Learn Content Retirements & Updates (August 29, 2025)

Sorry if this is a dumb question.  We just rolled out Learning Plans a couple of months ago.  For the list of updates, specifically Distracted Driving, do employees need to finish the courses that are being updated prior to August 29th?  Or is that only for the courses that are retiring/being replaced?  Thanks for your help!

Hi Melissa,

Not a dumb question at all. Yes, any users enrolled in the courses to be updated should have them completed by the 29th. Users in progress during the time of the updates may experience issues and need to be dropped/re-enrolled. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Another potentially dumb question. Will an updated course automatically update in our system? Or do I  need to “add” it again?

Hi Matthew,

Still not a dumb question. 😁 You will not need to add it again. It will automatically update. 

Thank you!  And those that have a “not started” status will automatically be dropped and reenrolled?  Or is that a manual process?  Thanks so much for your quick replies and assistance!

​@melissa.jackson No, this would only affect users currently in progress. If a course has not been started prior to the scheduled update, that user would see the updated course when it is launched.

We use the Harassment Prevention for Employees condensed version - did this one get updated as well?

Thanks.

​@bmacferrin Yes, it is among the list courses to be updated August 29. To be safe, double check the attached lists to determine if you are using any other courses.

On the Courser Retirement spreadsheet, it lists Mastering Microsoft 365 (2022) as retiring, but it lists the same exact course with the same course code as its replacement. Does this mean it is not actually retiring, but just being updated?

​@BTILTON You are correct. That course has been updated and is currently available. Thanks for catching that!
