Training basics

Training library

The training library provides access to virtual classrooms, courses, and curriculums. Virtual classrooms, courses, and curriculums can be added through the navigation bar; they can be organized and deleted this way as well. Virtual classrooms, courses, curriculums, and the folders they are in can be edited and permissions can be set to determine which users can view and edit these files. The training library will be mostly used for classes at the university. 

Shared Training has any training that has been put into this folder, for anyone to view.

User Training has a folder for each instructor or teaching assistant with training permissions and in these folders is their training.

My Training has all the training you have added.

Training Catalog has all open enrolment training for users to enroll in.

Users and Groups has access to premade groups, and allows you to create groups, import groups, and delete groups.

A summary of the training is provided under Training Dashboard.

Viewed by: Administrators, Administrators-Limited, and Training Managers.

Training groups

Training groups consist of students; they are used for easier access to students for course purposes. Training groups may include all of the students in a course so that selecting all students will be easier.

  1. Go to the Training tab and select Users and Groups.

  2. Select New Group, give it a name, and optionally a description.

  3. Select Next; select the names of the students to be added to the training group on the left, and Add. If need be, select an already added student on the right and Remove to delete them from the group.

Edit a group:

  1. Go to the Training tab and select Users and Groups.

  2. Select the group and Information; view group information, view group members, edit the group information and edit the students in the group.
