Now that you have your written outline, build your course
Implementing the course outline in the CourseBuilder
In a previous post, we discussed where to begin when authoring a course: create a course purpose, course objectives, an outline and an introduction.
Now, we will discuss how, once you follow the above steps, you can use the outline you created to build the course.
In KeyStone OnDemand, you have the ability to create an outline in the CourseBuilder before you officially add the content. The image below shows you an example of a new course outline in the CourseBuilder. You can use the written outline you created to form this outline. Keep in mind that this outline can be edited and the names can be changed at any time. So while this outline will help with organizing your content, it does not have to be the final form.
The CourseBuilder allows you to add a name and place for an article, quiz or video without actually adding the item itself. It is our suggestion you do so, then you know exactly where you will be placing all your content. Once you have created the outline, you can search for content you have already created to place in the course. If you create content after you create the course, you can assign the content to that course while you are creating it.
As you can see, building a course in KeyStone OnDemand is simple, especially if you take a few minutes to prepare a course outline.
