Deleting learning objectives

The following learning objective types are disabled and cannot be deleted:

• Learning objectives attached to an Approved or Archived competency (deletion would change the competency’s definition).
• Learning objectives shared to you from another org unit.

Deleting elements that are part of a competency structure can cause re-evaluations. If you delete all learning objectives associated with a competency, users who completed the competency will have their results changed to Incomplete. This is because an element is only considered complete if all of its children are complete; elements that have no children cannot be completed.

Delete a learning objective

1. On the Competency Home page, click Delete from the More Actions button.
2. Select the check boxes beside the learning objectives you want to delete.
3. Click Delete Selected.
