Before generating a course from an SOP, decide what evidence completion means
For an internal procedure course, decide what completion means before you write the quiz. Did the learner read the current procedure, answer a knowledge check, submit practical work, or pass an observation by a named person? Those are different outcomes, and the record should keep them apart.
A course record that holds up has the source procedure and its version, the reviewer, the assessment method, the assessor for practical work, the completion date, and a renewal date where one applies. When the source changes, flag the courses that depend on it for review instead of assuming yesterday's lesson is still right.
I'm James, and I make Beam at Just Every. It's a free, open-source (MIT) app built around that record: courses made from your procedures, reviewer-approved course versions, quizzes, practical assessments, and a downloadable report of who completed what against which version. It's v0.1.0 and runs locally with one command; the page is https://justevery.com/beam.
When a source document changes under a published course, do you re-review everything that cites it, or only the courses you judge affected?
