Module Properties Field Reference

The tables below describe general learning module properties relating to course setup. This information is used to classify the course entry within a catalog.

Learning Module Details

The information in this section is used to classify the course entry within the catalog.

Property	Description
Title	The module title appears in the catalog and the course details page. It should be concise and explicit. Module titles are saved in the learner's transcript (their learning record), they are searchable in the catalog, and could even be used for legal or regulatory purposes. This is a mandatory field.
Description	The module description appears in the catalog and the Course Details page. It should be concise and explicit. Module descriptions are saved in the learner's transcript, they are searchable in the catalog, and could even be used for legal or regulatory purposes.
More Information Hyperlink	You can enter a link to a website with information or resources related to the course. The More Information Hyperlink is shown in the Course Details and Knowledge Center.
Language	All learning modules can be delivered in a specific language you select from the list. For learning modules with more than one session, such as classroom-based courses available in different locations, you can define the learning module as multi-language and specify the delivery language for each session. The languages available are determined by the languages purchased by your organization. The languages available for the module are shown in the Catalog Browser, Catalog Search results, Course Details and Knowledge Center. This is a mandatory field.
Vendor	You can select the course vendor from the drop-down list. This information is not shown in the Course Details. For information about creating vendors in catalog configuration, please see Vendors.
Duration Comments	You can add the course duration, which is shown in the Course Details and Knowledge Center.
Support Contact	You can enter the name of one or more people who can provide learners with support for enrollment or participation in the course. This information is shown as plain text in the Course Details and Knowledge Center (that is, HTML markup, such as email links, are not implemented).
Enable Progress Tracker	Check this box to enable the Progress Tracker for Programs. The Progress Tracker shows learners their month-by-month progress through each of the Program's constituent modules on a calendar page. When enabled, the Progress Tracker link is shown for the Program on the Current Learning Modules tab on the Learning page, and also in the Training Progress widget on the Widget page. This property applies only to Program learning types.
Display "Indicate Interest"	Check this box to enable learners to indicate their interest in taking the course if they are unable to enroll. You can enable them to provide up to three preferred dates and a comment, or just a comment. Allowing learners to indicate their interest in taking a course can be useful for scheduling classroom or virtual classroom sessions. If you provide this option, a link is shown in the Course Details, enabling learners to indicate their interest. The Indicate Interest property is not applicable to Just-in-Time learning modules.
Show on other resources tab instead of enrolled learning modules tab (tabbed interface only)	This check box is shown only if the Show other resources tab (tabbed interface only) System Configuration setting is enabled. Select this check box to show the learning module in the Other Resources page in the Learning Center. The Other Resources page must be included in the navigations.xml file used for the LMS's skin, as shown in this example navigations.xml extract: <item labelKey="label.LearningCentre" txCode="TABLISTSESSIONS"> <menu cssClassName="submenu"> <item labelKey="heading.currentCourses" txCode="TABLISTSESSIONS" /> … <item labelKey="label.Other_Resources" txCode="OTHERRESOURCES" /> …

Catalog Configuration

You can assign modules to one or more catalogs using the Catalog Configuration properties.

Property	Description
Visibility	Check this box to show the learning module in the catalog or catalogs you select in the Assign catalog field. Only check this box for courses that learners can enroll themselves in. If you don’t need learners to see the course details in the catalog, you can clear this check box. Select the Show in Catalogs check box last, after you have saved all the other module properties. As soon as you save the properties in the Catalog Editor (with this check box selected), the module becomes visible to learners looking for courses. If other essential properties have not been configured yet, learners may encounter errors if they try to enroll in the course.
Category	You can select a category from the drop-down list to assign the learning module to it. You can use categories to group courses with related subjects. Learners can refine a catalog search by subject but not category. Admins can search on both category and subject, via the advanced filters on the Learning Modules page in the Manage Center. For information about creating categories, please see Course Categories.
Subject	You can select a subject from the drop-down list to assign it to the learning module. A subject is a general topic covered by the course. You can group courses with related subjects in a particular category to help organize your learning modules. For information about creating subjects, please see Course Subjects.
Assign catalog	You have to add a module to a catalog so that it can be found in Catalog Search. You can add a module to multiple catalogs. Click the Assign catalog field name to open the Catalog Selector, where you can select one or more catalogs to add the course to. The catalogs the module has been assigned to are listed in the box. For information about managing catalogs, please see Introduction to Course Catalog Set Up.
Image for Catalog Display	Click the browse icon to open the Repository Manager, where you can select an image file to use in the catalogs the module has been added to. Images are displayed in different aspect ratios in the legacy user interface (UI) and new responsive UI. In the legacy UI, to see the whole image in the catalog, it must be no bigger than 150 x 150 pixels. If you select an image with greater dimensions, the Image Editor opens and you can either select a cropped area of the image to use, or scale the image to fit 150 x 150 pixels. Scaling non-square images changes the aspect ratio so they may appear stretched or squashed in one dimension. The new responsive UI displays course and catalog images in approximately a 16:9 width-to-height ratio. Any image size greater than 500 pixels wide can be used and will be scaled without distortion to fit. Click the Reset icon to reset the image to the default.
