Learning authoring

Org admins build the courses and assignment rules. Members consume what you create.

Create a course​

  1. Open Org → Learning → Courses → New course.
  2. Set:
    • Title (e.g., "Hazing Prevention 2026")
    • Description
    • Cover image
    • Estimated duration
    • Required for — leave blank for elective; set rules later in Assignment rules
    • Pass score (percentage on the final assessment)
    • Recertification cadence — annual, biennial, never
  3. Click Save & start authoring.

Course authoring with modules. Course authoring with modules.

Add modules​

Modules are course sections. Each can contain text, video, images, downloadable files, and an end-of-module quiz.

  1. Click Add module.
  2. Title the module.
  3. Add content blocks:
    • Text (markdown)
    • Video (upload MP4 or paste YouTube/Vimeo URL)
    • Image
    • Downloadable file
    • Embedded resource (PDF preview)
  4. Save.

Drag modules to reorder.

Add quizzes​

Inside any module, click Add quiz:

  1. Add questions:
    • Multiple choice (single or multi-select)
    • True / False
    • Short answer (text match or instructor-graded)
    • Long answer (instructor-graded only)
  2. For each question, mark the correct answer(s) or grading criteria.
  3. Set:
    • Pass score for this quiz
    • Max attempts (or unlimited)
    • Time limit (or none)
    • Show feedback — reveal correct answers after submission?
  4. Save.

Quizzes can gate progress: members can't move to the next module until they pass.

Final assessment​

Most courses end with a final assessment that determines completion and certificate.

  1. Add a final-assessment block (a special quiz at the end of the course).
  2. Set the passing score at the course level.
  3. Members who pass earn a downloadable certificate.

Assignment rules​

Auto-assign courses based on member attributes:

  1. Open Org → Learning → Assignment rules → New rule.
  2. Set conditions:
    • Course: which course
    • Trigger: when a member meets X (e.g., "When status changes to Pledge")
    • Audience: which chapters, statuses, or custom-field values
    • Due date: relative (e.g., "30 days after assignment") or fixed
  3. Click Activate.

The rule runs continuously. New pledges, for example, get auto-assigned to "Hazing Prevention" the moment their status flips.

Manually assign a course​

For one-offs or testing:

  1. Open the course → Assign.
  2. Search and pick members.
  3. Set due date.
  4. Save.

Grading​

Some questions (long answer, short answer with manual grading) require human review.

  1. Open Org → Learning → Grading → Pending.
  2. For each submission:
    • Read the answer
    • Score it
    • Add feedback
  3. Save.

Members get a notification with their score and your feedback.

Configure who can grade in Learning → Settings → Graders.

Course dashboards​

Each course has a per-course dashboard:

  • Total assignments
  • Completion rate
  • Average score
  • Time-to-complete distribution
  • Per-question performance (which questions trip people up)

Use this to identify content that needs revision.

Versioning​

When you edit a published course:

  • Minor edits (fixing typos, adding clarification) — push directly; existing in-progress members see updates immediately
  • Major edits (changing quiz questions, restructuring modules) — create a new version; in-progress members keep their version, new assignments use the new version

Set "minor vs major" expectations carefully — recertification cycles depend on it.

Tips​

  • Start with shorter courses. A 10-minute focused course finishes; a 90-minute monster doesn't.
  • Test the full course as a member. Click through every screen, take every quiz. Bugs are easier to spot from the consumer side.
  • Use video sparingly. A clear text + image lesson often outperforms a wandering video.
  • Iterate based on the per-question dashboard. If 80% of people miss question 3, the question (or the underlying content) is likely the problem.
