This guide will walk you through the essential processes of testing eLearning courses in Lucidity Induction and Competency, enabling you to refine and perfect your training materials before deployment.

1. Testing eLearning courses

Once eLearning courses are completely built, it is recommended they are fully tested from an end-user point of view to ensure they play as expected.

The resources themselves can be viewed from within the edit screen of a module but it is still important to test the full process in the same way an end user will.

Testing can be conducted in Lucidity Induction OR Lucidity Competency, depending on the site configuration, modules being used and tester knowledge.

To test eLearning in Lucidity Competency:

• Create the full course package including modules, resources and any assessment in Induction.
• Link the course to a Competency capability.
• Assign a need to the tester for the Competency capability.
• From the tester's My Training Competency page, complete the training from start to finish.
• Make any required adjustments to the course and retest until the desired result is achieved.

To test eLearning in Lucidity Induction:

• Create the full course package including modules, resources and any assessment.
• Add the course to a course group.
• Log out and create a self-registered user profile.
• Select the newly created course group.
• Complete the training from start to finish.
• Make any required adjustments to the course and retest until the desired result is achieved.

2. Testing tips

The following is a list of recommendations when testing eLearning:

• Test in all browsers end users are likely to access (i.e., Chrome etc).
• Test in all devices end users are likely to use (mobiles, tablets etc).
• Review SCORM and responsiveness technology where applicable.
• Review content and questions for content/spelling errors.
• Have more than one tester review the entire course from end to end.
