Frequently Asked Questions
Will Skilljar notify instructors when added to a Live Training Lesson?
There is an option in the Lesson Settings that, when enabled (default behavior is enabled), will send a notification to Instructors from Skilljar letting them know that they have been added to a Live Training Event or if any changes are made to that event. See the setting for ‘Email Instructor When Added to Event And For Event Updates.
To navigate there: Course Management > Course > Curriculum > Live Training Lesson > Lesson Settings
Are instructors able to modify or delete another instructor's event after authenticating via Multiple Instructors?
Dashboard Admins can modify events for individual instructors via the Lesson or Live training pages. If the individual instructor is not a dashboard user, they cannot edit events.
We also have Custom Roles that allow limited ILT management for Instructors without providing them full course editing capabilities. Reach out to your Account Manager to learn more!
What happens to Live Training events if the instructor who sets the events up is deactivated in Skilljar?
All things related to the deactivated instructor's Live Event in Skilljar will no longer work. Students will no longer be able to register for the event, and they can not be removed/deleted from the event if already registered. A good rule of thumb is to take these admin actions before deactivating the instructor to ensure a smooth student experience.
Why can I not see the desired instructor on my list of Instructor Names?
If you do not see the desired instructor on the list of Instructor Names, this is likely because the instructor has not authenticated their account.
