Add trigger warning and option to skip triggering content in Active Shooter course
Request to add a trigger warning and an option to skip triggering content embedded in Skillsoft courses like Active Shooter 2.0
When this course launches the end user is immediately presented with violent scenarios without any means to avoid it. Someone pulling a gun and shooting is the very first thing that comes up. Skillsoft let us know that there was a warning within the description of the course, but we all know not all users read these descriptions.
We created an Active Shooter course in-house that warns the user and provides them with the option to skip the possibly triggering video in the course. Our warning reads like this:
WARNING
Up next is a video from Homeland Security that depicts a realistic active shooter scenario and contains graphic material. Such content may cause intense physiological and psychological symptoms for people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other anxiety disorders.
This video provides a hypothetical situation only and skipping this material will not detract from the education outcomes of this course.

An employee reached out to Employee Relations with a complaint and concern that this was not included on a course. Please consider implementing, especially in today's climate as this can be quite triggering to survivors of these types of events.
