You must have a Classroom Instructor account to use the Learning Management System (LMS) lesson tracking functionality. To get a classroom instructor account and credentials, please contact the PM Helpdesk at salesteam@pm-prepcast.com or your account representative at OSP International LLC.

Step 1: Log in using your Classroom Instructor account.

Access the PM PrepCast "Home" page at https://www.project-management-prepcast.com/. Click on the down arrow of the orange login control in the upper right of the screen. Enter the classroom instructor login credentials you received from the PM Helpdesk and click the orange login button.
Please see the example below.

Step 2: Select the course you wish to track.

After logging into your account as an instructor, you will be presented with the "Welcome" page below. In the "My active courses" section, locate the course you want to track. In the example below, The PM PrepCast video training course will be selected. Click on the name of the course to navigate to the course homepage.

Step 3: Access the Tracking features.

The course homepage has a blue vertical bar on the left-hand side with various menu items. Placing your mouse pointer over an icon in the blue bar will display the menu item's name. Optionally, you can click the double arrow >> at the top bar to expand the menu and expose the names of each control. An example of each option is shown below. Whichever option you choose, locate and click on the Tracking control. 

Step 4: Track the progress of the course participants.

The Tracking homepage displays the various activities and statistics of the course participants for the course you have selected. To view the course participants' progress, select the Learning Path Statistics under the "Statistics reports" section of the Tracking homepage.

Step 5: Select the Learning Path

On the Learning Paths statistics page, the Learning Path drop-down menu defaults to display all learning paths in a course. To access a specific learning path, click the down arrow of the drop-down menu and select it from the choices. In the example below, the PM PrepCast learning path has been chosen.

Step 6: Select the class or group you wish to track

After selecting the learning path, use the Group drop-down menu to select the course from those assigned to you as a Classroom Instructor. In the example below, the Initech PMP Class was selected.

Step 7: View the progress of those assigned to my class.

After selecting a group, you will see each participant's progress summary. The information includes a progress bar showing the percentage of lessons completed by the user, the date the first video lesson was watched, and the date the course was completed.

Step 8: View the progress made by a course participant

Select a name from the Users drop-down menu to view a course participant's progress. In this example, we have chosen to view Milton's progress.

The selected student's progress will be displayed as a Learning Path tree with the status of each item in the course.

A learning path is comprised of various items. Most of the items are modulesand lessons within the modules. Some are quizzes or documents. Each item has a status icon next to it. There are three statuses:

 - Not started

 - In Progress

 - Completed

Not started - The participant has never viewed the item.

In Progress: The participant has opened the item by navigating to it from the predecessor item using the "Next" button or the successor item using the "Prev" button. The item can also be directly opened by clicking on it from this view. 

Completed - The participant viewed the item and navigated forward or backward using either the "Next" or "Prev" button.

Step 9: Change the status of a single item in the learning path tree (optional)

Note: If the course participants download the lessons to a podcast player on a mobile device, they can listen to them anywhere without needing to be connected to the internet. The LMS cannot track actions taken outside the system. To address this issue, the LMS allows the status of an item to be manually changed to record progress outside the LMS. 

To change the status of a single item in the learning path tree, click the status icon of the item whose status you want to change. You will be given a warning requesting you confirm the status change before proceeding. Click "Yes, change the status" will change the item's status. 

The following screenshots are an example of the steps described above.

Step 10:  Change the status of multiple items in the learning path tree (optional)

There are two ways to change the status of multiple items in the learning path tree.

Option 1:

Click the status icon of a module and respond to the confirmation warning. Clicking "Yes, change the status" will change the status of the module and all sub-items within it.

Option 2:

Please select the checkboxes next to the items for which you want to change the status.

Scroll up to the top of the learning path tree and select either the green "Completed" icon or the red "Not started" icon to change the status of the selected items. 

Once you agree to the warning, the status of all selected items, including their sub-items, will be updated.
