Quick Links
Click on each of the Quick Links to view more information about the course event.
Properties Tab
These properties define the course event and may differ from other course events that use the same course. Note that you may not see some of the options listed below, depending on the course and event settings.
Edit Button
Click this button to make changes to the course event's properties. Note that if the course event is marked as "Approved" you will not be able to edit many fields.
Delete Record Button
Click this button to erase these settings. This will not do anything to the VISION Developer module lessons included in the course event, and you will not be able to delete approved courses.
Course Event Approved
Whether the course event is approved and ready to be delivered to students, or unapproved and not able to be delivered to students. Once the course event is approved you will not be able to edit many settings.
Course Event Urgent
"Yes" will give this course event an "Urgent" warning so learners will know that they need to complete it quickly. This cannot be edited for an approved course event.
Course Title
The Course title is made up of a prefix added in the Learning Station and the course's title; "Prefix : Course Title". This cannot be edited for an approved course event.
Start Date
The date on which learners will be able to interact with the lesson material. This can be edited for an approved course event.
End Date
The date on which learners will no longer be able to interact with the lesson material. This can be edited for an approved course event.
Lead Instructor
Select a VISION Learning Station user to be the instructor for the course event. This person will be the learner's primary point of contact during the course event and will be the person referenced on reports. The users you can assign to this position are determined by the Organization and Job Position associated with the course. This can be edited for an approved course event.
Alternate Instructors
Select one or more VISION Learning Station users to be alternate instructors for the course event. Alternate instructors can do any of the regular tasks of an instructor, but will not be listed on course event reports. The users you can assign to this position are determined by the Organization and Job Position associated with the course. This can be edited for an approved course event.
Use Objective Lifespan to Update Questions
This option effects the question pool that any exams built for this course event are made from. In the past, only one version of a question could be used on all the exams for a course event, the version that was approved when the course was approved in VISION Developer. If you select "No", to this option, that will continue.
If you select "Yes", the questions in this course's question pool will use the most current approved version, regardless of what version was approved when the course was approved. This means that questions can be updated during the span of this course event (including practice questions), and those updated questions will be used on the course event's exams, with a few exceptions:
•Once an objective is changed its questions will no longer update and be frozen at their most recent version at the time of the objective change.
•The question pool used for a specific exam is set once an exam has started, so the questions will not update during an exam.
•The questions for a specific exam are recorded for that exam, so if a learner views them after completing the exam, they will only see the questions that were on their exam, regardless of whether they've been updated.
Note that you cannot change or edit this option once the course event has been created.
Course is Public
Whether or not the course will be listed in VISION Learning Station's Course Catalog. If this course is organization specific, it will only be available to learners within the organization. If this course is not organization specific, you will be able to limit the organizations that have access to the course. This can be edited for an approved course event.
•Public Course Organizations: The organizations from which learners will be able to register for the course event. This could be "All Organizations" or it could be a list of specific organizations.
Enforce Lesson Prerequisites
Click "Yes" to require learners to pass any prerequisites entered for this course in the VISION Developer module. A "No" will allow learners to take this course regardless of whether they have passed any of its prerequisites. This cannot be edited for an approved course event.
Course Linked to Program Hierarchy
This states whether or not the course that this course event is based on is linked to a training unit in the VISION Developer module. This cannot be edited for an approved course event.
(Learner can) Self Register
Allows learners to enroll themselves in the course event. This cannot be edited for an approved course event.
(Learner can) Self Withdraw
This allows the student to withdraw at any point prior to starting an exam. If a learner withdraws they will lose any progress in the course event. This cannot be edited for an approved course event.
Days before class is visible (to Learner)
This indicates the number of days prior to the date entered as the "Start Date" the course event will appear in the student’s Training Events area. This cannot be edited for an approved course event.
Course Evaluation Form
Select the course evaluation that will be sent to learners when they have completed the course event. This step is optional, but it can give the instructor valuable feedback about the course. This cannot be edited for an approved course event.
Course Evaluation Required
This cannot be edited for an approved course event.

Course Passing Score
Enter the percent score that learners must obtain from all of the lessons in the course event to pass it. Note that learners will also have to pass each lesson within the course (designated by the lesson's assessment profile) to earn course completion. In other words, if a learner meets the course passing score average but fails one lesson, they will not pass the course.
Assessment profile contains the passing score for the TU, this is graded 2nd, as an average of them.
This cannot be edited for an approved course event.

Holds are meant to pause all learners in a course and give them an opportunity to upload documents that their instructor can review before they proceed. Once a hold is released, the learner won't be able to edit or upload new documents to it, so it is important for an instructor to review any documents before releasing a hold.
