Creating a course

This is the title of the course. Learners will see this title in their 'My courses' and in their learning record.

Associate an image with your course. This will appear on the course tile and in the banner at the top of the course page. You can upload your own image or browse the royalty-free images on Breeio.

Learners will see the short description when they go to the course page.

This text is included in e-mail messages sent automatically to learners, e.g. "You will not be able to end your probation period until you have completed this course".

This text will appear on the course certificate and in the learner's training record. It is ideal for messages such as "Approved by the Law Society for 2.5 CPD credits".

This text will be displayed when learners are deciding to add an optional course. It should help the learner decide if the course is appropriate for them.

Suspending the course will stop it from being assigned to new people and will remove un-started assignments. It will retain in-progress assignments and completions, and the ability to look at the module content. The course will still show in reports and the Learning Log, etc.

Learners who are in-progress on this course assignment will be able to continue. Those who have completed will have the ability to look at the module content. The course will still show in reports and the Learning Log, etc.
