January's Did You Know?
We ask for specific information when you request a share, transfer. This is to better support you. The red starred fields are always required to facilitate the process quickly and smoothly. Added items help us maintain records so we all have the most recent information. One additional item we request is the learner's email address. Profiles belong to the learner and are tied to organizations. Sometimes learners work for more than one organization. When this information is included, administrators from each organization can notify learners of new assignments directly from the learning management system. For further support on how to use DirectCourse in your administrator role, contact us at DirectCourseMN@umn.edu.

You can find lessons to prepare employees for new tasks or positions, to train supervisors on supervision and leadership techniques, to learn about workforce solutions, or to build a training or credentialing program in your organization. For support on how to use DirectCourse in these ways, contact us at DirectCourseMN@umn.edu.
