Link evidence to learning

One use of evidence in Totara is to show that learning plan components have been completed or achieved. When users are working through learning plans they can provide and link evidence for their required courses, competencies, objectives and programs.

If the evidence items have already been added to the evidence bank, follow these steps to link evidence to a learning plan component:

1. Navigate to the learning plan.
2. Click the tab for which you want to link evidence.
3. Select the item (e.g. the course or competency) you want to provide evidence for.
4. Click Add linked evidence.
5. Select the evidence item you want to link to the learning item, then click Save.

The learner's manager can then review the evidence provided. If they are satisfied that the evidence provided meets the requirements of the course, competency, objective or program then they can mark the item as complete:

1. Navigate to the user's learning plan and select the tab containing any components with linked evidence.
2. Select the component with linked evidence and scroll down to the Linked Evidence section.
3. Select the evidence item to review the evidence provided.
4. Return to the list of components.
5. For courses for which the learner has provided adequate evidence, click the RPL icon ().
6. Enter the reason you are marking the component as complete in the Recognition of Prior Learning field.
7. Select Save changes.
8. The course will then be set as complete.
