Creating and managing courses
Courses are the backbone of the Breakroom for Training LMS -- and once you've created them, you can edit and preserve their contents as needed. Learn how to create, edit, archive and retrieve courses.
Overview
In the Breakroom for Training system, courses contain all of the information required for administration of a single class or an entire academic or vocational course. Courses can consist of waivers, quizzes, and syllabuses, which may be administered individually or included as part of student- or Instructor-led content modules.
Once students interact with a particular course's content, student information and progress can be tracked and reviewed as needed. Courses can also be archived, which preserves their contents and prevents them from being edited.
Adding a new course

Breakroom for Training course content is created and managed through the Dashboard. To create a new course, follow these steps.
Navigate to your Dashboard.
Click on the Learning Management tab.
Click the Add Course button.
In the Create New Course window that appears, enter a name and description for your course.
If you like, you can click the Upload Image button to upload a course header from your own computer, or click the "Select from Our Course Image Templates" link to choose a basic color or generic course image.
When you are satisfied, click the Create button.
Activating and deactivating courses

Once you add a course to Breakroom for Training, you will see that course appear as a card under the Learning Management tab. When courses are first created, they are inactive by default. To activate or deactivate a course, click the vertical ellipses icon in the upper right corner of the card, and then click the Activate/Deactivate Course button.
Activated courses are live on your Breakroom World and can be accessed by students and Instructors. Inactive courses are inaccessible to students and Instructors, but World Owners and World Administrators can still edit their contents via the Dashboard.
Editing course information

You can edit your course details at any time by clicking the vertical ellipses icon in the upper right corner of the course card on the Learning Management tab, and then clicking the Edit Course Info button.
Adding course notes

You can add notes to a course that will only be visible to those with Dashboard access. To do so, click the Notes button in the course card.
Archiving courses
Breakroom for Training courses can be archived, which deactivates them and prevents their contents from being edited. This preserves their contents for future use.
To archive a course, follow these steps.
Navigate to your Dashboard.
Click on the Learning Management tab.
Click the vertical ellipses icon in the course card, and select Archive in the menu that appears.

To locate an archived course and make it accessible again, follow these steps.
Navigate to your Dashboard.
Click on the Learning Management tab.
Click the Filter button in the top right corner. In the menu that appears, check the Archived List option. This will reveal all of your archived courses.
Locate the course you want to unarchive. Click the vertical ellipses icon in the course card, then select Unarchive This Course in the menu that appears.
To display all of your active and inactive courses, click the Filter button again and check the box beside the Show All option.
