Lessons/Courses management
From EFrontWiki
The lessons/course management is done through the Administration's interface. It involves the management of lessons, the logical organisation of lessons to categories and the bundling of several lessons as a course. It also involves the assignments of users to lessons and courses.
[edit] Working with lessons
Assume that we want to build a new lesson.
 Creating a new lesson |
We first need to log-in as an Administrator, and use the Lessons function. We type the lesson's title, we define its language, we place it under a specific category, we set its price and we also have to define whether the lesson is going to be directly available or it is going to be a part of a course.
 Adding Users to Lesson |
The second thing we have to do is to assign users and professors to our new lesson. This is accomplished from the administrator as well. Additional users can be assigned to the lesson from the professor interface later.
When we create a new lesson we can assign new users to it immediately. For our example, immediately after saving the lesson we see the tab with the "Lesson users". We just need to select the users we want to enroll to the lesson and their status will be updated.
[edit] Working with courses
Courses bundle lessons that belong to a concrete study field as one entity. The course professor can organize in many ways how and when students will see each individual lesson inside the course, the exact order of lessons inside the course, a certification upon course completion etc. In order to assign a lesson to a course the administrator must make a lesson available exclusively through courses (usually, during the time the lesson is created).
 Defining that a lesson is assigned to a course |
- Creating a course: The administrator sets the course name and other necessary information and then assigns lessons and users to it.
 Creating a course |
Next to the course name we can see the course's functions. Here is an example of a course:
 A course |
- Course Information:Using this function, the professor can describe the main characteristics of the course such as its general description, objectives, assessment etc.
 Course Information |
- Course Order:This option offers the ability to modify the order of lessons inside the course.
 Changing lessons' order |
- Scheduling:Through this operation the professor can restrict access to the lesson for a specific period of time.
 Course Schedule |
- Course rules: Through course rules the professor sets the lesson's study order. For example the professor can define that the student must complete Lesson 1 to proceed to Lesson 2 etc.
 Course rules |
- Course Certificates: When a student has completed a course the professor can give him a certification. A certification can be issued manually or automatically.
