Each learning resource has an information page. This can be filled by the course owner and is available to interested parties after publication of the learning resource, independent of a booking, before entering the learning resource. This is useful, for example, if you want to inform the target group in advance.

The info page is set up via the "Administration" menu and the "Info", "Metadata" and "Execution" tabs. The more detailed you describe the learning resource, the easier it can be found and the better informed interested parties and later participants are.

The screenshot shows the "Settings" of a course. Depending on the learning resource only a part of the tabs is available.

  • None: Select this option if the course does not start and end on a specific date. These rates are considered permanently active.
  • With begin and end date: If a course has a certain start and end date, but this does not correspond to an available semester configuration, you can use this option to set course-specific dates.
  • Semester: If semester data has been configured at system level, you can use this option to configure an execution for a specific semester. In this case, the start and end dates are controlled via the semester configuration.

The configured execution period is displayed in the list of learning resources and the metadata.
