Course Content Creation ToolkitThe content creation toolkit outlines how content is developed and maintained in the healthLearn LMS What is a toolkit? A toolkit (or style manual) is a formal set of standards used for the writing, structure and layout of courses and content on healthLearn.The purpose of this toolkit is to provide uniformity in layout and style in formatting a course. When constructing a course, or building content in healthLearn, it is important to ensure that your work aligns to the healthLearn style guide, so that users of your course can locate essential information easily, and that all areas of your course are familiar and easier to use. The information is presented in three sections.

Profanities You may not use profanity or bypass the software-based censor. In addition to words included in the censor list, sexual remarks and slang may be considered profane when used in certain contexts. A word about what is considered to be bypassing the software-based censor: Anything done to avoid the default *'s provided by the censor is considered to be a bypass of the censor. For example, if the word “angle” was in the censor (it is not), then all of the following are considered a bypass of the censor and thus in violation of the Code of Conduct:

Derogatory Terms If you use any terms in an offensive context against a person, race, culture, group or organization, as determined by our moderators, you are in violation of this rule. Please note that words carry different meanings in different cultures, and that while a word may be acceptable use in one part of the world, it may not be in another. In addition, anyone can invent their own derogatory terms, unfortunately. Because of those factors, we will evaluate the context in which the term was used to determine whether a violation has occurred.
Porn/Sexually Offensive Materials You may not post or link to pornography or sexually offensive materials.
Offensive Images / Shock Sites You may not post or link to shock sites, or any such obscene material. Violations of this rule will result in a permanent ban on your account.

Intravenous Fluid and Medication Peripheral Administration ProgrammesTo gain the entry level Peripheral IV fluid and medication endorsement, staff are required to complete one of the Medication and Fluid Foundation Programmes. Please also note that there is no longer a requirement for a practical clinical assessment within the foundation programmes. Instead, staff are able to download a checklist to work through with their preceptor or IV link staff member. The clinical checklists are located on the Lippincott online procedural manual. To access these, you need to be on a work computer, via the Lippincott app or by using a username and password issued by your organisation. Monitoring will be in the form of clinical practice observations or similar, which is undertaken by your workplace IV link staff, quality or audit staff. Experts from around the South Island have been developing a number of online courses for our Medication and Fluid Foundation programme. This replaces our old Level 1 (or initial) IV Peripheral Therapy Competency. The purpose of the foundation programme is to maintain consistency and quality of our medication and fluid management training and assessment throughout the South Island health sector. Each foundation programme is made up of a range of courses. Each course has an assessment quiz ranging from 5-15 questions. . The programmes and courses are as follows:
Any organisation is welcome to use these courses for IV therapy endorsement, however each organisation must have their own policies and procedures on the process of endorsing staff to administer IV medication, ongoing assessment of staff and maintenance of skills, knowledge and standards. . The division of courses are designed to cater to the needs of the hospital and community settings. Some examples:
If you have staff who have transferred to your area you may require them to complete an additional foundation course depending on the clinical area requirements.

Job Assignments - What are they ?Job assignments enable users to capture their different responsibilities within their organisation. Job assignments can be created and updated manually via a user's profile and users may hold any number of job assignments, with each job optionally linked to a position, organisation, manager, appraiser and temporary manager. Managers with team members holding one or more job assignments - including users that might report to other managers too - can see all of their team's details in their Team area and have full access to their record of learning and learning plans. For seminar events that require manager approval, learners reporting to multiple managers can choose to select which manager should receive the booking approval request. This allows the appropriate manager to approve attendance and manage team member training schedules. |
Manager - How do I approve a bookingThere are a couple of ways to approve a booking
To keep track of your requests - once you have actioned them - it is helpful to clean up your task box and delete these processed requests by selecting the task and then at the bottom of the page - click 'Dismiss' Please note: the staff MUST have selected you as their manager for any requests to appear on your dashboard. . |
Manager - Taking LeaveIf as a Manager you are planning leave - or know that you will not be able to action and approve any course requests, you need to do the followingRequest that your staff add a Temporary Manager In the staff members Job Assignment information which is located in the 'My Details' block/box, there is the ability for a staff member to add a temporary manager. They should select the name of the manager - and how long you will be away for. When a temporary manager is selected - you will receive a notification message letting you know that one of your staff have selected a temporary manager, and who that manager is. In an emergency - if you are away, the staff member can contact the course tutor - or facilitator asking them to approve your staff member on your behalf. Please look at the course details carefully to identify who is the most suitable person to contact for your organisation, as some courses have more than one tutor - who belong to different organisations. |
Manager - What reports can I seeAs a Manager you are able to see a range on information about your staff.The first stage is to ensure that staff in your area have selected you as their manager in their healthLearn profile. There are two ways to do this - more information can be found in the "How do I add my Manager" section of the Help Files. In your Team tab (in the main menu).Once a staff member has selected you as their manager, you will see their information in your "Team" tab, which will be shown on the main menu at the top of the site. Each staff member will have information that you will be able to view. The initial information that you can see for all staff who report to you is a summary table of learning being undertaken - or completed. For more information you can select your staff member and view the following;
On your Manager dashboard,there is a table which shows a list of any staff members awaiting course approval - or on a waitlist for a course. To see staff in this report - they must have selected you as their manager. You will also still see their approval requests in your "Tasks" box - located on your dashboard on the left side - and under the Team tab on your main menu. In your Reports tab(in the main menu), there are additional reports that you can access for the staff who have assigned you as their manager.

Manager and Educator - Important information for new staff or staff leavingIf a new member of staff begins in your workplace and...They already have a healthLearn account - Just ask them to update their position (if applicable), workplace and manager. It is important that they do not create another account as this will result in two accounts they have to maintain and two records of learning. If they have lost access to their account contact the technical team on admin@healthlearn.ac.nz If staff do not have a healthLearn account - Ask them to create a new account. When they create their account they can set their workplace and position during setup - but can only select their Manager once they have logged into the system with an active account. This is for security reasons so that people without healthLearn access cannot view the user directory, and to ensure that only people who are logged in can view the user directory. If a staff member is moving onIf a staff member starts a new job, they will still be able to access healthLearn and their record of learning. Please encourage them to do the following
