Add a new course
Create a course in Linqur, fill in the course details and choose the right course format.
In Linqur, a course is where you put learning objects such as SCORM packages. You create one through Courses and Add course. Only the course title and the category are required. Then you choose the format: for SCORM Proxy and LTI tools, that is almost always Standard Course.
Step by step
1. Open the Add course form
In the menu on the left, click Courses (1), then click Add course in the top right (2).
2. Fill in the course details
| Field | Required | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
| Course Title | Yes | The name of the course. It does not have to be unique. |
| Unique ID | No | Your own reference, for example PROG-101. If you leave it empty, Linqur fills it in for you. |
| Category | Yes | The category the course is listed under in the course overview. To add or rename categories, see manage course categories. |
| Estimated Duration | No | Roughly how long the course takes, for example 2 hours. Learners see this on the sign-up page. |
| Cover Image | No | An image in jpeg, jpg or png format. It appears on the course card in the course overview. |
| Description | No | A short summary of the course, also shown on the course card. |
Estimated Duration, Cover Image and Description are optional. If you offer the course through sign-up URLs, do fill them in: learners see them before they sign up.
3. Choose the course format
Choose Standard Course. This is almost always the right choice, especially if you share the course through SCORM Proxy or as an LTI tool; see Standard course: a complete course with sections. Single activity is for one SCORM package that you offer through a sign-up URL; see Single activity: one learning object, no sections. Multilingual SCORM is for one course with a SCORM package per language; see create a multilingual SCORM course.
4. Save the course
Click Save. You land on the Content tab of your new course, where you add content such as a SCORM package.
Where do the course details show up?
The cover image, description and estimated duration appear on the course card in the course overview. Learners also see the estimated duration on the sign-up page. To change them later, see how to change a course image, description and duration.
Next step
Add content to your course, such as a SCORM package. All types of content are listed in getting started with course content. Then share the course through LTI, with a sign-up URL or with a SCORM wrapper. To set when a course or activity counts as completed, follow this tutorial.
