Taxonomy

Use of taxonomy in the catalog

Activating taxonomy in the learning resource means that the selected "structure" is available in the catalog. For this to work, the corresponding taxonomy must first be created and integrated.

Prerequisite

Various taxonomies can be created under Administration > Modules > Taxonomy.

A taxonomy cannot be deselected in this area as long as it is used in a launcher of the catalog. Attempting to deselect it shows the message: "The taxonomy is still used in a launcher of the catalogue and therefore cannot be deselected."

Section "Default settings"

Participants may leave

This option specifies a default setting for all new courses. (Existing courses are not affected by this.) Course participants can then decide for themselves whether they want to leave a course.

The following options are available as the default:

  • At any time
  • After the course end date or status "Finished"
  • Never

Course-specific

This preselected setting can be adjusted again on a course-specific basis by course owners: (Course) Administration > Settings > Sharing tab

Section "Notification"

OpenOlat can send notifications about events at various points. If someone wants to receive the notifications, a subscription can be set up.

Note

Notifications about events in the learning resource currently only affect the subscription "Notify owners about status changes for learning resources".

Subscribers

A) Default setting
Activating/deactivating the subscription determines whether a subscription for the described target group is also set up by default when a new course or learning resource is created in the authoring area. This has no effect on already existing subscriptions.

B) Existing subscriptions can be updated using the "Activate existing subscriptions" and "Deactivate existing subscriptions" buttons.

Section "Default role priority"

This setting defines the order in which roles are prioritized when a member has multiple roles when accessing the learning resource. The top role in the list has the highest priority. System roles always have a lower priority than member roles.

Section "Access"

Access for course owners/coaches

Anyone who is an owner or coach in a course (a learning resource) finds that learning resource in the Coaching tool. Under "My Courses", learning resources are displayed in which the person themselves is a participant.

Show notice in "Courses"

If this toggle button is activated, course owners/coaches receive notices about the effects of the access setting.

Overview of access settings for Sites

Under Administration > Customizing > Sites, administrators can configure which menu items (sites) are displayed in the main navigation (header).

Here (under the Learning resource module) it shows what is configured there regarding "Courses" and "Coaching tool". Whether this site should be displayed in the header at all, and for which roles it is visible.

To change the settings, you can switch directly via a link to Administration > Customizing > Sites ("Open site settings").

Section Status "Finished"

Here you define system-wide what access participants have to a course or a learning resource in the status "Finished". This setting is the default for all courses and can be overridden per course.

  • Read-only: The content is still available to participants in read-only mode.
  • No access: Participants no longer have access to the content. When they open it, a notice page appears referring them to the responsible contact person.

Course owners set the course-specific override in the course under:
Administration > Settings > Options tab
