Create a course with material and a quiz

A course is what your team reads and answers: a few pieces of material and, if you want, a short quiz. A course without questions is completed by confirming it was read.

Before you start

• You need Make courses, assign them, record completions.
• To use documents as material, switch on Documents in Settings → Apps. Links and texts work without it.

Steps

1. Open Learning → Courses and select New course.
2. Type the Course title and What it covers, then select Create course. The course opens as a draft.
3. Under Material, open Add material:
   • Document: search with Find a document, pick it, give it a Title shown to people (optional), select Add.
   • Link: paste a full web address starting with https://, select Add.
   • Text: write the text (# heading, **bold**, - list work), select Add.
4. Use the up arrow to change the order, or Remove.
5. Under Quiz, open Add a question. Write the Question and pick the Answer type:
   • One of the choices: write 2 to 10 Choices (one per line) and the Correct answer exactly as written (or its number);
   • True or false: write True or False as the Correct answer;
   • A number: write the correct number.
6. Select Save question. Repeat for each question.
7. Under Details, set the Pass mark (%) (80 by default), Refresher every (months) (0 = once is enough; 12 = every year) and Due within (days). Select Save.

Good to know

• Which documents can be material. Only published documents of normal confidentiality. A restricted or personal document is refused, because everyone the course is assigned to would see it. Learners open the document through the course without any Documents right.
• Document states on the course page: Ready, A newer version exists — publish the course again, Not published, Confidential: cannot be course material, Archived or Deleted.
• Limits: at most 30 pieces of material and 30 questions per course.
• Passing means the share of right answers reaches the pass mark; no rounding decides a pass.
• Nothing reaches people until you publish. See Publish a course and its new versions.
• Archive course takes a course out of use; its records stay. Restore course brings it back.
