Hi All,
We introduced Totara in our automotive manufacturing factory and we are trying to link how Totara is used for teaching our maintenance teams about weekly checks, PMs etc, to the actual audit report on each machine.
In this way a learner can look at the step-by-step training material to support the checks and record the check results, submit a proof of the checks been completed.
So far I’ve tried:
- Submission activity using fillable PDF forms: it works and it’s a possibility, however filling the forms on the iPad seems to be a bit tricky while on the shop floor
- Feedback activity: I like this and it’s very nice to fill in as I use the break page to have 1 check per page, and in the question I have the image of the actual check instructions. I used the weekly course activating the submission window only for that specific week, so that only the correct activity is shown. The only possible problem here is how to give the Supervisor the possibility to accept or refuse the feedback (basically state if the report had been filled correctly) for auditing purposes
- Appraisal forms: it looks like it could be a good option but I’ve only started exploring a day ago, so I don’t know too much about it yet
I remember finding a while ago here a Totara partner able to add customised forms into Totara and I would like to find out more about this. The reason being, it would help a lot to increase the use of Totara from our users if they could have a direct link between training and completing their job in an easier way.
Thanks
