Courses

All about the containers of maps (aka Scenarios or webinars)

What are Courses?

Courses are a functional grouping of sets of maps, along with sets of users who can play those maps. Kinda like a superset of maps, if you like.

In OLab3, they were called Scenarios (see Glossary) and had an odd dual function. As well as providing another layer to access control (who could play a map), they also provided a way of grouping sessions for reporting purposes.

They are a little bit similar to a Course in a Learning Management System (LMS).

In OLab4.6 onwards, learning designs that involve supersets of cases and other materials will be handled by the parent LMS that you are using to authenticate users into OLab.

So far, this approach has been tested with Moodle. If you are interested in exploring this further, please contact us.
