Create and Edit a Module that includes Mosby Nursing SkillsYou must select and add skills to the queue before you can create a module that includes skills. Once you create the module, you can edit properties (e.g., Add a checklist to a skill, require a test) for the entire module and/or individual skills within the module.

Tip: Try not to overwhelm your Learners with more skills/lessons than they can handle.

Selecting and Adding Skills for a ModuleYou can select one or more skills to add to the module. You can also add E-learning lessons to the module. You have the option to require a checklist and or require a test for one or all Skills and you can assign one or more preceptors to the module to grade the required checklists.

Steps to Add Skills to the Queue for a New Module:1. From the menu bar, select E-learning — Create an Assignable Module.

2. Click the Manage Queue tab.

Tip: If there are skills or lessons already listed on this page you are not going to use, either click Remove All or select the checkboxes of the skills/lessons you want to remove, and click Remove Selected.

3. Click the Add Lessons button.

6. Click the checkbox to the left of the name of the skill or skills you want to include in the module. Then click the Add Selected Skills button at the bottom of the list. You can browse using the Index on the left or you can search by keyword to find the skills you want to add to the course. For detailed information about how to browse and search for a specific skill, see the Help document: Browse and Search for Skills.

Note: After you browse and search for a skill and select the checkboxes for one or more skills, click the Add Selected Skills button to save your selections.

Browse: Using the Index on the left, you can find a skill by the first letter of its name. All skills that start with the letter selected return in an alphabetical list. Click the first letter of the name of the skill you want to find. All skills that start with the selected letter display alphabetically on the right. To narrow your search further within the results, enter additional text in the "Search within this index". Click Go. The narrowed list of skills displays on the right.

8. If you want to add lessons or an additional Skill Click Add Lessons and continue as above

9. When you have collected all of the skills and lessons choose the Create Module tab.

Creating the Module - Add Selected Skills from the QueueYou need to create a module to deliver skills/lessons to your Learners. Once you name the module and add the skills/lessons you will create the module. You can add additional properties to the module once it is created.

Steps to Create a Module 1. If you are not already at the Create Module tab, from the main menu, select e-Learning —

Create an Assignable Module. You should have already selected the lessons you want to add to the module (see Selecting and Adding Skills for a Module above).

2. Type a name for the new module (e.g., Beginning Airways).




Tip: If you manage multiple facilities, you may want to begin your module name with a particular facilities initials so that all modules for any given facility stay together.

3. (Optional) Make it Global: Select if you want all administrators to have access to assign and edit this module.

4. Either click “Add all lessons below to the new module” to add all the lessons listed below, OR click the checkboxes in front of each Skill’s name you want to include in the new Module.

The example below shows that two skills were selected to add to the new module.

5. Optional. Assign a Due Date: The system automatically defaults to 90 days from date of assignment as the timeframe for completion of the selected lessons. If you want the lessons completed in more or less than 90 days from the date of assignment, enter that number under Complete Days. When the module is assigned the LMS automatically calculates the date due based on the number of days entered here.

If the assigned lessons must be completed by a specific date no matter when they are assigned then add that date under Due Date (mm/dd/yyyy).

The example below shows that the second class listed has a due date added: 04/01/2009. This means that the 90 days to its left will be ignored.

Note: You may also make these changes after you create the module using the Edit Module option.

6. Click Create the Module button at the bottom of the page. You will receive the message “The module ‘whatever you named the module’ was created successfully!”

7. If you want to add/edit properties (e.g., require a checklist, require a test, set passing scores etc) for the new module, move to “Editing a Module’s Properties and Skills within the Module” next.




Editing a Module’s Properties Once a module is created you have the opportunity to add properties for the entire module and/or individually to the skills within the module. Some examples: requiring a checklist for one or more of the skills, ability to select one or more preceptor to grade a checklist for a module, and require a test.

Steps to Edit a Module’s Properties Some properties can be applied to all skills/lessons in the module or to individual skills/lessons.

1. If you are not already at the ‘Lessons’ tab, from the main menu, select e-Learning — Edit Existing Modules and select a module. Click the Lessons tab.

A list of all the skills/lessons in the module display along with the options: ‘Complete Days’, ‘Due Date’, ‘Priority’, ‘Randomize Test’, and ‘Require Checklist’.

2. From ‘Change All Lesson Properties’ in the upper left, you can set a number of optional selections for all lessons in the module at once by adding information on that line and clicking the Update button on the right.

Complete any of the following optional selections for the entire module:

Complete Days: the number of days the Learner has to complete the lesson from the date it is assigned.

Due Date If the lessons are due to be completed by a specific date regardless of when they are assigned add the date here (mm/dd/yyyy).

Priority this effects the order lessons appear in the Learner’s lesson plan. If you want the lesson to be first then set the priority to 1. When all lessons are at the same priority they appear alphabetically in the order of their due dates.

Randomize Test: Check this box to have the test questions appear in random order each time a Learner takes the test.

Require Checklist: Check this box to require a Checklist for all skills in the module.




2. From the ‘Individual Lesson Properties’ below, you can make changes to individual skills/lessons. Complete any of the following optional selections:

Complete Days: the number of days the Learner has to complete the lesson from the date it is assigned.

Due Date If the lessons are due to be completed by a specific date regardless of when they are assigned add the date here (mm/dd/yyyy).

Priority this effects the order lessons appear in the Learner’s lesson plan. If you want the lesson to be first then set the priority to 1. If all lessons are at the same priority they appear alphabetically in the order of their due dates.

Test Required – Check this box to require the test for the Skill.

Randomize Test: Check this box to have the test questions appear in random order each time a Learner takes the test.

Require Checklist: Check this box to require a Checklist for the selected skill.

Note: If ‘Test Bank Deliver ‘or ‘Test Bank Size’ are available, you may make changes as needed. Test Bank Deliver let’s you choose the number of questions you want to appear on the test but you may not choose more lessons than available in the Test Bank. Test Bank Size shows you the maximum number of questions available for the test.

Note: For Lessons that award Certification the number of questions in the test is set by the accrediting provider and may not be changed.




The example below shows three lessons selected for editing.

3. Click Save Lesson Changes button when you have finished making changes to the lesson or lessons you want to edit.

4. If you want to add/edit Test properties (e.g., require a pretest) for the new module click the Test Properties tab and move to “Editing a Module’s Test Properties” next.

Editing a Module’s Test PropertiesTest properties are applied to all skills/lessons in a module. You can set a minimum test score, a minimum pretest score, a frequency for retakes, and/or require a pretest, require a lesson to be completed before the test can be attempted, and to show correct answers for each question in the testing summary.

Steps to Add/Edit Test Properties in a Module1. If you are not already at the ‘Test Properties’ tab, from the main menu, select e-Learning —

Edit Existing Modules and select a module. Click the Test Properties tab.

2. Complete any of the following optional selections for the testing for the entire module.

Minimum Test Score – You can add the minimum score you require to pass the test and mark the lesson complete. It can be any score from 1 – 100. If you leave this blank, it uses the system default score set by your organization.

Minimum Pre Test Score – You can add the minimum score you require for a Learner to pass the pre-test and mark a lesson complete. If you leave this blank it uses the system default score set by your organization.

Retake Frequency – You can use this option to limit how frequently a Learner can retake the test. If you leave it blank the Learner may retake the test immediately. If you put a 1 in the box it will be 24 hours before the Learner may retake the test. 2 = 48 hrs etc.

Require a Pretest – You can check this box if you want the Learner to be required to take a pre-test before the lesson can be viewed.




Require the lesson to be completed before the test can be attempted – You can check this box to require a Learner to open every page of the lesson before the post test can be attempted.

Note: You can choose to require a Pretest and require the lesson be completed before the test can be attempted. If you choose both then the learner will be forced to take the pretest before they can open the lesson and then they are required to go through the lesson before the option to take the post test will appear.

Show correct answers for each question in Learner Testing Summary – You can check this box to show the correct answers when the test is completed. We recommend you leave this unchecked.

3. Click Save when you have completed your changes.

4. If you want to add/edit Module Properties (e.g., select a program for the module - HIPPA) for the new module click the Module Properties tab and move to “Editing a Module’s Properties” next.

Adding/Editing Preceptors for a Module with SkillsThe option to Add/Edit Skills Preceptors to the module is only available if there are Mosby Nursing Skills included in the module.

Note: You will need to create your Skills Preceptors before you can assign them to a module. To be a Preceptor the individual must first be a Learner in the system.

Steps to Create a Preceptor 1. Admin Home — Learners – Lookup Learners. 2. Enter all or part of a Learner’s last name.

Editing a Module’s Properties Module properties allow you to rename or delete your module, make it global and change ownership as well as add to a program for reporting purposes and change its assignment priority.

Note: Programs are a fast way to gather reporting information when the same topic is delivered in multiple modules. When an administrator creates modules he/she can “assign” a program to the module. Then, when the Administrator wants to collect data on all lessons related to that program no matter what module they were in the Administrator can run a Program Report which includes all modules assigned to that program. See the Help document “Program Reports from Reports - Admin.”

Steps to Edit Test Properties and Programs in a Module1. If you are not already at the ‘Test Properties’ tab, from the main menu, select e-Learning —

Edit Existing Modules and select a module. Click the Module Properties tab.

3. (Optional) If you want to delete the module, click the Delete Module to delete your module.

Note: If the module is assigned to Learners you will not see the delete button.

4. (Optional) Click Make Global to allow other administrators to see, assign and edit the module. OR, (Optional) if the module is a global module and you want to make it local, click the Make Local button to remove the global access to the module.

Note: After you click the Make Local button, you are given the option to change ownership of the module and the button changes to a “Make global” button so you can change it back to a ‘global’ module.

Change Owner - If you want to allow the module to be moved to a new administrator (e.g., the creator is no longer with the organization), click the Change Owner button. A popup opens to change the current owner of the module. After you complete the popup, click the Change button.




5. Program Selection - If you want to assign a Program to the module click the program from the drop down menu. Programs provide an alternative way to gather reports on a module. You may add additional programs for tracking by contacting your Client Service Representative.

Program names used to track modules are defined by your organization (e.g., all modules related to HIPAA training can be attached to one program for easy tracking).

6. Assignment Priority – If you want to give a priority to the module and the order it appears in on the Learners lesson plan, use the drop-down to select a number from one (1) to nine (9). High priority (9) places it at the top of the lesson plan.
