Avendoo® online documentation

Courses

The course is the basic element in Avendoo®. The course contains the learning path, which can be composed of individual learning objects, for example knowledge tests, instructional materials or events. Following you can edit and release completed courses via the course activation.

In the overview (Learning content → Courses) you see all already created courses, listed by title, translation area, preview, usage, run management, owner, created, change date, note, version, valid until, valid from, external reference, external reference type and user-defined fields. If you want to add or remove columns or want to edit the order of columns, click via right click on the table header and choose Edit display of columns and order.
You see the path (location of storage) of the corresponding course in the column Usage. If it’s the path of UGC (User Generated Content) courses you see the path of the user or team leader regarding the category tree. You can switch to the course overview of the path if you make a left click on the path and choose Go to path.  To open the corresponding course activation choose Open course activation. To open the corresponding participant management of the course activation choose Open participant management. To open the corresponding runs choose Open runs.

To show the column Run management and to define runs in the course cgiise first Edit display of columns and order and then Run management+. If you click on the icon Run management in the line of the favored course the dialog window Runs with the buttons Create run, Edit run, Delete run and Copy run opens. Furthermore you got a list with already created runs and the information if they got an exclusive usage by the course activation.
More information about runs you find here.


3 examples for the overall usage of runs

  1. You want to use the exclusively used run “Basic training” later on cross-over client for the course activations in the customer client and the training client. There are already seven participants for the course activation “Mycology” and five participants for the course activation “Arboriculture” of the run “Basic training” registered.
  2. Also you want to use the exclusively used run “Training for advanced learners” later on cross-over client for the course activations in the customer client and in the training client. There no registrations for the corresponding course activations “Vegetarian pumpkin recipes” and “Vegan christmas cookies”.
  3. Furthermore you need the run “Training for experts” cross-over client for the courses “Vegan recipes” and “Vegetarian recipes” of which  the course activations are created in the customer client and the training client.

What are the next steps?

  1. You cannot use the run “Basic training” anymore cross-over client because there are already registrations for the course activations “Mycology” and “Arboriculture”.
  2. You switch to the tab Runs via the Participant mangement of the course activation “Vegetarian pumpkin recipes” and “Vegan christmas cookies” and set a check mark in front of the run “Training for advanced learners” in the list. You click on the button Edit run and switch to the tab Parameters. You deactivate the check mark under Exclusive usage.
  3. To define the run “Training for experts” cross-over client you click first on the Run icon in the column Run management of the course “Vegan recipes”. The Run wizard opens. You enter on the tab Master data “Training for experts” as title and a teaser like “How to get an expert”. Then you create the favored event dates for this run on the tab Event date selection. Finally, you save the data. Then you switch to the Course activation wizard of the course activation “Vegan recipes” and to the tab Registration management. You can define the visibility of the runs in course activations under the option Runs in the course activation. Select All runs. By this options also the exclusive runs of the course activation are shown. Now you open the participant management of the course activation “Vegan christimas cookies” and switch to the tab Runs. Then you click on the button Add run and select the run “Training for experts” and confirm your selection. Finally, you save the data.
    Furthermore it’s possible that you create non-exclusive runs if you own the organizational right Create common runs in the participant management.

If you click on the title you get to the corresponding course wizard. Via the national flag you get to the preview for the user. And in the next column you see if the course is in use and who has created the course.

On the left side you can filter via the following criteria: title, language, include subcategories, external reference, external reference type and user-defined fields.

There are the mass processing functions Copy, MoveDelete, Change owner and Export for courses. More information about these functions you find under Courses: Mass processing functions.

The following functions are available via the context menu of the appropriate course title. In the context menu you find also the object permissions which are used on user content.

To create a new course, choose Learning content → Courses → New course. The Course wizard opens.

The external reference represents a reference value like ID, sequence number or name and the external reference type describes the reference and how the reference value is to understand. This is especially important, if there are different sources or kinds of reference types, because they can use the same reference values.

Examples:

  • reference type SAP customer number with the external reference 100234
  • reference type SAP user ID with the external reference 000004

FAQ

Prerequisite
You have created an event and a feedback, which is created with feedback questions.

  1. Create a new course and drag via drag and drop the learning objects event (with selection of the already created event), hurdle (for the participant only to fill out the feedback after a completed event) and feedback (with selection of the already created feedback) on the learnpath area on the tab Course contents.
    Note

    If you don’t insert a hurdle, the feedback will be considered as normal feedback although there is a link. Futhermore there will be no reference to the event dates on reports. Also there would be problems of the multiple registration of multiple event date groups in the event.

  2. Click the pencil of the feedback. On the right side besides the learnpath area a dialog window opens with General Properties and Advanced Properties.
  3. Select in the Advanced Properties the option Event link. Change the entry in the dropdown list from No dependency to the suggested event.
  4. Click on the button Save.
  5. If you edit the attendance list in the Event manager of the appropriate event, this means you have set the check mark Present the default Passed is taken. If applicable you can change it to Not attempted or Failed. You select optionally in the next column Arrived punctually, Arrived late or Left too early.
  6. Click the button Save attendance list. The dialog window Save changes opens. If you want that the participants receive no feedback e-mail, click the button Save without feedback e-mail. If the participants should receive a feedback e-mail, click the button Save with feedback e-mail.
  7. As the attendance list is saved, the event gets the status Completed and Avendoo® sends an e-mail with a link of the appropriate feedback for each participant. If there is no e-mail sent, the particpants can select the feedback via the appropriate button on the learning path.
  8. You can show the reports Dynamic feedback report on raw data and Feedback raw data report. Note that, if you have created a follow-up date to the event date group after recording attendance, the event, which is the newest in the past, will be taken for evaluation.
