Training Curriculum

Do not use training.qa.learningbuilder.net to work through this curriculum!

Some of the training modules require that you change the database, and the public site may already have some of those changes applied.

The training content is best when you have your own private instance initialized to the clean starting state.

  • If you are a Heuristic Solutions employee, then you should do this training in your local development environment (if you’re on the Product Team) or in your Amazon TRAINING Workspace.

  • If you are one of our customers, or a prospective customer, then please contact us for assistance! We can make sure that you’re starting off with a freshly initialized site.

Introduction

The training content is organized around a fictional credentialing board called the American Society of Office Dogs. Though whimsical, this fictional board has some complex business rules and is a good example of LearningBuilder’s core functionality.

We will start out with a conceptual overview, show how to move around the system and perform some key tasks, and then take ever-deeper dives into LearningBuilder’s core architecture.

Overview and initial demo

Some of these links are to PowerPoint presentations. In those cases, you’ll need to manually start the slideshow if you want to watch the pre-recorded narration.
