BlackbaudU - Recommend a replacement learning path for Basics of RE?

Question

Until this year, all our new hires were required to complete the "Basics of Raiser's Edge NXT" learning path on the Blackbaud University website. It was ideal for a general overview of all-things RE NXT, which we followed up with either in-house training on our own procedures or supplemental BlackbaudU courses for specific features based on the hire's role. The "Basics of" learning path was taken down and nothing similar has replaced it - at least nothing I can find with the confusing search function! Has anyone else had the same problem and found a good solution? Can you recommend an alternate learning path/set of courses that will meet the same goal as the "Basics of" course for RE NXT?

That's interesting @Lindsay Schuiteman.  There was one.  I've taken it before.  I think at the time, it was being reworked for NXT Query.  I would be really shocked if there's not another Fundamentals Query course.

It's showing up for me, but only the session that I took in March, and there aren't any more upcoming sessions it seems.  I think I still have access to the handout though.

Missing Basics of as well - several new employees who just need overview of RE and then a focus on the two areas they will be working.

The "Basics of" Learning Path was considerably shorter than the Fundamentals courses (an hour each) and there is no Fundamentals course for Query. Basics of… was perfect as a quick start for employees. It's a shame there's nothing out there to replace it.
