Feature Overview and Requirements

Portal Administrators have the ability to use a special course search for accessing and modifying courses in the course catalog that is more robust than the Course Search offered to students and managers.

Use this feature to edit existing course configurations, upload new SCORM content for eLearning courses, create offerings for classroom courses, or change the settings that control how a course functions, who has access to it, and what is needed to enroll in it. 

Note: Remember that the only element of a course that cannot be modified after course creation is the delivery method.

Step by Step Procedure and Field Description

Search for A Course

1. From the Administration menu, select Course > Search Courses.
2. There are two ways to use the Search Courses page:
   a. Keyword– Enter all or part of the Course Name, Description, or Course Code at the top of the search page, and then click Search. 
   b. Filter – Use this section to select courses using a variety of filters, such as Major or Delivery Method. Click Apply Filter to view results.

Note: Some filter options allow the selection of multiple values. Hold CTRL while selecting multiple items to do so. Also, by default, the search only returns active courses. To look only for inactive courses, select Status = Inactive or if you’re unsure of the course status, select Status = Both.

Search Results Options

From the Results list, portal administrators have several options:

1. Results Header: Click headings for Code or Course to sort by the column. Click again to switch between sorting by A-Z and Z-A.
2. Pagination: If results extend beyond one page, navigate between pages using Prev Page, Next Page, Next 5 Pages or Prev 5 Pages. It will also note on the right side of the results list the total number of records the search returned.
