Liaison Academy Course Creation and Template Guide

This article walks you through how to create and manage courses in the LearnUpon platform. You’ll learn how to use course templates for different products, create and update courses, apply consistent naming conventions, handle reversioning and archiving, and add videos and feedback forms. The article also shows you how to build and assign learning journeys, and explains the specific setup needed for TargetX Premier Education courses.

Creating Courses

Once a course is published from EasyGenerator, it becomes available in LearnUpon as a Tin Can, accessible from the Library.

  1. Copy the appropriate Product course template.
  2. Once the copy is available, select the course and rename it to match the name of the EasyGenerator course (or Schoox for the initial setup of courses).
  3. Add a Description (under ‘Details’)
  4. Update the icon (under ‘Details’) 
  5. Update Course Owner = Liaison Academy (Under ‘Additional Settings’)
  6. Add Length of course (Under ‘Additional Settings’)
    • If unsure, estimate 30 minutes
  7. Click “Content,” then click the “Add SCORM or Tin Can” tile.
  8. To add a Video, see Adding Videos to Courses.
  9. Click the Add from Library icon:

  2. Publish the Course.

Updating a Course

  1. Make your updates in EasyGenerator, and choose Publish.
  2. Click Update and send to LearnUpon:

Liaison_Academy_EGUpdatePublish.png

Note: updating a course from EasyGenerator does not require reversioning.

Reversioning

Courses are reversioned when a structural change is made, such as adding or removing a module or updating a survey or exam. When a course is reversioned, the existing version is archived, and a new version is created.

If you make major changes to an EasyGenerator course, first publish the update in EasyGenerator, then create a new version of the course in LearnUpon (reversioning will reset any In Progress learners back to the start of the course).

Before you reversion a course: go to Due Dates/Valid periods

  • Under Valid Periods, enable Allow relaunch after completion.

Course Status During Revision

When a course is marked as “Under revision,” it remains public and available in the Catalog or Store until you publish the new version.
After the new version is published, the previous version is archived.

Publishing a New Version

When you publish a new version:

  • Use the Reference code field to indicate major updates (for example, “v2 – new assessment”).
  • Re-add the course to the Catalog or mark it as Sellable so that it is visible in the Store.
  • Reapply the appropriate Category and/or org Group as needed.
  • When prompted during publishing, choose Yes for both questions about enrolling Not Started and In Progress users on the new version:

Liaison_Academy_PublishNewVersion.png

  • Completed learners on the old version will continue to have access to that original version of the course.

Archiving Courses

When you update a course, such as by adding a module, the system generates a new version of that course. Once you publish this updated version, the original course is archived. We keep archived courses to track our changes.

Notes:

  • If you created a test course with no enrolled users, you can delete the archive; otherwise, please leave it as is.
  • You can still report on archived courses.

From LearnUpon Knowledge Base:

When you archive a published course, LearnUpon removes it from the internal catalog and the list of courses available for enrolling new learners.

For learners already enrolled in the course, the archived course is visible from the Home or My Learning pages.

Learners in Not Started and In Progress states can complete the course. When they complete the course, they can access the course's content details page and download any associated certificate. They can't re-enroll or request enrollment again.

Adding Videos to courses

There are two options, if one doesn’t work then use the other:

Option 1

  1. Navigate to Course.
  2. Content > Add Module >Add Title to be ‘Video: Name of Video.’ 
  3. Choose Text & Images, choose the Embed Media icon [Liaison_Academy_EmbedMediaIcon.jpg].
  4. Paste in the following, replacing VIDEO LINK GOES HERE with your Vimeo video link:
    <style type="text/css">.vimeo-responsive {
        position: relative;
        padding-bottom: 56.25%;
        height: 0;
        overflow: hidden;
        max-width: 100%;
    }
    .vimeo-responsive iframe {
        position: absolute;
        top: 0;
        left: 0;
        width: 100%;
        height: 100%;
    }
    </style>
    <div class="vimeo-responsive"><iframe src="VIDEO LINK GOES HERE” style="width:100%;"iframe></div>
    
  5. Click Ok.

Additional Note: you may need to copy the video link from the embed code in Vimeo. Sometimes copying the video share link from Vimeo does not work. (And also, sometimes the code does not work from embedding it as a video, so just embed it by clicking Source.)

Option 2

This code also works for some videos:

<div class="video-responsive">
<iframe
    src="VIDEO LINK GOES HERE"
    width="100%"
    height="100%"
    frameborder="0"
    allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture">
</iframe>
</div>

Adding Feedback Forms

Add Feedback Forms to on-demand courses and webinars (not individual videos). Do not require the feedback form.

  1. Content > Add Module > Add Title as “Feedback Form.
  2. Choose Text & Images, choose the Embed Media icon [Liaison_Academy_EmbedMediaIcon.jpg].
  3. Paste in the following, replacing FEEDBACK FORM LINK GOES HERE with the appropriate form link (see details below):
    <div style="width:100%;height:900px;">
      <iframe
        src="FEEDBACK FORM LINK GOES HERE"
        width="100%"
        height="100%"
        frameborder="0">
      </iframe>
    </div>
    
  4. Click Ok.

Learners can unregister from a live event and choose a different future session, but they cannot fully unenroll from the course. 

Course setup

  • The Foundations course is available in the Store (Premier Education) to anyone who logs in to Liaison Academy.
  • All other Premier courses are only visible to users who belong to the TargetX Foundations Purchased group.
  • When a learner enrolls in TargetX Premier Education End User Foundations (Prerequisite Course), they are automatically added to the TargetX Foundations Purchased group (Group ID = 16386), which is used to control access to all other Premier courses.
