Define Course Settings

Admins can configure the settings of a course before creating and publishing its content. Course settings include course information, content options, completion criteria, images, themes, and advanced configuration.

Open Course Settings

1. From the Admin Dashboard, select the Courses icon.
   The Courses page displays the available courses, assessments, and learning paths.

   Note: If no courses have been created, No Course(s) found is displayed.

2. To create a new course, select Create and then select New Course.
   To configure an existing course, select the relevant course tile.

Enter Course Information

Under Course Info, provide the basic details of the course.

1. In Title, enter the name of the course.
2. In Description, enter a brief description of the course.
3. In Duration, specify the expected course duration.
   The duration is used for reporting purposes. For example, if a course is configured for 10 minutes but a learner takes 15 minutes to complete it, the difference is reflected in reports.
4. In Tags, enter relevant keywords for the course.
   Tags help learners search for and find courses.

   Note: Separate multiple tags with commas.

5. In Base Language, select the primary language in which the course will be authored.
   Only one base language can be selected.
   The base language determines the language used to create the course content. If the course is authored directly in another supported language, you do not need to create the course in English and translate it separately.

   Note: If the course does not require translation into additional languages, you do not need to enable the Language Selector in Course Configuration.

6. In Category, select the appropriate category for the course.
   Categories help organize courses and can appear as sections on the learner dashboard when categorized courses are assigned to users.
7. In Skill, select the relevant skill associated with the course.
8. Configure the Number of Attempts, if applicable.
   Once the maximum number of attempts is reached, learners cannot access the course again and are prompted to contact the administrator.
9. Select Continue.
   The Course Configuration section opens.

Configure Course Content

The Course Configuration section contains Course Content and Completion Criteria settings.

Course Content

Configure the options required for the learner experience.

Select a Certificate

When Certificate is enabled:

1. Select the certificate icon.
2. Select the certificate you want to associate with the course.

Note: Certificates must be created under Settings before they can be assigned to a course.

Enable Resume

When Enable Resume is enabled, learners can continue the course from where they stopped instead of restarting from the beginning.

Learners cannot modify previously submitted answers, but they can re-attempt questions subject to the attempt limits configured for the course.

Disable Feedback

Enable Disable Feedback if learners should not receive feedback indicating whether their answers to knowledge checks are correct or incorrect.

Configure Completion Criteria

Under Completion Criteria, configure how KREDO determines course completion.

Visited All Pages

Enable Visited all pages to consider the course complete when the learner has visited all pages, regardless of the score achieved.

Passing Mark

Enable Passing Mark when learners must achieve a specific score to pass the course.

When Passing Mark is enabled, configure the required passing score and scoring criteria.

Scoring Criteria

The following scoring criteria are available:

• Highest – Uses the highest score achieved across multiple attempts.
• First – Uses the score achieved on the learner's first attempt.
• First Pass – Uses the score from the first attempt on which the learner achieves the configured passing score.
• Recent – Uses the score from the learner's most recent attempt.

Completion Status

When a passing mark is configured, select how KREDO should determine the completion status:

• Completed – The course is considered completed even if the learner does not achieve the passing score. Relevant certificates, points, and badges are displayed.
• Not Completed – The course remains incomplete if the learner does not achieve the passing score. Relevant certificates, points, and badges are not displayed.
