The main parts composing this course creation form are:

Title:

The title of the course

Body:

The description of the course, that will be displayed on its home page. Opigno offers the CKEditor that offers nice WYSIWYG capabilities

Group visibility:

You can choose to have either public, private, or semi-public course.

• Public course will be displayed in the "Training catalogue" with worldwide visibility (for example for demo courses).
• Semi-public courses will only be displayed to authenticated users.
• Private courses are not displayed inside the training catalogue and can be accessed only after being subscribed by a course manager or a platform administrator. Note that for semi-public courses you are offered two additional options, to define if the class requires a validation (if not users will be able to auto-register) and if they have to be hidden from the course catalogue.

Course category:

You can select here a category for this course, that will be used for the catalogue. Categories are a taxonomy, please refer to the dedicated section of this document for more details ("Training catalogue" and categories).

Course tools:

The tools activated for this course. They can be separately defined for each course.

Lessons required for the course validation:

This allows to define which lesson(s) will be mandatory for the validation of the course. A lesson can be:

• either theoretical (in this case you can add it in this section to make sure the student has opened the lesson and browsed into each slide before he validates the course)
• or a quiz to assess the student's knowledge (in this case the minimum score to obtain for this quiz will be defined in the lesson - please refer to the dedicated part of this document for more details: Tool "Lesson")
• or an in-house lesson (please refer to the dedicated section of our manual - Tool "In house trainings") if the student must attend one (or many of them) in order to validate the course
• or a virtual classroom (live meeting, please refer to the dedicated section of our manual - Tool "Live meetings") if the student must attend one (or many of them) in order to validate the course
  This field has an autocomplete functionality, which means that the names of matching lessons will be suggested according to the first letters you have entered. You can add many lessons required for the course validation. To do so, click on the "+" button to add more fields. Each of these lessons will have to be successful in order to validate the course.

Certificate settings:

In this part you can define if the course will automatic award certificates to the successful students (a student is considered successful to the course if he his successful to the lessons required for the course validation - see above).

To do that, you will need to have previously created a certificate template (see the dedicated part in this document for more details ; Certificates). Then, click on "Manual" to open the section and select the certificate template you have created. You can also use the pre-defined Opigno templates.

Required course:

You can define here one or more courses where the student has to be successful before he can start this course.

Course image:

The main picture for the course, that will be displayed in the training catalogue and in the list of your trainings.
