Audio/Video playback is skipping or laggy
This is generally due to a poor internet connection. For the best experience, avoid downloading other files or checking e-mail while taking a course, as other internet-related apps can interrupt the stream of data or cause an erratic experience.
If the issue persists, contact your local system administrator or desktop support for further assistance.
No audio
Not all courses are accompanied by audio narration, music, and sound effects. Ask your training manager if the course does indeed contain audio. If it does, follow these steps to troubleshoot:
Ensure your speakers or headphones are plugged securely into the correct jack on your device and are powered on (if applicable)
Ensure the volume level is turned up on your device
Launch a familiar website or application with audio to test audio output and the volume level
If the issue persists, contact your local system administrator or desktop support for further assistance.
Re-viewing/Resuming your course
Resume an interrupted course or re-view a completed course by following the same process used to initially login to the learning management system (LMS).
The course is frozen or stuck
This issue can occur when Internet Explorer’s (IE’s) “Compatibility View” feature is enabled. "Compatibility View" is not supported. This feature forces modern, supported IE versions to use rendering engines from older, unsupported versions of IE and can result in functionality issues, visual degradation, and an overall poorer user experience on our products.
How to update Compatibility View Settings:
If the menu bar is not displaying, hit the ALT key while in Internet Explorer to pull it up. Then choose Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Make sure to uncheck "Display all websites in Compatibility View" (it’s the bottom item)
If your issue persists, contact your local system administrator or support for further assistance with Compatibility View.
Can't find the course window (After reading Policy/Course Materials)
As you click on the Policy/Code button in the course, the course gets pushed behind that window – don’t worry, it's still there.
You can close or minimize the policy and the course should appear for you. Please do not launch the course again, as it's still active. Navigate back to the (minimized) course window and you'll be able to move on.
Error messages in the course
The course has most likely timed out for security reasons. Please check your network configuration and try again.
Error messages such as "a system error has occurred" or "error with course communication" usually mean that your computer has temporarily lost communication with the True Office Learning servers. This can occur when:
Multiple applications and browser windows are open (because other applications may interrupt the flow of data streaming from True Office Learning)
The internet connection is interrupted
Connection is attempted during a system upgrade
To resolve the issue:
Close all browser windows and system applications
Attempt to connect to the system again
If you continue to experience connectivity issues, try to access the system via a hardwired (versus a wireless) connection. If the error message persists, clear your browser cache or reboot your system.
Flash Player errors
Please click here to ensure that your Flash player is installed and is current.
Network Connection error
Unfortunately, an error like this relates to your internet connection, not the course itself. However, there are a few things you can try to resolve this issue. Usually by opening the training in a completely different browser (if you are using IE try switching to Firefox), you'll correct the problem.
Additional actions to try:
Close any browser windows not related to the course
Close your email client
Close any applications that may be using a lot of bandwidth
If you are using a VPN or Citrix and have the option to complete the course using a direct connection to the internet, do so
Clear your browser’s cache (see below) and load the course again
Course won't load/advance
Please try opening the training in a completely different browser (if you're using Internet Explorer, for example, try Mozilla Firefox instead). If that doesn't work, or isn't an option, please clear your browser's cache.
To reset your browser’s cache (browser specific):
Google Chrome
