Administration: Overview

course_administration_v2_en.png

Video introduction (German): Admin-Funktionen

If you have selected a course as author, the "Administration" button is displayed at the top left. There you will find all options for editing, configuration and administration of the selected course. (Before and during use of the course.) The most important options for authors include the course editor and the settings.

**The "Administration" button is also available for coaches. However, fewer options are then displayed, and only those relevant to coaches. In particular, for example, the assessment tool.

Note

Some options are only available if the corresponding feature has been activated. If necessary, please contact your administrator.

Other learning resources also have the "Administration" menu, but the menu options there are not as extensive. They vary depending on the learning resource.

Below you will find an overview of the "Administration" menu options for Courses.
