Online Learning Module

The Online Learning Module gives you the ability to offer educational courses to your membership that can be completed at the member’s convenience.   A course can consist material created by you in the form of:

  • Videos
  • Informational web pages (slides)
  • Tests

As members complete their work, they will know immediately how well they have performed on the tests.

Courses can be created by using the Online Learning option in the admin panel under Member Area Functions.   

Steps to Creating a Course

Inside the Online Learning Admin:

  • Click the link to Add a new course
  • Give your course a name and description.  This information will appear for the member as they are selecting the courses they are interested in.  (note: leave the check box, Publish Course, unchecked until you are ready for members to begin taking your course)
  • Add course elements:
    1. Videos: we currently support AVI, MP4, MPG, and WMV video file formats
    2. Slides: these are web pages that you embed in the course that provide content for your coursework.  This content can be in the form of text and images.
    3. Tests: multiple choice questions.  Members will know almost immediately which questions were answered correctly and which questions were not.  You have the option of providing information for incorrect answers that help explain why that answer is incorrect.  
  • Place your course elements in the correct order.  The admin gives you the ability to reorder your course elements.
  • Once you have completed setting up your course, return to the Online Learning Course Admin and find your new course under Pending and click on the ‘edit’ icon.  Then, check the Publish Course check box and click on Continue.
