Access ContentServe
Our linked solution to enable customer's to access our off-the-shelf content or content from one of our content partners, when they have their own or a third-party LMS. The content is hosted on either a shared portal (referred to as multi-tenancy) or a sole use (referred to as single-tenancy) ContentServe site. Users can seamlessly launch the content via their own LMS. Customers are given a login to the ContentServe LMS to download the SCORM files but can also use additional tools to create eCreator course, pathways and amend assessments. All activity is fully trackable and reportable.
Access Learning

Access to the content libraries is subject to the subscription taken. The features and functionality on these sites are pre-configured meaning all organisations has access to the same tools and capability.

Negative Scoring Mode

Organisation Unit

A group of Activities packaged together as one overall Activity. For example, an Induction Pathway could include the staff handbook, a health and safety video and an Assessment.
Portlet

Question Bank
A collection of questions that can be used in an Assessment. The Question Bank can contain more questions than a User is required to answer so that a specified number of questions can be selected at random within an Assessment. An Administrator will need to download a template in CSV format which they can add their questions to. This template ensures that the Unicorn LMS can understand the file when it is uploaded.
