Course Publishing, Launching and Tracking

A course is one or more web pages that provide a self-paced learning experience to the learner. The learner can begin the course at any time, stop it and resume it at a later time. The learner decides how quickly he or she will move through the course material. The learner can come back and review the course after it has been completed.

• The administrator publishes courses to the LMS and places the courses into the catalog.
• A learner logs into the LMS using a username and password. The learner finds a course in the catalog and then launches it.
• The LMS keeps track of the learner‟s activity with each course.
• The administrator views reports that show activity of all of the learners with the courses.
