Learning Management Data Collection

The Learning Management data collection is the subset of the University Data Warehouse that contains data from the Knowledge Link, the learning management system used by the University and by the University of Pennsylvania Health System. Knowledge Link enables authorized administrators to schedule training courses, assign resources to courses, assign groups of trainees to courses, and to create online courses. It enables trainees to find out what courses have been assigned to them, to register for those courses (whether those courses are on-line or instructor-led), to take on-line courses, and to provide feedback via course evaluations. Knowledge Link was first used to track information on training required by regulation, but it now tracks information on a variety of training courses.

The Learning Management data collection also stores data from the Penn Profiler. Given a person’s responses to survey questions asking about his or her academic activities and job responsibilities, the Penn Profiler determines the training courses that the person is required to take, and feeds the course assignments to Knowledge Link. The Learning Management data collection stores the responses to the Penn Profiler survey, and the required course assignments fed from the Penn Profiler to Knowledge Link.
