Training Curriculum & LMS

The Training module is a generic, reusable learning-management system in the research portal. Any organisation configures its own courses, roles/audiences, languages and pass marks — nothing about a specific institution is built in.

Open it from the research portal sidebar → Training (/research/training).

Build a course

  1. New Course — set the title, description, audience/role, language, and pass mark % (default 80).
  2. Add modules — each module is a step in the curriculum. A module can pull its content from a curriculum lecture (built in the Lectures builder, type=curriculum) or carry its own Markdown content. Modules are ordered.
  3. Assessment — open Assessment and add multiple-choice questions (2–4 options each, mark the correct one). Optionally set an assessment pass mark that overrides the course default.
  4. Publish the course when ready.

Enrol learners and track progress

  • On the course page, enrol a learner (name + optional email).
  • Each enrolment has a Learn view: the learner works through the modules, marking each complete. Progress is tracked and shown as a bar.
  • Once all modules are complete, the assessment unlocks.

Assessment, pass mark and certification

  • The learner takes the assessment; it is scored automatically.
  • When the score meets the pass mark and all modules are complete, the enrolment is marked completed and a certificate (with a unique number and the score) is issued. The certificate is viewable and printable.
  • The learner's best score is retained across attempts.

Roles / cohorts / languages

All of these are per-deployment configuration, not hard-coded: define whatever roles/audiences you need, set each course's language, and enrol any cohort. A sysadmin course is just a course with an admin-oriented curriculum.

Notes

  • Course content reuses the Lecture builder curriculum lectures (#1105) — author once, sequence into one or more courses.
  • This is Phase 1 (curriculum, modules, assessment, enrolment, progress, certification). Planned Phase 2: reporting dashboards, SCORM 1.2 / xAPI export, and virtual-classroom (Zoom/Meet/Teams) attendance adapters.

Tracked as issue #1099.
