Managing a LMS Training

A Training in LMS is an area where a Instructor will add resources and activities for their students to complete. It might be a simple page with downloadable documents or it might be a complex set of tasks where learning progresses through interaction. See the screencast What is a Training in LMS? for an example.

The Training page is made up of central sections which contain the tasks and (if desired) blocks to the side. The Training Instructor has control over the layout of the Training homepage and can change it at any time. Progress can be tracked in a number of ways.

Students can be enrolled manually by the Instructor, automatically by the administrator, or they can be allowed to enrol themselves. Students can also be added to groups if they need to be separated from classes sharing the same Training or if tasks need to be differentiated.
