You can perform the following actions from the Course Profile:
The child forms section of the Course Profile is divided into several tabs. Each tab contains one or more child forms containing information related to the course.
The following tabs are available:
Use the Course Participation Tab to track the participants and event participants who register for this course. There are two child forms under the Participation tab; the participants child form which shows those participants that register through the certification module (i.e., those courses not associated to an Event) and the event participants child form, which shows those participants who register for a course through an Event being held rather than an independent course. When your Certification Course is independent of an Event, your participants often register through eWeb, or you might register them yourself using the Register button on the Course Profile Actions Bar.
Use the Course Log Tab to track changes to the Course. The change log tracks any changes in values made to the Course. And who made the changes.
Use the Credits Tab to track any credits related to this course. You can also add credits. Certification Programs normally have a designated amount of credits a certificant must achieve before the individual is considered certified. The credits child form is where you can specify how many credits each course is worth.
Use the fees tab to track and add course fees. A course fee should be set-up for each course. Associated with the course fee is the course name, location, course dates, session names, start and end times, estimated and actual number of attendees.
Use the offerings tab to track event offerings and course/exam offerings. You can also add event offerings. The Offerings Tab is used to track each Event your course is associated with as well as the individual Course Sessions and Registrants for those sessions. Remember, courses and registrants not associated with an Event are tracked on the Participation Tab discussed in the previous section. There are two child forms under the Offerings Tab; the event child form which tracks each Event the course is associated with and the course/exam offerings child form which tracks individual session offerings and registrants for those sessions.
Use the certification tab to track and add certification programs that include this course.
