Courses

What are courses?

A course in GO+ is where you upload your learning material. A course can consist of one or multiple modules. Normally, a module is a SCORM package (Sharable Content Object Reference Model). A SCROM package is created in an authoring Tool, for example Articulate.

You can upload as many SCORM packages as you want to a course, but one module can only contain on SCORM package. So, if you need more than one piece of content to your course, simply just add more

A course consists of:

• A course shell – Basic information with course title, description, and image
• Course settings – Access (groups) and certificate
• Course Module – Upload of content and Module settings
• Module settings – Module title, description. If the module has to be completed to pass the course, if completing a module gives access to the next module on the course

How to create a course

When you as an administrator are logging into GO+, you automatically land on User view.

To access the administrator view:

• Click on the profile icon on the top right corner
• Select “Switch to admin”
• Go to “Courses” via the left admin menu

There are two steps involved when you are creating a course. First step is to create the course shell (Title, description, image). Second step is to add content, access, and certificate to the course.

How to create a course shell from your admin Dashboard:

1. Click “+ Add new course” button on your admin Dashboard (direct way to create a course shell) or Click “Courses” in the left admin menu.
2. Click “+ New course” button on the top right corner (if you chose to click “+ Add new course” on admin Dashboard, you can skip this step).
3. Add the course name in the first text field
4. Add the course description in the text editor
5. Add an image by clicking on “Change cover image” button
6. Find your image on your PC and upload it to the course
7. Mark the checkbox next to “Active” to publish the course (We recommend that you don’t set the course to active until it’s ready to publish, because an active course means it will be accessible to users)
8. Click “Save” button

Tip: We recommend using a good quality image with high resolution.

How to add a module to your course

When you have created your course shell, the next step is to add a module or modules, i.e. course content, to your course.

Make sure you are in the course you want to add content to. If you can see the course name at the top of the page, you are at the right place.

1. Click “Modules” on the top menu next to Details
2. Click “+Add module” button
3. Add Module title
4. Add Module description
5. Check “Certifying” if applicable. (A Certifying module means that it has to be completed in order to complete the course).
6. Check “Required for next” if applicable. (If the user has to complete this module to get access to the next module on the course).

It is now time to upload your content to your course

1. Click “Upload scorm package” botton
2. Select your SCORM file
3. Click “Open”
4. Click “Save” button

After the platform has uploaded your SCORM file, your module is created and added to the course. Now, you can see an overview of the module details, with the option to edit and delete the created module.

How to give user access to a course

The “Access” tab on your top menu of the course, is where you give your users access to a course or in other term, assign users to a course. Make sure your are on the course you want to add access to.

1. Switch to “Access” tab on the top menu of the course
2. Click “+ Create new Access”
3. Give the Access a title and a brief description
4. Click "Save"

Tip: Expand the groups using the arrows to view and select subroups.

Tip: All your selected groups are listed at the top. If you need to remove a group, click on the “X” next to its name. 

You can preview, edit, and delete an access by clicking the three dots in its rightmost edge in the access list.
