Managing Course Categories
- Luc Richard
The system comes installed with course categories. By default, they are:
Online. This category is meant to include asynchronous (self-paced) courses that do not require an instructor. They generally include videos, reading material and asynchronous assignments, but no face-to-face nor video conferencing activities.
Classroom. This category is meant to include synchronous (instructor-led) courses. They generally include a face-to-face activity and in some cases, video conferencing.
Blended. This category is meant to include blended courses - a term used for courses that contain both synchronous and asynchronous learning activities.
Templates. This category is meant to include templates that can be used by an administrator to create new courses. Rather than creating a course from scratch each time, the administrator can duplicate a template, which results in a pre-configured set of activities and resources in the course.
As a System Administrator or Course Creator, you can create, archive, delete, modify, move, and sort these categories. You can also create sub-categories.
