Some of our clients have large content libraries and customize the course behavior for each of their clients. We’ve now made this much easier.<\/p>\n

One particular client has hundreds of courses in their library. Each course contains about 30 hours of training material but includes a pre-test so that users who know the material can test out. When a new client signs up, they configure the passing score required to test out and, in some cases, the number of attempts allowed at it based on the client’s requirements.<\/p>\n

We’ve always allowed you to modify these settings on a course by course basis. In our most recent release, we now make it simple for you to edit these settings in bulk.<\/p>\n

Here’s how you do it<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Select one or more of your courses from the ‘Activities’ page in the ‘Content’ tab and select the ‘Attempts and scoring’ operation.<\/li>\n
  2. A pop-up dialog is displayed. Select the type of item that you’d like to change.\n

    Courses can contain lots of items within them (such as pre-tests, lessons, and study guides). Settings are applied to items of a specific type. So you can change the settings for all your pre-tests in one operation.<\/li>\n

  3. After selecting a type, the settings are enabled and show the current state for the selected items. If a mix of values exist, that is conveyed. Make your changes and click the ‘Save Changes’ button.<\/li>\n
  4. After the changes are made, the dialog is dismissed and feedback is presented. The feedback includes a link to undo the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The ‘Attempts and scoring’ operation is also available when looking at all courses that have a specific tag applied. If your course library is segmented into series or by publisher, this makes it really easy to change all the settings for your groups of courses.<\/p>\n

    For those of you with large content libraries, we hope this addition is useful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
