How To Create A Multi Module Course

• A Course can consists of any number of Learning Components, including Courses.
  
• Any number of resources - serving as supplementary content - can be attached to Courses or any Learning Component.
• In the case of Instructor Led Training Component, any Resource attached to the ILT component, are made available to Event enrollees of that ILT.
  
• Resources can also be individually attached to any specific class event, to be made available only for students of that event.

In this tutorial, we look into the above full-fledged bundled Course example that contains all types of Learning Components and Resources. This example course is mainly divided into five parts or modules:

• An online eLearning covering basic usage - Module 1
• A downloadable PDF slide covering intermediate usage - Module 2
• An Instructor led course covering advanced usage - Module 3
• An Assessment for students to self-evaluate - Module 4
• An end of course survey to students to provide feedback

In addition, the following Resources are also added:

• A VM Resource attached to main Course - to provide students an environment to test and use throughout the course
• A downloadable Digital Resource containing PDF slides - attached to Module 2
• A downloadable Digital Resource containing PDF slides - attached to Module 3 to be used during the instructor led class
• A Link Resource of a SurveyMonkey quiz link - attached to Module 4
• A Link Resource of a SurveyMonkey quiz link - attached to End of Course Survey

1. Create an eLearning Component under Admin > Catalog > Learning Components > eLearning > New

2. Fill in the following information in particular and save:

   Field
   Status	Choose 'Active Part' if this component is intended to be part of a bundled Course and only the course is to be shown on the website
   Name	Example: Module 1 - Windows Basic Usage
   Primary Category	Link to an existing Knowledge Category
   Price	Self-explanatory
   Visibility	Choose 'Hidden' if this component is intended to be part of a bundled Course and only the course is to be shown on the website.

3. Setup a SCORM package with one of following methods:
   

   Method	Description
   Upload SCORM Package	A SCORM package is a content in an archive format (zip file) that can be created with authoring software tools such as Adobe® Captivate® 7
   Create SCORM Package from Youtube Video	Allows for a YouTube video to be added to the eLearning Component as a SCORM package.

   This step is mandatory - otherwise this eLearning component cannot be enrolled into or purchased.

1. Create an Content Component under Admin > Catalog > Learning Components > Content > New

2. Fill in the following information in particular:
