3. You can also turn on captions and/or subtitles for your training.  Captions are text at the bottom of the screen for the course audio - these are useful when learners have trouble hearing a course and would prefer to read that content.  Subtitles are text in another language - (for example: your course audio could be in English, while subtitles are shown in Spanish).

Tips for training multiple groups

A lot of people might need to complete required training.  That training can be assigned through Learning Plans, which your Alchemy Administrators will create, or your administrators might tell you what trainings need to be completed.  As a facilitator, you could facilitate the same training activities multiple times for different groups of people - OR you could set up a large group training.

   • Download Learning Plan Playlists into Player for Player 7
3. If you are setting up the same trainings at different times, you can use Learning Plans or Playlists to help you quickly select your training activities.  All you have to do is click the Playlist or Learning Plan, and all of your training will be selected in the correct order!
