This help guide will explain how to create eLearning elements as part of the course building process in eAssessor Pro.
Please Note
Course Builder on eAssessor Pro is available at request with an additional charge. Please contact your Regional Sales Director for more information.
To begin, you will need System Admin or Course Author role permissions on your account. These can be granted by existing System Admin users. Log in
1. In the left-hand sidebar, go to Admin > Courses.
2. This will show all courses currently active on your platform. Click Units beside the course you would like to add activities to. The Filter Options on the right-hand side of the page allow you to search by course name.
3. Click the dropdown arrow beside the title of the unit you would like to add an activity to, then click 'add new activity here'.
4. A list of options will then appear. Click Online Learning Content.
5. Enter a name, description for your learning content. The learner will see the name on their course page, whilst the description will show at the top of the eLearning window as below in the learner view. The existing activity option is available to add the same activity to multiple courses.
Please note
Each individual course id will need published if changes are made to the acitivity in the future to update each course.
If Yes is selected for Mandatory, the learner is required to complete all mandatory elements before the activity will move to a finished status and the overall progress of the course will show as incomplete. If No is selected for Mandatory, the learner is not required to access or complete any elements, and this activity does not affect the overall progress of the course as it's considered as optional.
Once saved, if you edit the activity, you get additional options below.
If Yes is selected for Table of Contents, this provides the learner with a side menu they can select and navigate through the course to different pages.
If yes is selected for Allow download for PDF, the learner is provided with the option to download a pdf version of the content on their My Course(s) page.
Please note
Videos will be replaced with message saying the video is not available in the printed version of this course.
Any interactive activities such as matching exercises, assessment/knowledge checks will be included but will just display as plain text/images that are no longer clickable.
Links added using the insert link option will remain clickable.
