Edit courses

If you are an administrator or a user with permission to manage a specific Training library folder, you can manage courses.

Edit course information

You can edit course information, which includes the course name, ID, summary, start date, and close date.

  1. Click the Training tab at the top of the Adobe Connect Central window.
  2. Navigate to the course.
  3. In the course list, click the name of the course.
  4. Click the Edit Information link in the navigation list.
  5. Edit the course information. You can change the following information:
    Course Name
    (Required) The name of the course; it appears in the course list and in reports.

    Course ID
    The course number or ID: for example, 100, CS100, and so on.

    Summary
    A course description that appears on the Course Information page.

    Course Starts On
    The date before which users cannot access the course. If you change an existing course’s start date to a later date, no users (not even those who already accessed the course) can access the course until the new start date. If some enrollees have already accessed the course, their tracking and quiz information is retained in reports.

    Course Closes On
    The date after which users cannot access the course.

    Max Attempts
    The the maximum number of attempts the enrollee has to pass this course; if you leave Max Attempts blank, you are allowing an unlimited number of retries.

    Max Possible Score
    The maximum score a user can receive. Use this option for course content that is not already graded, such as a PDF, or only sends a partial score, such as Captivate content (maximum score is determined by the content used).
    Note: For content that includes multiple scored quizzes, the max possible score for the overall content is not automatically detected when the content is added to a course. For example, a presentation containing two quizzes, one with a max possible score of 50 and a second with a max possible score of 40, will report the max possible score of the last quiz taken (40). For a more accurate total score, consider creating one quiz and distributing the questions throughout the presentation instead of using multiple quizzes. For example, create a quiz with 10 questions. In the presentation, show 4 content slides, quiz questions 1-5, 8 more content slides, and then questions 6-10.

  6. By default, the Update Information for Any Items Linked To This Item option is selected. Keep this selected if you think you will link any items to the course.
  7. Click Save.

    Changing the course title or course summary does not change the information on a presentation summary slide. This slide uses the information specified at the time the presentation was originally published. To change this information, republish the content and then reselect the content that the course uses.

Change or update course content

You can change or update the content in a course. If you want to update the content, first publish the updated file to the Content library.

  1. Click the Training tab at the top of the Adobe Connect Central window.
  2. Navigate to the course whose content you want to change. In the course list, click the name of the course to select it.
  3. Click the Select Content link in the navigation bar.
  4. Navigate to the folder that contains the content that you want to use for the course.
  5. Select the button next to the content that you want to use for the course. You can select new content or an updated version of the existing content.
  6. Click Save.
  7. A warning message is displayed. To update the content, click Yes, Update My Content.

Add or remove course enrollees

If you add enrollees to a course, notify the new enrollees. You can also set up reminders for them.

If you remove enrollees, they do not receive notification and are no longer able to access the course.

  1. Click the Training tab at the top of the Adobe Connect Central window.
  2. Navigate to the course.
  3. In the list, click the name of the course.
  4. Click the Manage Enrollees link in the navigation bar.
  5. Do one of the following:

    • Select an enrollee or enrollees in the Available Users and Groups list and click Add. (Press Control-click or Shift-click to select multiple users or groups. To expand a group to select individual members, double-click the group name. Then select individual users.)

    • Select an enrollee or enrollees in the Current Enrollees list and click Remove.

Change settings for course notifications or reminders

Notifications and reminders help you communicate with course enrollees. You can change the settings of pending notifications and reminders at any time.

  1. Click the Training tab at the top of the Adobe Connect Central window.
  2. Navigate to the course.
  3. In the course list, click the name of the course.
  4. Click the Notifications link in the navigation bar.
  5. Click Pending Notifications.
  6. Under Subject, click the name of the notification or reminder you want to change. (Notifications appear in the subject list with the notification icon and reminders appear with the reminder icon .)
  7. Click Edit at the bottom of the page.
  8. Make changes, such as editing the timing, recipients, or message text. (If you enter e‑mail addresses, use commas to separate the addresses.) To edit the e‑mail subject and message using a run time field, copy the field name from the Run Time Fields list and paste it into the message subject or body. Do not change the run time field text in curly brackets.
  9. Click Send to apply the changes.
