General

What is the All Learning page and why has it changed?

The STARS All Learning page is an online summary of your STARS learning activity. It is designed to simplify the presentation of learning courses and provide better guidance to training actions that you, as a learner, may need to perform.

I get an "Unable to retrieve your learning" error message when I select All Learning from the STARS menu?

This occurs when the All Learning page hasn’t completed loading the course data. Please use the browser’s Reload page function to reload the page. If you continue to receive this error, try accessing the main STARS menu.

If you’re unable to access the main STARS page, close Axess and log back into Axess.

What are the buttons at the top of the page?

Each of the training activity sections within the All Learning page have an associated section button. Section button(s) can be selected (gray background) or de-selected (white background) to show or hide the section(s).

Note: The Action Needed: Enroll/Register section cannot be de-selected.

What do the numbers shown on each top button mean?

They represent the number of courses listed in the section.

Learning Activity

I click on a learning status button at the top and nothing happens?

Below are possible reasons for this:

  • Confirm that the learning status button for the section(s) you are trying to select is gray
  • The Action Needed: Enrolled/Register section cannot be hidden (the button will always be gray)
  • You may not see your Training History section if the length of your Action Needed section(s) fill up the page; scroll down the page to view your Training History
How do I access my training history?

By default, when viewing the All Learning page the two Action Needed sections will be automatically selected.

Click on the Training History section button at the top of the page to display the section.

What courses are listed in each of the sections?

Courses appear within each section of the All Learning page based on information outlined in the following table:

All Learning Page Section Courses Included

Action Needed: Enroll/Register

  • Courses added to your training plan after completing TNAT

  • Courses added to your training plan from your supervisor

  • Courses assigned to you (a new feature currently in early adoption)

Action Needed: Launch/Complete

  • Courses you are currently enrolled in

  • Courses you have begun but have not completed

  • Classroom or other session-based courses enrolled into but either have not begun or your attendance has not been marked as completed

Training History

  • Courses, curriculums, conferences or certifications you have completed

  • Courses you have not completed (i.e., past a course completion period)

  • Certifications that have expired

What date is shown in the Action Needed: Launch/Complete section?

It displays the enrollment/registration date of the course or the date you launched the online course.

Note: The date is not the start date for a classroom session; click on the course link to get more details about the classroom session.

I completed a course, but it still appears in the Action Needed: Launch/Complete section. What should I do?

Contact the course administrator of the course to mark your completion. To find the course administrator, click on the course title and look at the Contact field. If there is no contact, please submit a STARS HelpSU ticket [Request Category = Administrative Systems, Request Type = STARS – Stanford Training and Registration System].

I see old course(s) under both the Action Needed sections that I do not need to complete anymore. What should I do?

You can perform the following action based on the section:

  • Action Needed: Enroll/Register may include courses added by TNAT in previous years that no longer apply to your work. Remove the courses by clicking the Remove button.
  • Action Needed: Launch/Complete may include courses you started but never intended to complete. Remove the courses by clicking the Drop button.
  • If you do not see the Remove or Drop button, submit a STARS HelpSU ticket requesting us to remove/drop for you. [HelpSU Request Category = Administrative Systems, Request Type = STARS–Stanford Training and Registration System]
I don't see my dropped course(s), where can I view them?

Dropped courses are no longer included in the All Learning page. This minimizes the length and clutter of the Training History section and increase the system performance. If you cannot find the email for the dropped courses and need a list of them, please submit a STARS HelpSU ticket. [HelpSU Request Category = Administrative Systems, Request Type = STARS–Stanford Training and Registration System]
