Creating Courses and Modules

Tip

This feature is available for customers with the LMS module.

As a trainer or admin, you create courses for your employees to work through. Whether it’s an onboarding plan, annual mandatory training, or professional development — the structure is always the same: Course, Modules, Lessons.

Creating a Course

1. Open LMS management

   Navigate to Manage LMS via the sidebar. Here you’ll see all existing courses with their status.

2. Create a new course

   Click “New Course”. Enter a title and description.

   Example: Title “Inpatient Care Onboarding”, Description “Basics for new employees in inpatient care.”

   

3. Configure course settings

   Two important settings:

   • Quiz mode: “Low Stakes” (pure learning tool without scoring) or “Scored” (percentage rating with passing threshold). For mandatory training like hygiene or fire safety, scored mode is useful to prove that the content was understood.
   • Passing threshold: Configurable in scored mode (default: 70%).
   

4. Save the course

   The course is created as a Draft. Learners cannot see it yet.

Course Status

Status	Meaning
Draft	Work in progress, not visible to learners
Published	Active and visible in the course catalog

Change the status to “Published” once all content is ready.

Creating Modules

Modules are thematic blocks within a course. A course “Inpatient Care Onboarding” could have modules like “Basics”, “Documentation”, and “Emergency Management”.

1. Add a module

   Click “Add Module” in the course. Enter a title.

2. Create additional modules

   Repeat the step for each thematic block.

3. Adjust the order

   Sort modules by drag-and-drop into the desired order.

Adding Lessons

Within each module, you add lessons.

1. Create a lesson

   Click “Add Lesson” in the module. Enter a title.

2. Adjust the order

   Lessons can be sorted by drag-and-drop within a module.

The content of the lessons (text, media, quiz) is edited in a separate step — see Edit Content.

Duplicating a Course

In the three-dot menu of a course, you’ll find the “Duplicate” action. This creates a complete copy of the course — with all modules, lessons, content, and quiz questions. The copy is created as a draft so you can make adjustments before publishing.

This is especially handy when you want to adapt an established course for a different audience — for example, a hygiene training for outpatient rather than inpatient care.

Deleting a Course

Using “Delete” in the three-dot menu, a course is moved to the trash. It can be restored there for 30 days. After that, it is permanently removed — including all modules, lessons, quiz questions, and enrollments.

Tip

Practical Example: A senior care provider creates the course “Data Protection in Everyday Care” with three modules: “GDPR Basics”, “Documentation and Data Protection”, and “Case Studies”. Each module contains 2-3 lessons with explanatory videos from internal training sessions. The course is assigned as a mandatory course to all employees.
