This free eLearning course hosted by CapacityPlus’s HRH Global Resource Center provides instructions on how to set up and manage human resources data in iHRIS Manage, which supports ministries of health and other service delivery organizations to track, manage, deploy, and map their health workforces. Information on managing employee and job applicant data, as well as training data, is included. Each module is designed to be used separately, as an online help guide, to teach human resources staff and hiring managers how to use the software. The modules use audio as well as visual teaching aids to reduce any potential learning barriers. The course was developed using the open source learning platform Moodle so that it can be easily exported and modified for use in different countries. For example, a module teaching specific customizations for that country can easily be created and added to the full course. Also see the related course, iHRIS Administrator: Level I.
