Troubleshooting

Why isn't my online activity status showing as "Complete"?

In order for an online resource to be logged as "complete" you must perform the following:

  • Watch the video in its entirety (without skipping/fast-forwarding through the video).
  • Complete the online course in its entirety by clicking through each slide/page individually and completing any quiz or survey at the end with a passing score. 
  • Allow up to 5-10 minutes for the system to sync your completion status. 

If you have completed all of the above steps, please check Resource Library > My History to confirm that the system has recorded your interaction with the resource. 

Why are my hours/credits not showing for the course I recently attended?

It's likely your activity has not been fully approved and set to a completed status. If your activity is in a completed status and you have not been awarded hours/credits please reach out to your organization administrator for additional assistance. 

Why are courses appearing twice in my portfolio?

There are a few different reasons why an activity might appear twice in your portfolio.

Portfolio View: The Purpose view or “View by Purpose” area will show a listing of activities where a Purpose has been checked-off on the registration form. If your registration form has more than one purpose selected, the activity will show under each purpose in this view. Viewing your transcript or “View All” will provide an accurate view of your total hours/credits.

Multiple Forms: When you register for an activity - either through your District’s catalog or through an outside provider’s catalog - a registration form is generated for you. In these cases, there is no need to complete a fill-in form located on the left navigation pane of your account.

Many times, users will complete a fill-in form to request credit for an activity they have already registered for, and this creates duplication. The best way to distinguish the registration type and/or status is by accessing the forms’ Reference Id.

Why am I unable to find an Activity to register for?
The activity may be assigned to a specific group you are not a part of. Reach out to the Instructor of the activity.
