HCM, the university training system of record for all employees.

Employee Learning and Development (ELD) manages CU's Percipio platform and the CU-specfic courses hosted there. If you would like to use Percipio to manage and report on your training efforts, our team of instructional designers can assist you — whether it's hosting a course you've created or helping you create a new course.

Get started

Before you contact ELD, we've provided these resources to help you determine the best approach to adding a course to Skillsoft.  

  1. Determine whether a custom course is right for your needs and the type of course.
  2. Review the process for creating a collaborative course.
  3. Take the next steps to begin creating your course.

Is a Custom Course right for you?

When evaluating whether your training materials would be a good fit for a Percipio course, consider the following:

What is the reason for the training?

What are the course goals and objectives?

Who is the training audience?

How could the course be transitioned to Skillsoft and maintained?

 

Hosted vs. Collaborative Courses

When evaluating how to get training material into Percipio, two approaches can be taken with different levels of effort and cost to consider:

Hosted Courses

Collaborative Courses

 

​

Process for creating a collaborative course

A collaborative course involves the following steps:

  1. Meet with ELD to discuss the items to consider, as outlined above.
  2. Gather and provide your course-related materials to ELD.
  3. ELD creates a course outline that includes the course’s title, target audience, learning objectives and an outline of major topics. It also indicates whether a quiz or acknowledgement should be included.
  4. The Subject Matter Expert (SME) reviews the course outline and provides edits, where necessary.
  5. After the SME approves the outline, ELD creates a script. The course script acts as a course blueprint, with all course slide content written out and all potential interactivities and simulations described.
  6. ELD provides a statement of work (SOW) outlining next steps and deadlines.
  7. The SME reviews the SOW and course script.
  8. After the SME approves the script, ELD creates a beta version of the course. No further significant content can be added after script approval. The beta version of the course shows how the course will appear and behave once it is live in Skillsoft.
    • The SME reviews the beta version to provide minor corrections, where necessary.
  9. After the SME approves the beta version of the course, ELD publishes it on Skillsoft.
  10. ELD will contact the SME for regular content and technical reviews to ensure that the course content remains up to date for years to come. Feedback from the end-of-course survey can be provided to assist in future review and update cycles.
