On the Configure step of the course editor you can adjust a few course settings options (i.e., scoring of content pages) and set a mastery score per section.
Mastery score means that to pass a course successfully, learners have to reach this score (in our case it’s 80%) per each section of the course.
This score can be seen on the progress bar under each section icon.
Cross-device progress saving can be enabled on the Configure step, under General settings.
Note: Cross-device progress saving is available in the Simple course only.
If the option is on, learners will be asked to authorize via social media or using their email.
If a learner decides to take a break and complete the course later, they just need to press the Take a break button.
Learners can continue with the course at any time from any device with an internet connection.
To start the course where you left off, click on the secret link – this link will be sent to your email.
Alternatively, you can login in the same way you did the first time, but you will be asked for a password that is also sent to your email. One and the same password will be used for all your courses.
Note: A password is sent only once.
You can reset password via Forgot password link.
In Easygenerator you can easily create a consistent visual design of your courses.
On the Design step you’ll find the following tabs: Themes, Branding, Layout and Fonts. Let’s go through all of them.
In the Themes section you can choose one of the available default themes. To do this, simply click on the one you like.
Also, you can create your own theme, save it and re-use in other courses. Thus, you’ll be able to brand all your courses in exactly the same way.
To create a theme, you need to adjust the design settings first by selecting a logo, background image, colours and fonts. After you’ve customized
your theme, click the Save theme button in the bottom left corner and type a name for the theme. It will be located it in the My themes section.
In the Branding tab you can change your course logo either by uploading it from your computer or by attaching an external link with it.
Changing your background design can have dramatic effects on the overall appearance of your courses, and it’s easy to do in Easygenerator.
Easygenerator has a gallery of ready-made backgrounds. You can choose whatever appeals to you in the Branding tab.
If nothing suits you, you can fill a background with any image or color you want.
Also, you can change its brightness and apply one of three display modes: full screen, repeat or original. You can also enable or disable a secondary background.
Color settings for Easygenerator courses, such as text color, main and secondary color, button text color and content body color, are accessible to you
and easy to change. Just go to the Interface colors and customize color settings.
If you want to change the way your sections are displayed, go to the Layout tab. You can have them presented in tiles or a list.
Here you can also enable the table of contents if needed.
In the Fonts tab you can choose fonts and adjust their styles accordingly. It is possible to customize fonts of the course interface and content separately.
To get more info on the design options, watch the following video tutorial.
On the Configure step of the course editor, you can set up General settings.
General course settings differ depending on a course template, and they are only available for Simple and Test/Assessment templates.
In the Simple course template, you can enable cross-device progress saving, login via social media, learner satisfaction survey, PDF export, and add copyright text.
Cross-device progress saving allows learners to take a break and continue passing a course later on any device with the Internet connection. Learn more.
Learner satisfaction survey allows measuring whether your learners are content with a course or not. Learn more.
PDF export allows downloading a course as PDF. Run your course via the share link (it won’t work in the preview mode), and in the top left corner, you’ll see Download as PDF button.
Copyright text will be displayed on each page of your course.
In the Test/Assessment template, you can choose between Quiz (a learner can see hints or learning content added to questions) and Exam (a learner can’t see hints) modes.
Question pool. You can choose whether to show all questions available in the course to a learner or a certain subset of random questions.
Question order. You can randomize the order of questions (on every attempt).
Show answers from the previous attempt. You can choose whether to show or reset answers from the previous attempt.
Set time limit. Use this option to set a specific time limit that a user will have to complete the course. The timer will be shown in the top right corner of the screen.
Number of attempts. You can set a certain number of attempts or allow an unlimited number of attempts.
On the Configure step of the course editor under Template language you can choose the language for your course.
You can present the course template interface in one of the available languages:
All text items that are present in the course template interface (texts of the buttons, titles and headings, field names, error messages, validation messages, etc.) can be also translated into a different language.
In the language dropdown select Custom. In the Translation column you can replace the default text items of the course template interface that are in English with the translated ones.
