Skillsoft, employee online learning
May 25, 2018
Question 1: Why has the UA system discontinued the subscription to SkillSoft? I was
hoping to take some of the lessons or assign them to staff, but now that option seems
closed to us.
Question 2: How does UAF plan to encourage and support professional development without
resources for continuing education? Recent changes to the UAF training platform have
seen the disappearance of valuable free resources such as SkillSoft and Lynda.com.
Budget constraints have made it difficult for some departments to support travel to
conferences or other educational opportunities. It would be a great benefit to UAF
staff to offer a broad (and free) professional development platform. This may also
serve to increase employee morale.
