FAQ: Do I Have to Assign Courses in Empath?
Explains why courses should be assigned in Empath and what functionality is lost when they are not.
No, you do not technically have to assign courses. However, Empath is built around an assignment-based model. If a course is not assigned, employees can watch it, but the system will not track progress, store completion data, allow knowledge checks, or provide any evidence that the work was done.
Empath is fundamentally an accountability platform, and accountability requires intentional assignment.
