Setting Up a Course Record
A course record is populated with one or more content records. A basic course consists of one content record for the content module, and one content record for a test.
- To create a course record, from the Courses tab, choose Insert a Course Record.
- Choose the K/S Table that will house the course
- Insert a title for the course
- Enter a Description for the course; this will be visible to learners in the catalog.
- Available in catalog should always be set to Yes
- Set the course passing grade
- You can assign the course to a catalog here. Clicking the button then add. If you do not want the course in a catalog, please skip this step
- Have the course autocomplete should be set to Yes for all online sytle courses
8. Select Yes or No to allow learners to delete this enrollment
9. Select Yes to allow the course to be taken multiple times, (example if it needs to be complete each year, select Yes)
10. Set the Display Course Title Page to No
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Done
Populating Your Course Record with Content Records
Here is how to create a sample course with two content records: one content module and a test.
From the Courses tab, choose Review a Course Outline.
- Select the K/S table that houses the course record, then select your course record from the drop down.
- The course record will appear as below with your newly created course title
- If the content record is not in the system you can click the type of content to be added and follow the steps. If the content has already been loaded into the system, select the Insert Content button:
- Choose the K/S table and content record, then click Return:
- If the content does not show below the course title, click the folder icon to bring the content record into view:
- The content record will appear beneath the course record:
In this example, we are creating a course consisting of one content record, which is a module without a test, and a second test content record (called 'Acknowledgement'). Because the module does not itself contain a test, we do not need to change any settings here to weight the content record or set a pass rate. Both will be done on the test, once inserted. We recommend using the Excel upload feature to create your assessments. Insert your test as you did the module content record.
- Choose your K/S table, the test content record, then set the weighting on the test at 100.
- Click Return.
- Click the title of the Test to edit settings. (our test in the example below is called Acknowledgement)
- Use the sliders to ensure the Course content Weight is set to 100 (If you have multiple tests, then you would set it to 50% on each one)
If you need to ensure the first content is completed before the exam is attempted, select Yes on the setting below
Once completed, click RETURN at the bottom of the screen
- Preview Course to save changes.
- Important Step:
- Always assign yourself the course and test run it from a Learner perspective to make sure it completes properly and moves from your Current Enrollments to your Completed Training area.
