Once your account is set up, you will see the 636 GSNorCal Online Learning course in your Dashboard/Home. This course will provide information on current course offerings, resources, and links to our current Volunteer Learning Portal for volunteer role training. |
How do I find available learning paths/courses? |
To find learning paths and courses, you will need to browse in the Content Library, the tab is on the left side of your menu. Use the search bar at the very top to enter keywords. You can narrow your search by selecting the content type (course or learning path) and choosing the desired topics. Once you find your desired learning path/course, click on it to see the modules you will need to take. Once you click into one module, you will be “enrolled” in the learning path/course and it will now show up on your Dashboard/Home. |
Why don’t I see a learning/path course that I have enrolled in on my Dashboard/Home? |
If you are not seeing a learning path/course that you should have, check under the other tabs on your dashboard; In Progress, Overdue, Not Started, and Completed. If you are still not seeing your courses you may have a duplicate account. Email onlinelearning@gsnorcal.orgfor help. |
What are those 3-digit numbers in the learning path/course title? |
gsLearn is an online learning management system that Girl Scout councils use nationwide. Those numbers differentiate which Council provided the content. Girl Scouts of Northern California’s council code is 636. Some learning paths/courses are provided by GSUSA, and are typically indicated with GSUSA in the title. |
What if I have completed the entire course/learning path, but my completion was not tracked, what should I do? |
If you completed a module, course, or learning path and your completion was not properly tracked, please contact us at onlinelearning@gsnorcal.org. Include the name of the module, course, or learning path and what device/browser you are using. |
I am having trouble in gsLearn with modules loading or a module getting stuck, what should I do? |
