Linking Lessons to Skills

Administrators can efficiently link any lesson to a skill in the EPP. This enables accurate tracking of employee competencies and the dates they were achieved, across Damstra Learning and the EPP.

How to link a skill to a lesson?

Only users with Admin permissions have the ability to link a skill to a lesson.

To link a skill to a lesson:

1. Go to the Lessons page then create a lesson.
2. After building the lesson content and optionally adding assessment questions, preview the lesson.
3. Once the lesson is to your liking, click the Publish button.
4. In the Publish Lesson window, you can create a new skill or link the lesson to an existing skill.
   
5. Click Publish.

How to create a new skill?

If the skill is not yet created in EPP, you can create it in the Publish Lesson window of Damstra Learning.

To create a new skill:

1. Select the Create a new skill option.
2. Enter the Skill name and Skill code. These can be a combination of letters, numbers and special characters.
3. Select the Skill type.
4. Select the Skill category from the dropdown list.
5. Select the Default expiry.

How to link to an existing skill?

You can also link the lesson to an existing skill in the Publish Lesson window.

To link to an existing skill:

1. Select the Link to an existing skill option.
2. Select the Skill to link to from the dropdown list.
3. Click Publish.

Once a lesson with a linked skill has been published, a link icon will appear on the Lessons page. This icon indicates that the lesson is successfully linked to a skill.

What happens when a learner completed a lesson that is linked to a skill?

The lesson completion is recorded in Damstra Learning in the Results page. Simultaneously, the corresponding skill is automatically added to the employee’s EPP profile.
