Getting started

1. Enable course module, and a bundled course object:
   • course_quiz - Graded Quiz object
   • course_poll - Poll requirement
   • course_webform - Webform submission requirement
   • course_content - Use any content type as a course object
   • course_certificate - Award a Certificate on course completion
2. Set up the "Course outline" block at admin/build/blocks
3. Go to Create content -> Course
4. Add new course objects, "Quiz" will be available
5. Go to the "take course" tab, and set up questions for your quizzes.
6. Take the course!

Enrollments and attendance

• Course comes bundled with course_signup, to use Signup as an enrollment and attendance management system. Attendance can be a requirement for completion of a live course.

Ubercart support

• Course comes bundled with course_uc, which provides Ubercart actions to enroll a user after purchasing a course product.

Course credit

• Course comes bundled with course_credit, which will allow an admin to assign and map credit types to learner profiles and courses. Learners will then be able to receive or claim credit that they are eligible for on completion of a course. Credit can appear in a completed activities view and is exposed to Token for use in a module like Certificate.

Reporting

• Course report areas for global (course-level) reports and individual (object-level) reports.
• API to allow course objects to provide their own reports.

Development branches

• 6.x-1.x is under heavy development and should be considered unstable. Please report bugs in the issue queue.
