MAKING TRAINING MODULES

In Training Developer, click Content tab

Click [(+) New Module] button.  A menu will drop down with some options.  Choose the one that is best for you.  

This will open the Module Settings page.  The settings are set by default to the most commonly used settings.  Refer to the (i) info bubbles beside each setting for a detailed description.  Don’t forget to click Save button when done.  

Your new module will be created and can be found in Content tab / Modules / Draft and also on your Training Developer ‘Home’ page.

To open the module in Edit mode, click the green Edit icon.

There are two parts to the Editor: The Module Navigation Pane (on the left side) and the Content Editor (on the right side).  

To add content, click the black [+] button at the top of the navigation pane.  You can choose from any of the types of content in the menu that drops down. Info balloons will pop up as you pass over each one, describing each type of content.

You can put any kind of content anywhere in a module in any order you want.  

Always end a course with at least one Content page. Do not have an Exam or Survey as the last page.

To make it available to the REGISTRAR, you need to 'Publish' it. After you Exit the edit mode, click on the module rectangle and the tools drawer will open. Publish is one of the tools.
