Assign Courses
- Log in to your account. Go to “Unassigned Courses and Study Aids.”
- Be ready with the email address, first name and last name of the person you want to assign the course to.
- Enter the information and assign. The learner automatically receives an email with a redeem code.

Monitor Progress
- Log in to your account. Go to “Assigned Courses and Study Aids.”
- You can monitor progress for each learner! Track the learners start date, completion date, pre-assessment score, and post-assessment score of the most recent attempt (where applicable),
You can even send emails to learners directly through your account. Send reminders or a note of encouragement as you track and monitor progress.
Q: When I have assigned someone a course, how will they know?
A: When you assign a course from the DALE Foundation website, the learner will receive an email with the subject line: “You have been assigned a course at the DALE Foundation.” The email will contain instructions for redeeming the course including a redemption code. Once the learner redeems and begins the course, you will be able to track his/her status in the Assigned Courses & Study Aids Progress Snapshot area in the My Account section of www.dalefoundation.org. Please be sure your assignee has checked his/her spam folder as sometimes messages arrive there.

Q: I clicked the “Launch Course” button and accepted the license agreement, but my course hasn’t opened. I clicked the “Click here if the course did not open in a new window” link, but my course still won’t open. Why?
A: In order to launch your e-learning course, your browser’s pop-up blocker must be disabled. Here’s how to turn off your pop-up blocker:
- Internet Explorer (Windows):
Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Turn Off Pop-up Blocker
- Firefox:
Firefox button (top-left) > Options > Options > Uncheck “Block pop-up windows” box
- Safari (Mac):
Safari > Preferences > Security > Uncheck “Block pop-up windows” box
- Google Chrome:
Click the wrench icon on browser toolbar > Options > Under the Hood > Content Settings in “Privacy” section > “Pop-up” section, select “Allow all sites to show pop-ups”

Q: When I click the “Print Certificate” button, I see a blank webpage when the new window opens. Where can I find my certificate?
A: All certificates are PDF documents. Check for updates from Adobe for your Adobe Reader software. More than likely, you are seeing a “blank” screen because your Acrobat Reader software is out-of-date. Download the latest version of Adobe Reader.
Q: I reset my password with the Forgot Password function. Why haven’t I received my new password?
A: The automatically generated password is sent from donotreply@dalefoundation.org and sometimes caught by your email client’s spam filter. If you do not receive an email in your inbox containing your reset password, check your spam/junk folders. If you still believe you haven’t received your reset password, please contact Ashley Porter at the DALE Foundation at aporter@dalefoundation.org or by phone at 877-510-3253, ext. 221.
Q: I was assigned a course by my employer/educator. Why haven’t I gotten the email with my redeem code?
A: Course assignment notifications are sent from your employer/educator’s email account, so make sure to communicate with them and ensure emails from them aren’t sent to your spam/junk folder. If you still believe you haven’t received your assignment notification/redeem code, please contact Ashley Porter at the DALE Foundation at aporter@dalefoundation.org or by phone at 877-510-3253, ext. 221.
Q: Why doesn’t my redeem code work?
A: There are two situations when your redeem code may not work: the 7-day redeeming period has expired or the code has already been redeemed. Contact the person who assigned you the course(s) so they can reassign it once more.
