NEOED Learn
What is it?
Learn is a learning management system (LMS) that serves as the University’s hub for employee training. This central platform will help us access university-specific trainings to help us navigate the systems, software, and procedures we need to perform our jobs effectively. View all your assigned trainings, track your progress, and receive reminders about due dates—all in one convenient location.
We will also use the Learn system to complete important required trainings—such as FERPA, Cybersecurity, Mandatory Reporter, and Indian Education for All (IEFA). Learn will connect to the Onboard module of NeoEd to assign new employees their required training and other training to help them succeed in their new roles as part of their onboarding checklist.
Who can use it?
Campus units with training responsibilities or interests can use Learn to deliver and manage training for faculty and staff. Please note students do not have access to Learn. Learn allows you to assign courses, track who has completed a course, and generate completion reports. Learn also offers a built-in library of courses on topics such as compliance, safety, and reporting that can be previewed for consideration by departments looking for ready-made training content.

Students (including student employees) are not put into this system and therefore have no way to be assigned or access these trainings.
The exception is Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) and Graduate Research Assistants (GRAs) - these two categories of student employees will have access to NeoEd Learn trainings.

We recommend creating a presentation that is separated into short chapters, then recording a voice over with subtitles for your presentation (each chapter/video should not exceed ~5-7 minutes if possible). This format accommodates both visual and audio learners. We also recommend including summary text below the presentation.
Other methods you can use to keep your training engaging include: images, links to resources, quizzes/check-in questions through the training, and diagrams. For videos, we recommend using a voiceover and not physically
appearing in the video so that the video can remain relevant even as positions/roles may change.
The Office of Organizational Learning and Development team will work with you to create your trainings and make them relevant and engaging for employees.

Once your course is created, you can be given admin privileges, so you can assign courses to any employee. If your course is required for all employees, we can set it to automatically assign whenever a new employee starts on their first day. If it is only for a specific group, depending on how this is specified, we may also be able to have the training automatically assigned to that specific set of employees.
