How do I create an online learning resource?

The following is guidance for creating an online learning resource in myLearning.  Online learning resources can be used as placeholders for eLearning, job aid, and podcast audio content.  From the Administrator Console, navigate to the Resource tab and choose "Maintain Learning Resources." Please consider that creating a learning resource does not automatically place it in the course catalog. That is a separate step. If you would like to add a learning resource to the catalog please click here to submit a course catalog request.



Click on New, to create a new learning resource.



Select a tab below to learn about its setup within a learning resource:



Overview Tab

Step 1

Choose On-Line Training/CBT from the Type of Resource drop down menu.




Step 2

Enter a course title.


Step 3

Enter a course description (this is only seen on the back-end/admin side of myLearning).  

DO NOT ADD A TIME REQUIREMENT.




Tip

If you are creating a learning resource from a copy of an existing resource, ensure that the course number at the top of the screen matches with the number in the Course#/Reference# field.

Step 4

Choose “Active” from the Resource Status drop down menu, to make your course Active.


Step 5

Choose “OnLine” from the Delivery Method drop down list.


Step 6

Choose your Provider group from the Provider drop down list.


Step 7

Click Allow Multiple Enrollments if you would like learners to be able to take the courses more than once AND get a new completion date on their history for each time they complete it. If you do not check this box, learners will not get a new completion date on their history for each time they complete the course; only the 1st date of completion will show.


Description Tab
  • Enter a course description. This is seen by learners who want to enroll into the learning resource, and will appear on the course display page for the learning resource.


Objectives Tab
  • Enter the course objectives on this tab.  The course objectives entered here will display on the course display page.

Details Tab
  • Choose a completion certificate. If your respective area/entity does not have a specific completion certificate, please select 'Certificate of Completion' from the list.


  • Suppress the Comments and Ratings Box


  • Choose the Level 1 evaluation you would like to attach to your course. The “LTI Team - eLearning Evaluation” is universal and available for System Administrator to obtain learner feedback for eLearning content.



  • On the Owners Sub Tab
    • You should see yourself as the owner of the course. If applicable designate your team as course owners. If you have multiple System Administrators in your dept., you should have a team of owners to serve as a back up. If you do not see a team for your dept. please submit a help desk ticket to request that a team is created. 
  • Click Save.



Online Tab
  • Choose “Tin Can API/Experience API” from the Compatibility/Compliance Model menu list. This is the Johns Hopkins preferred publishing model for eLearning content. If your eLearning content has been published in another publishing model (SCORM or AICC), feel free to select that model from the menu list.


  • Choose your score model, which is usually “The Resource will score itself as complete”, but other options are available depending on your course setup and requirements. 
  • Enable Scroll Bars and Allow Window Resize.

  • Click SAVE.
Metadata Tab


  • Click on the Time Description Subtab - Enter the amount of time a learner can expect to spend in the course.



  • Click on the Keywords Subtab - Enter any keywords users can enter to search for your course in the course catalog. Keywords should be specific to the topic and title of your course, and include any common misspellings.

 

  • Click Save.
Additional Tabs


  • Only use the Notifications Tab if you need to customize the enrollment notifications that are sent to learners regarding the learning resource.  Otherwise default Enrollment notifications will be sent to learners once they enroll into the learning resource.  For more details about notifications for learning resources read the solutions article How can I use notifications in my learning resource?

  • To exit the learning resource Click SAVE & CLOSE.

Uploading Your Course Files


  • Click the File Manager button


  • When the File Manager opens, select Upload, then browse for your course files (Must be a .zip file, created in an content authoring program such as Captivate or Articulate Storyline). 
  • After you have uploaded the eLearning content to the File Manager, you should see that the eLearning assets are unzipped and uploaded to the File Manager. Once you see this, close the File Manager.  
  • You can return to the On-line Tab to use the "Test" button, to test launch the eLearning content. 
    Clicking test will open 2 browser windows. If the eLearning content was uploaded successfully, one browser window will open the eLearning content and another browser window will open that will allow you to drop the enrollment from the test launch.
     



    • After you have confirmed that the eLearning content launches successfully, navigate back to the original myLearning window and Click SAVE.
