In response to staff governance requests, Statewide Human Resources has introduced a three-month online learning program pilot to enhance employee training and development. This three month pilot online learning program is available AT NO COST to university employees.
The "SkillSoft" program offers thousands of online courses, books and job aids on topics including business and management skills, desktop skills (Microsoft Office—Word, Excel, Access, etc.), information technology and preparatory exams for certification. This pilot will assist the university in assessing if the course content satisfies your learning needs and if the “e-learning” delivery method works well for you.
Benefits of online courses include the accessibility to training material when needed as well as facilitating self-paced learning. The online courses are on the internet and can be downloaded to a PC and viewed offline, if desired. The online materials can be used to supplement traditional training methods and provide an opportunity for skill development as a stand-alone resource as well.
You may check out available courses by logging into the site from the Statewide HR Website http://www.alaska.edu/hr/training/e-learning/skillsoft.xml. The login requires the UA ID number or the UA user name and the MyUA portal/EDIR password (also known as AuthServ password). For UAF or UAA users, this may be different than the account you use to check email or sign into your computer. If you have never used this account or if you need to reset your password, follow the directions on the site to access a self-service application or ask for help from your local helpdesk or support center.
