A quick explanation of the key terms used across the Skillsive panel. Keep this glossary handy when you are getting started with the platform.
Core concepts
Course — a whole section devoted to one topic (e.g. Escape from a burning building, Forklift trucks). A course is made up of several lessons combined into one training.
Lesson — a single self-contained VR experience — a "game" the trainee launches and completes from start to finish in one run. Several lessons make up a course.
Training lesson — a preparatory lesson that teaches and introduces the topic to build knowledge before the assessment part.
Assessment lesson — an exam-style lesson where the trainee must make the right decisions based on the knowledge from the training lessons.
Skill — an ability a course develops or tests — lets you track what a given lesson teaches.
Custom course — a course your organization builds from existing lessons — you decide what trainees go through and in what order.
Trainee — a person who takes courses on the VR goggles. The system records who completed which course.
Organization member — a person with an account in the Skillsive panel (your team). Can have different permissions: manage trainees, create custom courses, sign in VR devices, and more.

Completion — a record that a given trainee finished a specific lesson or course, together with the result.
