Information

Once you have created a course, you can enter additional information. Some of this information is shown on the learning platform as the course description.

For a course to be able to appear on the learning platform, the Settings tab has to be edited.

Method

1. Select the course that you want to edit.

Optional: If the content of the course is shown, click Course.

2. Change or complete the fields on the Course data, Contents, Requirements, and Settings tabs as required.

'Course data' tab

Status: You can change the status of the course via the drop-down menu.

• D - Draft phase: New courses automatically have this status. Do not change this status as long as you do not want the course to be visible on the learning platform.
• T - Preview: Use this status if a course is still being edited, but you want to announce it on the learning platform. Courses with this status cannot be booked or completed yet. You can use the Course description field to configure an announcement text.
• P - Released: Use this status so that a course can be booked and/or completed on the learning platform.

Information: For the course to be visible on the learning platform, you also have to edit the visibility in the Settings.

Instructor: In the course form, enter an instructor if this person is carrying out all sessions. Otherwise, configure the instructor in the individual sessions. If you enter an instructor for the course, they are given access to the course and can create course materials and course contents.

Certificate template: If you configure a certificate template here, participants receive a certificate after completing the course. With e-learning courses, the certificates are created automatically once the course is completed. For courses with sessions, the certificates are created when the session has been closed with the Course > Close session function.

Release date: If you enter a release date here, the status of the course automatically changes to P - Released on this date.

Space: If you use ELO Knowledge in addition to ELO Learning, you can link a course to a space here. This allows participants to discuss technical topics outside of the course. On the learning platform, the link Discussion on the topic is created and links to the associated space.

'Contents' tab

Summary: The text appears on the learning platform on the start page for the course.

'Requirements' tab

Required courses: If you select courses here, participants can only begin the course if they have already completed the required courses. Until then, the button to enroll in the course is locked.

'Settings' tab

Visibility: With these options, you can control where the courses are shown on the learning platform.

• Course can be found in the course catalog: The course is released on the learning platform on the Course catalog tab. With this option, participants can book courses themselves via the course catalog. By checking this box, you can also determine whether a course that is part of a learning path also appears as a separate course in the course catalog.
• Course is shown under "My courses": The course appears on the My courses tab on the learning platform for enrolled users. With this option, participants can be assigned courses they are unable to book themselves via the course catalog. Once a course administrator has enrolled participants using the Course > Enroll participants function, the course is visible to the participants. Visibility on the My courses tab is also a quick way to access enrolled or started courses and to get an overview of completed courses.

Information: If you check the Course can be found in the course catalog box in the form for a learning path, it is shown under Learning paths, and not in the course catalog.

Information: If you check the Course can be found in the course catalog box in the form for a video, it is shown under Media library, and not in the course catalog.

Please note: With Visibility, you can control the general visibility of a course on the learning platform. You also have to change the status of the course on the Course data tab.

Enrollment: As soon as you check the Show confirmation dialog box on enrollment box, a text field appears. When a participant enrolls in a course, a dialog box appears with the text entered to this field. When going straight to the learning contents, this dialog box does not appear.
