Online courses (e-learning) are created from the Online courses section. A course follows a course → modules → lessons hierarchy, consumed by the learner from their personal workspace.
Prerequisites
- Admin role.
1. Create the course
From Online courses, click New course and fill in:
- Title and description
- Associated training (optional : links the course to a catalogue training)
- Cover image (optional)
2. Build the course outline
In the Content tab:
- Click Add a module to create a section.
- Inside a module, click Add a lesson.
- Reorder modules and lessons by drag and drop : the order materializes the teaching progression.
Tip: organize into short thematic modules (3 to 5 lessons each) rather than one long module, progress is more readable for the learner.
3. Choose each lesson type
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Text | Content written directly in the editor |
| Video | Uploaded file up to 2 GB, playback resumes |
| Document shown in the integrated player | |
| Quiz | Auto-graded assessment with passing score |
| Exercise | Assignment submitted by learner, graded manually |
| Resource | Downloadable file made available |
| SCORM | E-learning package imported (Storyline, Rise, iSpring…) |
Important: a Quiz lesson is validated only by passing the quiz (reaching the passing score). Manual completion is rejected for this type.
4. Assign the course to learners
In the Assignments tab, select the learners who should follow this course. They find it in the My online courses panel of their path, with progress and connection-time tracking.
What’s next?
- Quizzes and exercises : add assessments to your course.
- Import a SCORM package : reuse content built with Storyline or Rise.
- Automatic certification and learner tracking : issue certificates at completion.
Frequently asked questions
- Is an online course tied to a training?
- It can be (to attach the e-learning to a catalogue training) but stays autonomous: you can assign it to learners independently of an in-person session.
- How large a video can I upload?
- Videos are uploaded directly to storage in multipart, up to 2 GB. PDFs go up to 50 MB, images via a simple upload.
- Can I reorder modules and lessons after publishing?
- Yes. Drag and drop remains available at any time. Learners in progress see the new order immediately, but their per-lesson progress is preserved.
- Is learner progress tracked automatically?
- Yes. Each lesson read, video watched, or quiz passed updates the completion percentage. For videos, playback resumes where the learner left off.
