Creating trainings (courses) is a key function for administrators. IlluxiLMS allows you to create asynchronous courses (self-paced content) and synchronous trainings (scheduled live sessions). The basic process for creating a new training product is as follows:
Enter Admin Catalog: Go to the Admin Portal and click on Catalog (or Trainings). Within Catalog, select Products – this is where courses (training products) are listed.
Click “Create Product”: On the Products page, click the Create Product button (usually on the top-right). This opens the course creation form.
General Info Tab: Fill in the general details for the course:
Title: Name of the training.
Description: A brief overview or summary of the training’s content and objectives.
Type: Choose the training type (e.g., e-learning module, webinar, workshop, etc.). For illuxiLMS, this might determine if it’s synchronous or asynchronous.
Category: (If categories are used) Select a category to organize the training.
Thumbnail/Image: Upload an image for the course if desired.
Content / Modules Tab (for Asynchronous): If creating an asynchronous training, you’ll have a section to add content units (lessons):
You can add videos, documents, quizzes, SCORM packages, etc. Click Add Content and choose the type of unit you want to add.
Repeat to build a structured course outline with multiple units. You can typically rearrange units by dragging them.
If the course is modular, group content into sections or modules as needed.
Sessions/Schedule Tab (for Synchronous): If creating a synchronous training (live session or a course with events):
Set up one or more sessions with date, time, and location or webinar link.
Configure enrollment limits (max attendees) and enrollment deadline if needed.
If integration with a video conferencing (like Zoom) is available, provide the meeting details or use integrated scheduling.
Settings Tab: Configure additional settings:
Availability: Is the course published (visible to users) or draft? By default, new courses might be in Inactive/Draft status. You can choose to publish it immediately or later.
Enrollment Rules: Set who can enroll (open to all users, or only specific groups, or by invitation). If it’s a paid course, set the price and payment gateway configuration.
Completion Rules: For asynchronous courses, define completion criteria (e.g., must view all units, pass the final quiz with X%, etc.).
Certificates: Attach a certificate template if this course should issue certificates upon completion.
Notifications: Enable or edit notification emails (registration confirmation, reminders, etc.) for this course.
Save/Add Product: After filling out all required fields in each tab, click Add Product or Save to create the training. If any required information is missing, the system will indicate what to fix.
Review and Publish: Once saved, review the course details. If it’s ready, set the course status to Active/Published so that learners can see it in the catalog. If you want to hide it until a later time, keep it as draft/inactive.
After creating the training, it’s good practice to do a quick test: ensure the course appears correctly in the catalog, maybe enroll a test user, and verify that content plays properly or that the session details are correct. You can always edit the training later by going back to Catalog > Products, selecting the course, and adjusting its content or settings.
