Courses & classrooms

The Learning module (LMS) lets you author courses, deliver them to your people or customers and track completion. Authoring lives at /learning/author, management at /learning/manage, and learners work from their home page and track view.

Anatomy of a course

• Course: title, description, cover, category and skills it teaches.
• Modules and lessons: rich text, media and interactive blocks, in order.
• Assessments: quizzes with a pass mark; passing marks the module quizPassed.
• Completion rules: a module counts as completed when the learner finishes it and, where a quiz exists, passes it.

1. 1Open Learning > Author and choose New course.
2. 2Add modules; inside each, add lessons using text, video, files and interaction blocks.
3. 3Add a quiz where you need proof of understanding and set the pass mark.
4. 4Optionally start from a template, or use Cortex to draft lessons and questions, then edit them.
5. 5Preview as a learner, then publish.
