- Induction activities such as meeting key stakeholders, learning key systems or reading HR policies
- Self-directed study time
- A learning event the User has attempted which is not captured within the LMS
Navigate to Content Manager from the Menu and click on the Create tab.
Click Offline Activity.
In the popup window, give the Offline Activity a name and click Create New Offline Activity.
You will be taken to the Activity's administration area.
