Courses

The list of courses: structured learning built from library materials that ends in a certificate. Shows lessons, audience, enrolled learners, certificate validity and whether each is published or a draft.

What this screen is for

A course is a set of lessons assembled from your materials library, worked through in order, that finishes with a certificate. This screen lists them all, showing for each the number of lessons, its audience (everyone, staff only or students only), how many learners are enrolled, whether a certificate is issued and for how long it stays valid, and whether the course is published or still a draft. Search by title and filter by category or status.

When to use it

Use it to see what training exists, to find a course to edit, or to start a new one. Drafts are not visible to learners until published.

What you see on this screen

The table has these columns:

  • Course — its title
  • Audience — who can be enrolled, reading Everyone, Staff only or Students only
  • Lessons — how many lessons it holds
  • Enrolled — how many learners are on it
  • CertificateNone, Never expires, or how many days a certificate stays valid for
  • Status — published or draft
  • an action column, whose Learners link opens the enrolment list for that course

Where nothing exists yet, the page explains what a course is and offers to build the first one.

Filters and actions

Three controls sit above the table: a search box matching on the title; a category select whose first option is All courses; and a status select offering Published and drafts, Published and Drafts. New Course starts a new one, for users allowed to manage courses.

Status values

A course is either Published, meaning learners can see and be enrolled on it, or a Draft, meaning it is invisible to them. Its audience is stored as all, staff or customers, shown as Everyone, Staff only and Students only.
