Help Homepage

The training home page shows a series of tools : an introduction text, a description, a Documents manager etc. This page is modular : you can hide / show any tool in one click. Hidden tools can be reactivated at any time.

Navigation

To browse your course, you have 2 navigation tools. One on top left is a tree showing where you are and how deep you are in the training. On top right, you can access to a tool through its icon in one click. Whether you select your training code on left (always UPPER CASE) or the house icon on the right, you will reach the home page of your training.

Best practice

To motivate your learners, it is important that your training area is a dynamic area. This will indicate that there is 'somebody behind the screen'. A quick way to give this feeling is to edit the Introduction text (click on yellow pencil) at least every week to tell latest news, forthcoming deadlines and so on.

To build your training, it might prove relevant to follow these steps:

1. In Training Settings, check Training Access : Private and Subscription : Denied. This way, nobody can enter your course area during building process,
2. Show all the tools clicking on the gray link below the ones situated at the bottom of the page,
3. Use the tools you need to 'fill' your area with content, events, guidelines, tests etc.,
4. Hide all tools : your home page is empty in Student view,
5. Use the Course tool to structure the way students will visit it and learn with it. This way, you use the other tools, but you don't show them at first sight.
6. Click on the eye icon besides the path you created : this path will then show on your home page,
7. The preparation of your training area is over. Your home page shows an introduction text followed by one link only and this link drives students through the course. Click on Learner view (top right) to see things from a learner point of view.
