Managing and editing created E-Learning courses
The Course management section also allows you to review and edit created E-Learning courses. The available editing options and processes depend on the current status of the E-Learning course.
Here is an overview of the E-Learning course statuses:
-
Running = running E-Learning course
-
Scheduled = the 6-step course creation process has been fully completed and the course has been launched for a future date
-
Draft = the creation of a new E-Learning course has begun, but it is either incomplete or has not yet been launched
-
Finished = a finished and inactive course
To view or edit the settings of a course, select the pencil icon in the Actions column. Depending on the current status of your course, different options will be available to you.
The following sections show you which adjustments you can make in each case:
a) Editing a course in "Draft" status
After clicking the pencil icon, you will land on the first page of the guided 6-step process.
-
Make your adjustments in the desired steps.
-
Click Continue to move through the subsequent steps until you reach the course overview.
-
Select Launch course to save your changes and officially activate the E-Learning.
Note: The status of the course will now change from Draft to Scheduled. If you wish to make further changes to this course at a later time, you can do so at any time. The procedure for this can be found in the following section.
b) Editing a course in "Scheduled" status
After clicking the pencil icon, you will be directed to the Course overview.

Click Continue to move through the subsequent steps until you are back at the course overview.

Note: The start date of courses that are already running cannot be changed retroactively.
Ending a course prematurely:
If you want to stop the course, click the red End course now button and confirm the action.
Attention: This action is irreversible. A completed course cannot be restored.
d) Viewing a course in "Finished" status
Courses with the Finished status cannot be edited retroactively. However, you can check the applied settings at any time by clicking the eye icon in the Actions column.
You will then be redirected to the course overview to review the settings.
Duplicating E-Learning courses
You can easily reuse already created courses as templates by duplicating them:
-
In the Actions column, click the double rectangle icon (Duplicate) of the desired course.
-
The duplicated course will immediately appear as a new Draft in your course overview.
-
The title of the original course will be adopted and appended with (Copy) for better recognition. You can now freely edit and customize this draft.
