An Activity is one piece of training. Build your own from videos, documents, forms and links, or add a ready-made course from a connected library, then add it to a Program so the right team members get it.
Build your own Activity
Select Add an Activity. It's at the top right of the Activities page. Open Activities from the sidebar.
Name and describe it. Fill these in on the Details tab.
Add your content. Under Add Content, choose Paddl's own blocks, such as a video, text or PDF, or blocks from your connected tools. Add them in the order team members should work through them.
Select Save changes.
Choose its settings. Select Manage Activity at the top right of the Activity's page, then open the Settings tab. See Activity settings for what each option does.
Pro tip: See Activity content blocks for what each block does, and how your connections add more.
Add a course from a connected library
Open the arrow on Add an Activity. Under From Connection, select the library, such as Typsy (SCORM).
Find a course and select Add. Every course in your library is listed, and you can search for one by name.
The course is added to your Activities as it is. You can't edit its content, so its page shows Go to Source instead of Edit Content.
Assign it
Add it to a Program. This is the standard way to assign training. You set the requirement once, the Program assigns it to the Groups you choose, and Paddl tracks Activity Records and expiry for you. See Create a Program.
Assign it directly
Select Assign to Members. It's in the left column of the Activity's page. Choose a Group or search for individual members, use the Required switch to make it one of their required activities, then select Assign Activity.
Pro tip: Keep direct assignment for urgent or one-off cases, such as a single team member who needs a course this week. For anything ongoing, use a Program.
Track an Activity
Each Activity's page shows how many members it's assigned to and how many Programs use it. Member Status breaks assigned members down into Complete, Pending and Overdue, and View Engagement Report opens the detail. Below, Programs shows the same breakdown for each Program that includes the Activity.
Change an Activity
Select Manage Activity. It's at the top right of the Activity's page and opens its details on the Details tab and its options on the Settings tab. To change the content of an Activity you built, select Edit Content in the left column.
