Module Learning resource
The Learning resource module includes settings that affect the courses and learning resources stored in the repository.
Settings tab
Section "Settings"
Area "In Preparation" under "Courses"
By activating this checkbox, administrators make the pre-selection "In Preparation" visible for participants in the "Courses" menu.
Participant view when activated:
Comment
The course info page can be called up in the header of a course.
An input field for submitting a comment can then be displayed on the info page.
The availability of this input field can be switched on/off globally by administrators here under Administration > Modules > Learning resource > Comment.
Assessment
Clickable stars for rating can also be displayed on the info page of a course.
The availability of stars for rating can be switched on/off globally by administrators here under Administration > Modules > Learning resource > Assessment.
Request membership
If someone opens a course to which they do not have access, a screen with a notice appears. There is a button here that can be used to request membership. When clicked, an email is sent to all course owners.
This function can be switched on/off globally by administrators under Administration > Modules > Learning resource > Request membership.
Taxonomy
Various taxonomies can be created under Administration > Modules > Taxonomy.
The activation and availability of these taxonomies in the repository can be configured here under Administration > Modules > Learning resource > Taxonomy by administrators.

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. This means they can terminate their own membership of a course and unsubscribe as a course member.
The following options are available as the default:
- At any time
- After the course end date or status "Finished"
- Never
This default setting can be adjusted by course owners in the course under (Course) Administration > Settings > Sharing tab on a course-specific basis.
Section "Notification"
OpenOlat can send notifications about events at various points. If someone wants to receive the notifications, a subscription can be set up.
Notifications about events in the repository currently (Release 19) 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 repository. 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.
Access tab
Section "Access"
Access for course owners/coaches
Anyone who is an owner or coach in a course (a learning resource) can always find that course in the Coaching tool. Here you can choose whether such learning resources can also be accessed under "Courses".
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").
