After successful self-registration or authentication as user by OpenID Connect or login as user by Single Sign-On with SAML2 you get to the Learning place.
Additionally, you see Remote content activations with content connector LTI (Lecturio or Masterplan for example) on your learning place. Note that you see these remote content activations only, if you’ve opened and edited them in the catalog before.
All mandatory, optional and finished learning units and also the learning units you’ve liked (bookmarks) and your content are shown on five tabs at your learning place. You get the preview image displayed, which the author has uploaded in the Course activation wizard under Options -> Preview. Under My event dates you see, which event dates are next. Here you see the title of the event or the course, the date, the time and the time zone of the event location. The event dates are listed one below the other.
The rubric My event dates is shown on the tabs Required, Optional, Finished and Bookmarks. You see up to four event dates.

You add new learning units via the catalog or the search. Furthermore you can fold and expand the filter results at “My learning place” plus you can cancel the registration of the appropriate registered learning unit.
Frontend users can show the classification and the classification values of the course activations via CSS on the Start page and at the learning place. Therefore the author has added the variables “CourseClassificationAndValues” and/or “CourseClassificationValues” on the appropriate course page. Further information about variables you find under courses.
What are learning units?
Learning units in Avendoo® stand for tools of knowledge transfer. You can differ four learning formats in Avendoo®, which are explained below.
A training plan shows you a path for different courses, that means a certain number of defined courses should be processed in order and should be completed. But you can choose between multiple paths in a training plan and thus you can complete the whole training plan in several ways.
Events
Events are for example face-to-face sessions, which are planned via Avendoo®. They are characterized by interaction between people. They can represent a meeting on location for example, also a conference call or an internet conference. Under Event details you find information about date, location, address, description, room, event speaker, free slots, price, group, business e-mail address and business phone number.
E-learning
Learning units of the type e-learning contain only objects, which you can process directly in the system.
Blended learning
Learning units of the type blended learning are a combination of e-learnings and events.

Event dates
The prerequisites, this means which settings the autor has to do, you find under Settings in the author backend for UGC event dates.
Step-by-step procedure
Step 1
There are two ways to use the UGC wizard for event dates:
- Depending which event date template the author has chosen you get the corresponding entry mask.
- If you’re speaker in a course and user team leader, you can use this UGC wizard also post-maintaining certifications for activated event dates since Avendoo® Version 18.05.
If you create an UGC activated event date, you are also owner of this event date.
Prequisites are
- appropriate configuration of the Custom page User area
- appropriate configuration of the course template, which the author has selected in the Client wizard on tab Options under User content templates.
By that the certifications are copied from this course template. Thus you can allot these certifications from the new course. The author has added the certifications in the Course wizard on tab Course content in the correponding event via the General characteristics or/and in the Course wizard on the sub tab Certifications of the tab Parameters.
- Also you got the user right Record attendance for user content via your User account or your permission group.
- The author has activated the option Register other users as team leader via the UGC course activation template on the tab Registration management or the author has activated via the Registration settings directly in the UGC event template.
Alternatively, the author has activated this option in the table on the tab Users of the Participant management of the course activation. Thus it’s possible to do a registration, even the Activated event date is in the past.
Step 2
Enter the required data in the mandatory fields title, teaser, provider, event dates, location and room details. If you click on the button Edit description, you can create and edit an appropriate description for the even date via the Move editor. Tagging, tagging 2, event date costs (check mark No cost is set by default), costs of overnight stay (check mark No cost is set by default), documents and media (for uploading you need the user right Create media for user content; see second screenshot (Select media)) and the room are optional.
When the option “Calculate participant price automatically from the costs” is set in the event date parameters , you can adjust the price, additionally with the right Create an activated event for user content, and you can recalculate the price for the participants.
The first event date is suggested, but you can adjust it. The next day with the same time as starting time and end time an hour later is entered by default. You can add as many event dates you want.
Step 3
Click the button Submit.
Your entered event dates are saved as event date group with follow-up event dates under My content and under Required at the learning place. This event date group with follow-up event dates is saved in the author backend under Activated event dates. Each author with the corresponding right can edit the activated event date, as lons as the first event date hasn’t started yet.
This created event date can be used as template for for further event dates.
Following activities including recording attendance
As a new own content is generated, the event date group with follow-up event dates is shown also as tile on the tab Start in the stream New releases. As the first event date is completed, the follow-up event dates are still shown on Start and Learning place as My event dates. You can only deregister from these event dates via My event dates, if the first event hasn’t started yet.
Your own created content is shown as My content on the corresponding tile. Thus you recognize your content at once.

To edit your own event date, click the Pencil and do the changes and then click finally the button Save.
-
Via a clicking the three points on the corresponding tile a menu with the options Edit and Record your attendance opens.

Also you can enter a note if a reason is required. After clicking the button Apply the participant status changes from Incomplete to Successfully completed and the event date is automatically closed. Then you cannot adjust the attendance record anymore.
As user team leader you can record the attendance for employees, to who you got permission and who you had registered before or who registered by themselves and maybe you should approve their registration. Therefore choose under Date the desired employee in a drop-down menu and set the check mark I did attend, if this employee was present. Alternatively, you can enter a reason in the comment field. After clicking the button Apply the participant status changes from Incomplete to Successfully completed. After that you cannot adjust the attendance record anymore.
- If you’ve created an Activated event date, you can also choose the Participant Management via the context menu.
Therefore you need the right to manage participants (option Register other users as team leader is activated, see Prerequisites) and you have to be the owner of the event, this means the creator of the Activated event date.
You can register these participants for which the certificate should be given afterwards. Therefore you mark these as Present regarding the event date and click finally the button Close event date list and save the attendance list. As soon as this course activation is closed you get the certificate for the selected participants.
If you’re speaker of the event and the Speaker cockpit is available and allowed, you can switch via a button to the Speaker cockpit.
