Franklin Covey’s Change: How to Turn Uncertainty Into Opportunity (for Individual Contributors)

When we recognize that change follows a predictable pattern, we can learn to manage our reactions and understand how to navigate change, both functionally and emotionally.

Focus on Your Talents with CliftonStrengths

Do you ever wonder why you make deliberate choices, do what you do, and are better at doing some things than others? The reason is talent; a naturally recurring pattern of thought, feeling, or behavior that influences choices and directs actions. Through your talents you tap into your greatest potential for success, and the outcome is strength. During this session you will explore your natural talents through the CliftonStrengths assessment which introduces your dominant themes, identifies top strengths, and offers suggestions on how to leverage them.

[U C Accessibility Project, Accessibility, U D L, and Disability Justice]<https://cee.ucdavis.edu/a11y>

UC Accessibility (A11Y) Project

This pilot UC Online-funded grant project aims to cultivate a collaborative learning community around accessibility, disability justice, and Universal Design for Learning through asynchronous Canvas modules, synchronous Zoom meetings, and monthly newsletters. We hope to establish a robust, UC-wide anti-ableist task force and helpful resources for instructors, students, and staff in the University of California system.

What does our name mean? A11Y is shorthand used in tech circles for the word accessibility, as there are 11 letters between the A and Y. But A11Y also resembles the word ally, which we strive to be through our commitment to inclusion and accessibility.

The Vitruvian Man stick figure with arms outstretched is the universal symbol for accessibility.

FAQ<https://ucrlearning.ucr.edu/faq#why-am-i-being-prompted-to-res>: Why am I being prompted to Restart a course?

An important reminder for systemwide compliance

Go ahead and select Restart! This is expected behavior and is simply a warning. It will not cause any problems with your training records or prevent you from completing the activity.

If you have previously completed an online activity, when restarting it, the system will remind you and ask you to confirm you want to restart the activity. When restarting/retaking an activity, the system will add a new attempt in addition to any previous completions to your records.

NOTE: The University of California regularly requires employees and certain contingent workers to retake certain systemwide compliance courses, such as the annual cyber security training. Retraining requirements may be based on UC policies as well as state or federal laws.

[Example of system Restart warning message.]

NEW! Team Compliance Dashboards for Managers & Learning Coordinators

For UC Learning Center users in a manager<https://ucrlearning.ucr.edu/access-roles#manager> or learning coordinator<https://ucrlearning.ucr.edu/access-roles#learning-coordinator>* role, you now have access to the new Team Compliance Dashboards. Once logged into the UC Learning Center, go to the Self > Dashboards > Team Compliance Dashboard menu (shown below) and then select from the following reports:

·    Systemwide Required Training – Percentage by Status Crosstab

·    Systemwide Required Training – Percentage by Status Bar Chart

·    Systemwide Required Training – Nearing Due or Expiration Date

·    Systemwide Required Training – Overdue or Expired

·    All Required Training – Nearing Due or Expiration Date

·    All Required Training – Systemwide Required Training – Overdue or Expired

The crosstab and bar chart reports offer a quick visualization of your team or organization’s compliance metrics with assigned systemwide training. The nearing due or expiration date and overdue or expired reports will provide a detailed list of your direct reports or viewable users who are due to complete or retake assigned trainings – choose from either strictly the systemwide training report or all required training reports.

NOTE:

·    Data is refreshed nightly at ~4-5am. Training completions from the current day will display tomorrow.

·    At this time, reports in this dashboard can only be exported in a printable format. Click the printer icon to open the report in a new window where you can print it or save as PDF based on your browser settings.

·    *Similar to the Manager Dashboard, by default, only data for direct reports will be displayed. To include all the viewable users you have access to, click the cog icon [Screenshot from the UC Learning Center showing the Self menu navigation to the Team Compliance Dashboards.]  and under the Direct Report (of logged in user) filter select both the True and False options.
