When you think of online learning, you think of e-learnings. This type of learning activity allows you to teach users everything about a specific topic in an interactive way. You can do this by offering information in various learning formats and by providing opportunities to practise.

The highest level within an e-learning is the general information. You’ll find this page in all types of learning activities. At this level, you provide a title, author, estimated study time, theme(s), a general description, and skill(s) for the e-learning. You can also upload an image here. This image will appear as the tile for the e-learning — visible to administrators under "Content" and to users in their list of available or enrolled activities.

This information is entered when creating a new e-learning module.

The first level of structure within an e-learning is a part. Parts help you organize your content. You assign a title and an image to each part. You can optionally add an introduction text to explain what the part is about.

On the page where you add parts, you can also include a general introduction at the top — for example, to explain how the e-learning is structured.

You can make a part within an e-learning invisible. This deactivates the section and hides it from users. This is useful if you want to archive certain parts and reuse them later.

To do this, go to the e-learning in question and click "Edit e-learning". Hover over the part you want to hide. Three icons will appear — click the eye icon to make the component invisible.

When structuring parts, you can optionally add a chapter as an extra layer of organization. Chapters help divide the content within a part.

You can also make a chapter invisible to users. This deactivates the section and hides it from view — useful when archiving parts of the content for future use.

To do this, go to the relevant e-learning and click "Edit e-learning". Navigate to the part containing the chapter you want to hide. Hover over the chapter and click the eye icon when the three icons appear.

Within a part or chapter, you can add paragraphs and tests. A paragraph or test can include various types of learning formats — such as questions, text, video, audio, or a combination of these. A test can only contain questions and includes additional settings to support assessment functionality.

You can also hide a paragraph or test within an e-learning. This deactivates the element and makes it invisible to users — useful if you want to archive it for later use. To do this, go to the relevant e-learning and click "Edit e-learning. Navigate to the paragraph or test you want to hide. Hover over the element and click the eye icon that appears.

The lowest level is the learning format. This is the actual content — such as a text block, a video, or a question. Learning formats can be found in the Warehouse.

As an administrator, you may want control over when certain parts of a learning activity become available to users. That’s why, in an e-learning, you can set conditions for releasing content within the learning activity.

For example, you can specify that a particular chapter or part only becomes available after the user has completed a previous part. Until then, the section will be visible but not yet accessible to the user.

Open the learning activity for which you want to set conditions by going to "Content" in the left-hand menu. Then click "Edit e-learning" in the top right corner. Next, click the gear icon in the top right to open the settings for this e-learning. Select the "Conditions" tab.

You can add a condition to any part within a learning activity — both to main parts and to nested paragraphs. To do this, click the arrow on the right-hand side and select "Add condition". Then, define what needs to happen in order for the component to become accessible. There are two types of conditions in an e-learning:

You can add completion conditions to an e-learning. This means you can define what must be achieved within the module for the learning activity to be marked as complete. Using completion conditions is useful to ensure that users fully complete the e-learning.

By default, the activity includes a completion condition of 100% progress.
You can add up to four custom completion conditions yourself — for example, passing a final test or completing a specific component.
