Managing Course Categories

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.
