Percipio 2.0- What’s new?

On December 20th, Learning and Organizational Development transitioned the existing compliance training content to the main platform for the learning management system. The launch of Percipio 2.0 expands access for compliance-only users to include all WSU-created content, including on-demand and instructor-led trainings. Affiliate and Academic Affiliate; Classified/Civil Service (Non-perm); Temp Graduate Assistants; Temp Hourly (Non-student hourly); Payroll Only, and Whitcom (Perm/Temp) employee classification types will not have access to the Skillsoft content library.

Established core platform users (Administrative Professionals, Civil Service, and Faculty) will find minimal changes navigating in the new 2.0 environment. In general, Percipio is intuitive to navigate, however previous compliance-only users may find the Skillsoft Percipio Quick Start Guide for Learners a helpful resource.

Will my training records be migrated to Percipio 2.0?

As of December 20, 2023, Skillsoft anticipates the migration of historical completions and records to be available in the Percipio 2.0 environment early in Quarter 1, 2024.

Learners in need of training records for required training courses completed prior to December 20, 2023, should connect with their area Learning Administrator, or email hrs.training@wsu.edu. A completions or training status report can be provided. Note: certificates of completion are unavailable at this time.

As of October 10, 2022, historical completions dating from 2018 to August 2022, from the previous learning platform, SkillPort, have been imported to Skillsoft Percipio learner accounts. To access activity and print certificates of completion:

  1. Select your name from the upper right hand corner
  2. Choose Activity from the drop down menu
  3. Select External Learning
    If you do not see updated historical completions in your Percipio Activity, please log out and log back in and/or clear your browser cache.

Note: Because the content was imported from SkillPort (old system), the content shows up as External Learning.

How do I find my required training in Percipio 2.0?

Since all the courses now reside on the same platform within Percipio, finding them is easier than ever! Organization or role specific required training will appear in the assignments section on your Percipio learner dashboard. Learners can also locate assigned courses by clicking on their initials displayed in the upper right corner of the dashboard and selecting ASSIGNMENTS.

In the coming weeks, area Learning Administrators will be assigning role-specific courses and training to learners. To better facilitate tracking of completions for leadership and area Learning Administrators, WSU required annual trainings will be assigned by Learning and Organizational Development on a recurring calendar date, replacing the previously used anniversary date.

Each January, employees will be assigned:

  • Ethics in Public Service, Executive Policy 45
  • Employee Rights and Responsibilities under Executive Policy 15 (formerly Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Misconduct and Prevention)

Each June, employees will be assigned:

  • Cyber Security
  • Hazing Prevention

Within one week of a new Percipio user activation, HRS LOD will assign new employees a journey containing the above required training.

How do I locate WSU created on-demand and instructor-led courses in Percipio 2.0?

  • From your dashboard, search for the course by keyword or partial title. Depending on the size of your browser window, you may see a search BAR, or just the search MAGNIFYING GLASS ICON, which will be located to the right of your initials at the top right of the dashboard.
  • If none of the suggested results are a match, ENTER or click the magnifying glass icon, to initiate the full search based on the information in the search box.

I received an error message when attempting to launch a course, or the course won’t load and shows a buffering screen what should I do?

Below are common causes for course errors and buffering screens:

  • Courses are published to be completed in one sitting. Starting a course and resuming even two hours later will affect progress. The course will not allow you to resume from where you left off, and instead start from the beginning again. Employees should anticipate finishing the course in one sitting
  • Your web browser is outdated. You must use the current version or one version prior
  • Using an unsupported browser like Microsoft Edge. Use Mozilla Firefox , Chrome, or Safari if you are a Mac user
  • Moving through the course too quickly. Clicking through slides too quickly before the content has had time to play through will cause a course to glitch and affect your progress
  • Autoplay is not enabled. Follow Allow autoplay instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay

Please include screenshots whenever you encounter an error so we may troubleshoot the issue accordingly.

How soon can I access my Online Learning Account?

NOTE: Employees should not be completing any orientation or onboarding activities until they are an employee of Washington State University. Further information regarding the Fair Labor Standards Act regulations for training time can be found below.

Only current WSU employees (including student employees) have access:

  • New employees receive access to their online learning account after their hire action is successfully completed within Workday.
  • An enabled Network ID/Password is required to access your Online Learning Account.  For assistance, visit www.wsu.edu/NID or contact the IT Help Desk at (509) 335-4357.
  • New learner accounts are created by bulk upload of employee data from their Workday employee record. If the Workday record is incomplete, a new learner account cannot be created. Please check with your supervisor, HR Partner, or Area HR Assistant/Consultant if you are not able to access your account after one week.
  • If you are still unable to access your account, contact hrstraining@wsu.edu for assistance.
  • Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) an employee does not have to paid for training time only if all 4 of the following criteria are met:
    • Attendance is outside of the employee’s regular working hours;
    • The employee’s attendance is voluntary;
    • The course, lecture, or meeting is not directly related to the employee’s job; and;
    • The employee does not perform any productive work during the training.
  • If any of these 4 criteria are not met, then the training time must be treated as work time. This means the employer must pay for the time and must include the training time in total hours worked when determining overtime pay.
  • If an employer requires that an employee attends the training, the training will not be considered voluntary. In addition, if the employee believes they would be subject to adverse action, such as poor performance ratings or demotion, if they fail to attend the training, it may not be considered voluntary even though the employer claims it is.
  • If the training helps an employee handle her job more effectively, it will be considered directly related to the employee’s job. Alternatively, if the training prepares the employee for a new job or additional skill, it will not be directly related to her job.
