Professional Version Access is required.
Editing courses is a straightforward, allowing administrators to modify course content, adjust settings, and update details as needed. Through the user-friendly interface, administrators can efficiently refine course structures, ensuring relevance and effectiveness in delivering educational content.
1. Editing Courses
Important: If you edit a course that was created by another administrator in your organisation who has a different default language against their profile, then this can cause the language of the course to change as well. Therefore, where possible, you should only edit courses that you have created yourself.
The options to edit your course will become available after creating the course, or you can edit any course by clicking the icon from the Courses screen.
There are several options displayed across the tabs to see and edit the course:
- Dashboard
- Properties
- Users
- Reports
- Branches
- Skills
- Jobs
Note: These tabs can be downloaded as an Excel-compatible CSV file by clicking the () icon.
Tab | Description |
---|---|
Dashboard Tab | Displays key information about the course and allows you to add content and set the course rules (such as whether learners must complete all units, a specific unit, and/or complete all tests in the course). |
Properties Tab |
Contains the information entered when the course was created (see Adding a course). |
Users Tab | Displays a list of all users in your branch (including Administrators and Instructors) and their registration date. You can enroll individual learners onto the course from this screen and see the status of learners currently enrolled (such as course completion date, score, progress). |
Reports Tab | Displays information as that in the Users tab. |
Branches Tab | Allows you to assign the course to your organisation's sub-branches. |
Jobs Tab |
Allows you to assign the course to users with a specific job. |
Note: The Skills functionality available in the Skills tab is currently not supported.
