Editions

Overview 

 In Forma, the idea behind editions is to have many separate issues of the same master course, with different start/end date and subscription groups. 

 All the editions of a course will inherit and share some features from the Master course: 

 

 Course Menu 

 Course Materials 

 Logo and general configuration 

 Certificates 

 

 To create a course with editions, you can select the desired course type upon course creation. 

 IMPORTANT:  Do not convert an existing elearning course to editions: it won't be possible to manage the original subscribers that weren't associated to any edition 

 Add and Manage Editions 

 Click on the “editions” column in course management to add and configure your editions
