Courses vs Classes
A Class is an educator-managed group of learners. A Course is a structured learning programme within a class, with an outline, schedule, and progress tracking.
Creating a Class

educator/class_create-input.php) - Enter: name, description, and optional institution data
- Save — the class is created within your association
Creating a Course
- Go to Educator → Courses → Create Course (
educator/course-create.php) - Enter: title, description, start/end dates, and accreditation details (if applicable)

Building a Course Outline
The Course Outline defines the learning sequence:
- Navigate to Course → Course Outline
- Add CourseItems: lessons, materials, quizzes, milestones, and KeyRings
- Drag items to reorder
- Learners complete items in the order shown (if sequential access is enabled)
Course Progress Reporting
Course Progress (educator/class-select.php?redir=eduCourseProgress) shows per-learner completion:
- Lessons started and completed
- Quiz scores
- Overall completion percentage
- Last activity date
Export as CSV for external reporting.
Course Diary
The Course Diary is a private Markdown journal for educator notes:
- Record observations, adjustments to the course plan, and reflections
- Only visible to educators with Course Settings permission
Day Planner
The Day Planner (educator/dayplanner.php) lets you schedule lessons and materials to specific calendar dates:
- Drag lessons onto date cells
- Learners see planned content in their Training Calendar
- Useful for structured classroom programmes with a fixed timetable
Class Management
From the class management pages:
- Class List (
educator/class-list.php) — view all managed classes - Edit Class — modify class name, description, and settings
- Class Lessons (
educator/class-lessons.php) — lessons attached to a specific class - Join Link — generate an invite link for learners to self-enrol
Follow-Along Mode
Follow-Along synchronises lesson viewing across the class in real time:
- Educator view (
educator/followalong_admin.php) — see each learner's position in the lesson - Learner view (
educator/followalong_student.php) — guided step-by-step lesson with the educator driving pace
Useful for live online sessions where the educator wants to pace content delivery.
